Great support before and during our safari
The great experience with Home To Africa started even before the travel. Company seems very well managed with competent and happy employees.
Very competent support from Hedmond to customize our trip to our need with two teenagers and an 8 year old. Hedmond was very responsive and provided very good recommendations to activities and accomodation. Everything on the trip was as planned in the itinerary.
A special thank you to our guide Karim who went over and above to give us a great experience:
- Very knowledgeable about Uganda and its history as well as the National Parks and the wildlife.
- Very professional and safe driver (this is not a given)
- Always smiling and very pleasant company
- Flexible and patient to accomodate any need
- Perfect English
Thank you so much to Hedmond and especially Karim for making this trip an experience for life for us
Best recommendations.

Home to Africa Tours served as the complete tour company from introduction to tour completion.
Home to Africa provided a portal to the beauty of Uganda for our two adult daughters, their spouses, and my wife and me. We had much trepidation and concern prior to engaging their services. After communicating with them, reading the reviews of other travelers, and discussing with our party members, we made the trip and were very pleased with the total experience. Karim (pronounced KA-REEM) retrieved us from the airport at 0230 with a smile and reassuring, calming demeanor. We saw rhinos, elephants, water buffalo, leopard, lions, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles and a wide range of other animals that support and allow the ecosystem to flourish in several parks. We got up and personal with chimpanzees and mountain gorillas, an experience that our group may never have another chance to experience in our lifetimes. Our budget-midrange lodging provided us warm and welcoming hospitality and service, and there was always warm, tasty and comforting food for nourishment. During our trip, our guide, Karim's, mother passed away, and that's where we witnessed firsthand the care Home to Africa owners and management had in making sure Karim was able to travel home to be with his family and address his late mother's affairs, while ensuring we had another competent guide assume the guide role for our trip. This may seem trivial to us in more modern countries, but in the bush, hundreds of miles away from mass transportation, this was quite the logistics achievement. Home to Africa, provided us a safe and memorable experience that I know our family will be talking about and remembering fondly for the rest of our lives. We appreciated their prompt and thorough communication, attentiveness, and great guide service provided by Karim before his departure.

Incredible!
My long-time dream was to go to Uganda and of course I couldn't choose a better agency to do it. From the beginning everything was easy to make the changes we wanted and to be able to make an unforgettable honeymoon.
The best thing about the trip, in addition to getting to know Uganda, its people and culture, its landscapes and many animals, was getting to know Derrick, our guide, a discovery. What a kind, fun and attentive man, undoubtedly the best guide we could have.

Great and trusted tour operator in Uganda
We did a 7D/6N Safari with Home To Africa and fell in love with Uganda!
Our guide, William, was very friendly, helpful, flexible and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the safari with him.
The accomodations we had in Kibale (1N), Queen Elizabeth (2N), Bwindi (2N) and Lake Mburo (1N) did never feel like being budget accomodations (as stated in the itinerary) and were excellent, far more than we expected and nothing at all to complain about. Food was very good as well.
The optional tour in Kibale (Crater Lake) was very good. However, we would not go for the cultural tour in Bwindi again.
When time and money allows, we will definitely come back - hopefully again with William as guide :)

Wonderful trip thanks to them
It was a huge success to book our 8-day safari with them, they helped us from the first moment to have everything we needed for our trip, but the best part was yet to come and that was meeting our guide Derrick who is a fun, cheerful and He loves his job and shows it in every moment of the safari you spend with him. Without a doubt, the best thing we could choose was Home to Africa with Derrick!
Every second of this safari was truly wonderful!!

Perfect 11 day tour
I went on a 11 day tour around Uganda, with serveral nationalparks and of course chimpanses and gorillas.
Karim was a perfect guide and we had many interesting talks about the animals and Uganda.
Karim is also a very good driver and the lodges were also very nice.
If I come back to Uganda with my family I Will definetly go with Home to Africa and ask for Karim as my guide.

Very helpful, professional and friendly
We did an 8 day tour with Home to Africa. It was very easy to communicate with them and they were very forthcoming, helpful and reliable.
Our tour was a unique and once in a lifetime experience. It was very well organised, all the road trips were very smooth, the national parks and lodges were amazing and the hospitality was superb.

The Perfect Honeymoon- Highly Recommend Home to Africa and William :-)
My husband and I had the most incredible honeymoon in Uganda by booking a 6 Day African Safari and Gorilla Trekking with Home to Africa. Our guide, William, made it such a memorable experience for us. He arranged lots of surprises for us during the trip, with our accommodation decorated in petals, a celebratory honeymoon cake and a private candle lit dinner out in the trees; we truly could not have asked for anything more.
Every one of the lodges we visited were in the most amazing settings and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Uganda truly has the most beautiful scenery that either of us had ever seen. We were having such an amazing time on our tour that we asked William to extend it by one more day and I only wish we could have done more. My advice to anyone booking this would be to take more time at each of the lodges, as each of them have their own special qualities and there is so much to experience.
We were both very excited about the gorilla trekking and it still exceeded our expectations. Words cannot describe what it is like being up so close to these magnificent animals. I just wish we could do it all over again.
All of the nature and wildlife in Uganda is fantastic. As keen birders we were trying to find as many new species as we could on our trip and again William was a great help to us with this. His expertise coupled with the assistance of the knowledgeable staff at each location helped us see over 150 new species within a week. With over 1100 species in Uganda, anyone interested in birds will not be disappointed.
We both highly recommend this trip to anyone considering it and want to say one last massive thank you to William for giving us such a special and memorable honeymoon, with memories that we will treasure forever.

Professional, competent and available
I have just come back from a wonderful trip to Uganda with my son and we still have in our heart the wonderful sensations that the Pearl of Africa was able to give us. We experienced fascinating things like the Murchison Falls or the close encounter with chimpanzees in Kibale Forest, but the most exciting experience was definitely the visit to the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable. The hour spent in the company of these gentle cousins of ours is something we will never forget. To organize the trip we evaluated a whole series of local operators and in the end we decided to rely on Home to Africa Tours and Travel: a truly apt choice. The organization was perfect and the support provided to us by Hedmond was punctual and competent in suggesting us the most convenient itinerary and extremely helpful and patient in listening to and satisfying our every need. A Tour Operator that we absolutely recommend.
