Amazing
The trip was amazing,
The allocated guide is a good person and very helpful
The accommodations were OK and each has its strong point, some of them were awesome as Lake Bunyonyi. Rock Resort
There they have prepare the arrangement for my wife's birthday, was a nice surprise
During the trip we were not able to spot the Leopards and to increase the possibility to see this amazing feline we have requested a change in our tour. After we have explained our wishes the tour operator did all the needed arrangements. And we saw the LEOPARD.
In my opinion the tour operators can propose some improvement at the customer proposal, we don't know all the nice places in Uganda

Ask for Benon!
A great trip for a rich and very pleasant experience. We were lucky both on the weather and the amount of animals observed but the beauty of the parks is guaranteed. We were also lucky to have had Benon as a guide. He proved invaluable, considerate and opinionated throughout the trip and made it even more tasty by his good humor and kindness.

amazing company
this is really to review the whole experience that I had with Home To Africa. Given some of the earlier reviews, I just went with the hunch that they would be good. I did not expect outstanding which is what I got. From their response times (24/7) to all my questions and the detail of their responses to the entire 8 days that I was there, there is nothing more than I could have wanted. Hedmond in the office and Karim as my guide - what a combination of excellent service.

Elias and the Home to Africa team are amazing!
I contacted Home to Africa to assist with arranging gorilla permits in Uganda. From the first contact, Elias was extremely responsive and patient with answering all of my questions. He was able to arrange the permits quickly and even went out of his way to send me a receipt on a public holiday! The whole time, Elias made me feel really good about my choice to work with him and I felt like Home to Africa was very trustworthy, even though we were only communicating by email about pretty large amounts of money from thousands of miles away. I cannot say enough good things about the service Home to Africa provided and their excellent communication. I will be doing most of my trip backpacking independently, but if I ever come back to Uganda to go on safari with a tour company, Home to Africa would be the first company I would consider going with. Thank you Elias and everyone else on the Home to Africa team!

Generally very caring personalized service provided by knowledgeable driver/guides and admin.
Home To Africa promptly provided answers to all our initial inquiries. They provided a personalized itinerary to meet our safari expectations and goals.
At times it felt like one of our driver guides was "clock watching" which meant we had to leave Ngorongoro Crater earlier than we would have liked in order to cope with the long drive to meet our time schedule.
Throughout the process, the communication was very good, the service excellent and the safari in total lived up to expectations.
I would recommend HTA as they try very hard to provide an experience that is memorable and achieves the clients' needs. Choice of accommodation was excellent and the food plentiful.
Thank you Elias and staff and our wonderful guide in Uganda - Karim - a real gentleman!

From Kigali to Bwindi: Fantastic service and amazing experience.
Me and my boyfriend decided in the last minute to travel to Bwindi for a long weekend. When we contacted Hedmond, he was very helpful and made it easy for us even with the payment option (as we wanted to use transferwise and it was not going to be a direct payment). Anyways, within 4 days everything was organized, visa, tour, gorilla trekking... and when we arrived to Kigali Oscar picked us up and drove us to the border with Uganda, where we met our friend Derrick. I have to say... what a fantastic music taste ;) We relaxed and enjoy the whole experience so much, and ended our trip in Lake Bunyonyi, a very nice proposal from Hedmond. Also, I would like to take the chance to thanks the whole team of Home to Africa because he had some trouble with the payment and they were patient enough. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience with extremely professional staff
Our Safari with Home to Africa was extremely nice. Before embarking on our journey, communication with the company was seamless and Hedmond helped us in the organization of every detail and answered to all our questions. Even though the itineraries seem fixed, Home to Africa managed to accommodate every request. Upon arrival in Entebbe, we met our guide Karim, who was with us for the entire journey. His professional advice and wide knowledge on wildlife and other topics made our journey exceptional. The accommodations were all up to our expectations and even above, all of them had fantastic view on parks, provided good food and the personnel was always friendly and helpful. This was our first Safari experience and Home to Africa, and especially Karim, made an unforgettable experience that we aim to repeat very soon.

Exceptional service ... loved it!
My best friend and I went with Home To Africa after a lot of research ... it has been about a month since we returned but still can't help talk about it! We had a terrific time - Elias was exceptional with communications, flexibility on itinerary, etc. Alex was a great guide and helped us see it ALL!!
The hotels were terrific ... and the people of Uganda (and therefore the service) are AMAZING!!!
The only downside was the comfort of the vehicle - the A/C was fickle (even in February, Uganda is hot) and the roads need a few billion dollars of investment. So I would confirm the specific vehicle type that would be used.
However, I would 100% recommend Home to Africa ... they literally treat you like you are family!
Good
Uganda and Rwanda are amazing countries. Great people and good food and very affordable. Amazing landscapes, nature reserves and parks. We even saw the most elusive green breasted African pitta in kibale Forest. That was stunning. The holy grail bird for birders. As she is hardly ever seen even by ardent hardcore bird watchers. What luck we saw one and even took pictures. We had a blast with gorillas and even saw a leopard let alone lions and all. Time of our lives we had. And Rolex. Best food item We have ever had. Our guide Alex was lovely and tried very hard to accommodate anything we wanted and he sure did. Lovely experience.
Only drawback and was a MASSIVE ONE was that our car was a Toyota hiace wagon that was in shambles with no air conditioning and very uncomfortable so please in the future do ask about the car you will be provided with. For us it was a learning experience for sure so please make sure your future ride is a Toyota Land Cruiser minimum with working air conditioning.
