Awsome 8-day-Safari in Uganda
This tour really surpasses our expectations of Uganda. This country is definitely the pearl of Africa.
Organization:
From the first contact to the drop-off at the airport, every detail was well organized by Elias, the owner of Home To Africa and Karim, our guide. We had a very nice call with Carina, the German Customer relations manager of Home To Africa. All of them did a great job and made our trip truly amazing.
Uganda:
This country is very friendly and safe in our opinion. People were very helpful and grateful, that people come to visit their country. Children waving on the streets. No one tries to scam tourists. We fell in love with Uganda and its natural beauty.
Tour:
Hot savannah in the north. Cold mountain forests in the south. The tour covers almost the whole diversity of Uganda. Our highlights were the gorillas of the mist in Bwindi, the chimpanzees of Kibale and Murchison Falls national park wildlife.
Food and Drinks:
We enjoyed a full board service during our trip – breakfast and dinner in the lodges and lunch as a picnic in the national parks.
Lodges:
We had different standards ranging from comfort to luxury – but all were amazing in their own way. Some convinced with their food, some with exceptional service, others with breathtaking locations. We would return to every single one.
Guide:
Karim was like a father to us. He made us feel comfortably during the whole tour and made us familiar with Uganda´s culture, food, landscapes and wildlife. Karim was the reason, why we fell in love with this country so much. At the end of our trip we, felt like a little family.
Conclusion:
This tour is highly recommendable and perfect to get to know the Pearl of Africa. Home To Africa is an amazing tour operator and showed us, that Uganda has a lot more to offer than only its gorillas.

Custom tour that fulfilled expectation and beyond!
Professional, personal and extremely well curated according to budget. We came to Hone to Africa looking for a mid-range expense private tour of Uganda and Tanzania for 9-days. Elias put together an itinerary that enabled us to see everything we wanted and more, in an instant, with pricing that was under budget and accomodation options that were really nice and quite unique. It almost seemed too good to be true. But Home to Africa delivered even more once the safari began. Karim was our guide, an ex-history teacher and animal enthusiast, we got to know uganda better than an encyclopaedia with him. He was amazing, informative, very well organised, kept us informed of our movements and simply made the trip a joy. Elias kept in constant contact to ensure we were travelling well too. I was expecting good for the budget we had booked on, but we got AAA excellent. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and speedy arrangement on a short notice
Me and my friend decided to utilize long weekend just a week prior and she suggested to go to Uganda for gorilla trekking.
Quick search online for the best local provider and tour operator and we were convinced with excellent reviews and program that we dreamed off provided by Home to Africa. They haven't disappointed a bit!
Quick professional response with the accurate questions to tailor make our trip up to our expectations. Even last minute change of lodges due to full capacity was the lucky one and the changed location was breath taking.
We asked for knowledgeable and funny tour guide to accompany us these 3 days. Even this request was attended above expectation. Benon is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and the friendship strike right upon arrival.
Company offered pick up from airport and drop of to our hotel in Entebbe that was in fact out of the agreed tour package. And Benon waited in the hotel till we checked in and he left only when sure that we are safe.
Great job and big thank you to all team, especially Benon, Ywone and Elias.
We will come back!

The five star reviews are well deserved.
From the initial online contact, evening flight arrival to the tour that followed, every detail was looked after and Home To Africa provided the African experience I was hoping for. Derrick was my guide and he is an enthusiastic wildlife expert who is determined to show you as many creatures as possible and we covered a lot of ground and had a lot of laughs. Visited five national parks, the rhino sanctuary and the Entebbe botanical gardens on Lake Victoria. A few of the lodges were actually luxurious and the settings are tremendous. Endless vistas and rare animals abound.

Life time experience.
It all began like a joke when i was searching for a safari to africa. Was scared because it was my first time to visit Africa. I am happy that i felt at Home when i was with Home To Africa Tours and Travel. My guide Karim was great and full of ideas. He is a great driver
I can not forget Elias for his instant replies.
I will recommend this company to my friends.
Efficient and very friendly
Well before we came to Ugadan we already had a safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania , so the attractive part of Ugadan should be the chimpanzee and gorilla bwindi mountain tracking, we enjoyed our days here but the lunch box prepared by the lodge was terrible and not even fresh some food was overnight leftover , so please feedback to them because the client will have stomach upset after having those food , staffs are very helpful and polite all the accommodation arrangement was acceptable and the service of our tour guide was excellent .he was a great guide and experienced but only thing that wakes up too early for us every day and at 5.30 am and too tired after three weeks traveling the rest were perfect thanks

Derrick was extremely proficient and knowledge about our trip and was very helpful.
As my dad organised the bulk of the trip, his review is more relevant.

Super company!
Great experience with this company. From the start it was well organised. The booking was easy, the itinerary had to be swapped around as they couldn’t get passes for the gorillas so we ended up doing the route backwards to everyone else but we felt this was actually better!
Upon arrival Derick our guide was ready and waiting. He was superb the whole trip. Super helpful, knowledgable about the wildlife but also a good laugh! There is a bit of driving involved and you need that banter to make the drives more enjoyable.
Can not fault the company. Even though we had a mechanical issue with the car one day a solution was found quickly and we didn’t miss out on anything.

Outstanding service
Everything since the first contact was very clear and straightforward. Quick responses and very kind service.
During the safari, everything was very well taken care of and my guide was just amazing. He did everything to make sure my experience was the best.
The accommodations were just beautiful and comfortable (except for one of them) and food was delicious. Their staff and service was always beyond amazing.
All the activities and game drives were well organized
I would absolutely recommend Home to Africa :)
