We visited 3 Ugandian national parks for gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking & game drives.
We had a fantastic tour with Home to Africa Tours. Kareem, our guide, was personable and knowledgeable. He ensured that we saw everything we wanted to and answered our unending questions about the wildlife, culture, terrain. Hedmond was responsive to all my inquiries before the tour, helped us to make modifications to our original itinary and always replied within 24 hours. We enjoyed all of the lodging and couldn't have wished for a better trip.

Magic gorilla visit
Home to Africa delivered everything I asked for. Nice lodge at Bwindi and a wonderful hotel at lake Bunyonyi. I asked for a guide knowledgeable about birds and Tony, my guide, was really good.
There were four groups in the gorilla park, thanks to Tony I was alloted to the group who had to walk the shortest distance to meet a gorilla family. Still very steep and strenuous. I strongly recomend you hire a porter, he will carry your rucksack and pull you up if necessary. My only regret was not spending an extra night at the wonderful lake Bunyonyi.

It was an amazing tour
I had an amazing time in Uganda for bird watching and seeing gorillas in the wild. Our tour guide had carefully planned out our trips ahead of the time and very attentive and flexible to our needs during our trip as well. We stayed some beautiful and memorial country side in Uganda. We saw all these beautiful birds and amazing animals. The tour was way beyond my expectations and gave me a great insight about Uganda's culture and peoples daily life as well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to go to Uganda.

Africa at it’s best
The whole trip exceeded our expectations. Everything worked very well. Our guide spoke very good english, he was capable of answering all our questions, he was very responsible and punctual but most importantly very friendly and easy going so it felt more like travelling with a friend rather than with a guide. The programme was outstanding as well.
Would recommend

Wonderful Experience
My brother and I only had a couple of days in Uganda and wanted to get a lot of things in the schedule. Thanks to Home to Africa, it was all possible. They were very accommodating. I am a vegetarian and never had a problem getting something to eat. There was some mix up from the main office about locations on our schedule, but Nasser, our wonderful guide went out of his want to correct it and get us where we needed to go. He was very knowledgeable about Africa itself as well as the locations we visited and the animals we saw. It was also evident that he had a lot of experience as other guides from other touring companies kept coming to him for advice. I would say that all in all, Home to Africa provides reasonably priced tours but what made our trip fantastic was our guide, Nasser. Don't ever lose him!

What an amazing adventure!
Planning & organization with the company was exceptional before, during and after the tour. The company was responsive throughout the process and made recommendations on the overall tour for our group of 6 friends. Thank you Elias and team for helping us out and planning this amazing trip.
The tour was culturally rich as well as opportunity to be with nature and an abundance of wildlife. We saw lions, gorillas, chimpanzees, zebra, elephants, giraffes, worthogs, water buffalo, birds and so much more. We also had the opportunity of being with the people of Uganda and ventured through several villages including a specific pygmy village where they performed (sang songs and danced) for our group - a wonderful experience learning about the Pygmy people.
The food and lodgings were mixed (some better than others), but all were great and included private sleeping and bathroom facilities for each couple. Parkview lodge was probably our favorite because of the swimming pool but each offered something wonderful. The food was plentiful and excellent! Morning crepes/pancakes, toast (bread is fresh), soups and rolex were excellent and so much fresh fruit - we didn't lose any weight for sure!
The vehicle we had was in great condition even though it took a beating due to many dirt roads. Our gear for 6 people fit inside with no problem when transferring from one lodge to another lodge and there was always bottled water available. Our driver/guide kept it very clean too even after rainy/muddy days.
Our driver/guide Karim is the best one I've ever had on any trip. He genuinely cared about our experiences and worked very hard to ensure we enjoyed all the aspects of the tour and he kept us safe and reminded us on the do's and don'ts along the way. With Karim is was also evident that he knows everyone along the way, this came in handy when we missed our ferry (but they came back to get us once they saw Karim...seriously). Karim became our friend and family and we'll keep in touch with him.
We made a lifetime of wonderful memories with Karim and Home to Africa Tours and Travel. I highly recommend travel with this operator - you won't be disappointed.

Very Enjoyable
I was born in Uganda and so I asked for a personalised itinerary as I wanted to visit my home town of Soroti and also Mbale. Hedmond was very helpful and after couple of changes I was happy and could not wait to start my tour. The price quoted for the safari was reasonable and good value for money. Our guide//driver Derick was very helpful and caring and made our holiday a memorable one.
The hike up the Mt Elgon to Sipi falls was amazing and very beautiful. We also visited Murchison Falls National park and saw lot of wild life. The highlight was the boat ride to the falls and the hike up to the top of the falls with so many different viewpoints. Also went Rhino trekking at Ziwa Rhino sanctuary and saw Malaika(mum)with Elias(baby). We also came across another pregnant female with two older young ones.
Then we visited QE National park and the highlight was the boat ride on Kazinga channel. Lot of hippos,crocodiles,buffaloes,elephants and birds.
The game drive was excellent as well. Came across one charging bull. All the pools were full of hippos and couple of them were shared with buffaloes. Lot of other wild animals as well and luck enough to see lions.
Thank you Home to Africa for a wonderful safari. I am impressed with the service you provided and attention to details.
