Brilliant from 1st contact
5/5

I contacted Home to Africa tours after seeing their tours on this site. I was really impressed with the quick response. I initially decided on the standard 10 day tour but added the Ziwa rhino sanctuary on. There were a few more changes as I wanted to do a night safari and to see the golden monkeys. Hedmond was always quick to reply and to confirm the changes. I was a little anxious paying over a large sum of money to a company I had no dealings with prior but there was no need to worry as they are super professional.
I was met at the airport by my guide/driver Vianney who was with me for the next 10 days. He was a great wildlife spotter, excellent driver and super travel companion. In Bwindi when another group wanted to take the gorilla family that had already been allocated to us (I'd joined up with another Home to Africa group) our guides stood their ground and said we'd arrived early to get that group (an easier trek for us oldies). It was appreciated as it was the family I had been secretly hoping for (Mukuza family)
The lodges were once chosen for me by Home to Africa and I'm glad to say that the change of lodge at Murchison Falls NP (Fort Murchison lodge not having availability) was fantastic as it's inside the gate and we were 1st out in the morning and saw several hyenas on the track.
This was the most amazing holiday ever and made more so as everything was so well organized.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour operator and Uganda as fabulous destination

We recommend safari trip in Uganda with Karim and Home To Africa
5/5

We’ve just finished our sarafi trip in Uganda with Home to Africa and guide Karim. It was 11 days of great adventures, beautiful views, and a lot of birds and animals. I recommend this trip to everyone who wants to go to the safari in Africa. This trip is a lot more than just a safari. Chimpanzee tracking and visiting gorillas in their natural habitat is absolutely amazing and really anyone can do it. Uganda is a very beautiful country and very safe one. Food is very good, main roads are also great. We have never before eaten as good&sweet fruits: pineapple, passion fruit, avocado, bananas. Our guide-Karim became our good friend from the very beginning of our trip and made it unforgetable with his smile, his care, his great knowledge. He knows everything about the animals, birds, plants, the history of Uganda and much more! He has always provided the best for us: the best seats, the best views, even animals we spotted at safaris were always incredibly close to us ;) We are very gratefull for everything and we hope to come back and see this beautiful country again, of course again with Karim and Home to Africa!

Enjoy Uganda with a fun companion and peace of mind!
5/5

From our initial contact to ask for information till our airport drop off, our guide as well as everyone we spoke to at HTA were very helpful and made this trip easy for us. Our guide Amos is a young man that everybody seems to know in Uganda ;)) Very polite and extremely knowledgeable, and very able driver too.
The tour was a 5 day gorilla trekking, and HTA were more than eager to accommodate our picked destinations and activities at a very competitive price.
Uganda itself is among the most beautiful countries we have been in Africa, with abundance of wildlife and the kindest people. Great food too!!
Seen gorilla's in their natural habitat with the least possible hassle for them was definitely the highlight of our trip and surely among the most cherished experiences of my life!

Unforgettable experience
5/5

Our Uganda experience was unforgettable! Derrick, our guide, took great care of us and took us to the most beautiful places through half of whole country. The accomodations were always beautiful and we were treated exceptionally. The safaris and trekking were amazing, the nature incredible. We saw so many things, so many animals, we will not forget this trip. Derrick introduced himself to us as the best guide and he definitely lived up to that!

Perfect customer orientation, always able to adapt one´s needs and changes to individual circumstanc
5/5

It was an outstanding 1-week experience with my guide and experienced driver Vianney. He was a perfect organizer and mastered challenging marrum road conditions excellently. I always felt absolutely safe. And... we´ve had big fun and laughter in many situations. Vianney, a man with a good sense of humour and also interested and engaged in more sophisticated conversations.

I got in contact with a new a different side of Uganda.

I felt home with Vianney and Home to Africa. If there will be another opportunity, I´d book the 2 again.

Great Tour
5/5

Tour was very good. Balam, our guide, was great - his knowledge really was amazing. Everything went smoothly with Home to Africa. We were a little unimpressed with some of the lodges, largely because they were being renovated while we were staying there.

Our guide, Karim, was exceptional!
5/5

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how wonderful this 6-day tour was. From our pre-trip communications to our last hugs with Karim, our experience with the Home to Africa team was exceptional. They worked with us to design a trip that met the various needs and dreams of our family of five. It surpassed our expectations! And Karim - tour guide extraordinaire! He continually went above and beyond. For instance, at one of the lodges there was no electric in our cozy, lovely tent cabin. My husband uses a CPAP machine to sleep at night. While we were sitting in the lodge sipping wine in front of a roaring fire and listening to live, native music before dinner, Karim and a staff member were running a cable and power strip through the woods down to our cabin so my hubby could plug in his machine! If you are looking to book a safari, please, look no further. You won’t be sorry. And ask for Karim!!!!
