With fantastic guides and hospitable accommodations, we enjoyed every moment touring Uganda!
When my sister and I wanted to book a last minute safari (literally a month before), this safari company was more than willing to help us and host us for six days. They are extremely well organized, and they took care of all plans for the safari to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi, including our gorilla licenses for tracking, accommodation, all food, all transport to and from the airport and different parks. They are also staffed with the nicest team members. Our personal guide John was amazing, driving us from location to location, describing the landscape and history of the country and its contents, and making sure we were happy and satisfied during our six day excursion.
My sister and I particularly enjoy being active, and although a large part of the safari is in the car, John made sure that we were able to walk around or stand up through the sun roof on game drives in order to appease us! When we said we loved getting up early to watch the beautiful sunrise, he made sure that we did it the next day as well, and because he is an expert safari tracker, we got to see lions that morning as well.
The places we stayed were lovely and quaint with fantastic food, but what made the experiences were the staff at each lodge. They made us tea and made sure we had everything we needed to have a more than comfortable night.
Overall, the safari company surpassed our expectations, as did the activities. Tracking both chimps and gorillas was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and Uganda has such beautiful scenery and wildlife that I was never bored even being in the car for six hours. Home to Africa truly showed us that Uganda is the pearl of Africa.

6-Day Safari Chimp, Gorilla Trekking and Big Game Combo
excellent planning, we have get best service and all what was agreed in the itinerary was received and more. The most important think is the family feeling during the whole trip. Nasser our guide was so helpful and supportive. We have had best game drives. All his recommendations were excellent.
The car condition and cleanliness were excellent. Chosen accommodations were perfect, clean and very comfortable. All food during trip was very nice. All options were available.

An amazing experience with a wonderful team
Our 9 night tour of Uganda was an experience we will never forget. Prior to arriving Elias and his team were always available to answer any questions and adjust things to make our tour perfect for us. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and were super surprised when we were taken to H to A office on arrival and presented with a beautiful cake to make the occasion.
Chris , our driver/guide was excellent and even when we had a flat tyre 2 days in a row , he stepped up to minimize the impact on us and our plans. He was very knowledgable and a great person to travel with.
We also had a Kenya visit organized through H to A and this worked out seamlessly as well. Although it was a different company , they were well informed and offered great service.

Unforgettable Experience
We did a 12 days safari. Karim was our driver and guide. And the whole trip was a success and an unforgettable experience. The organization and time scheduling was perfect. Everything worked out as planed and promised in the itinerary. It was our first trip to Africa and before we didn't really know what to expect. Our driver and guide Karim took very good care of us. We felt very safe the whole time. Even more important we learned so many things about the country, animals, plants, daily living and the people. It was like having a living encyclopedia traveling along with you which you can ask when ever you have a question or wonder about certain things. These background information, stories and sayings made the things we saw/experienced even more beautiful or understandable. Furthermore we noticed that Karim was very well connected with people and authorities.
To sum it all up, I would recommend Home to Africa 100% and especially Karim to experience Uganda.

Unforgettable Experience
Ahmed and I booked with Home to Africa to travel across Uganda. With so many operators it was hard to know who to choose. Home to Africa offered a personal family feel and are entirely a local business. We totally loved our experience. It was organised so well by Elias who kept in touch all the time, providing updates and information. Our guide Nasser was amazing. He gave us truly an unforgettable safari. Gorilla trekking was fantastic and Queen Elizabeth park will always remain in our mind. Food and accommodation were spot on and completely suited our needs. We are already planning our next trip back.

can’t in one sentence
Service: my tour guide, Karim, was terrific.. he absolutely became my friend.. and took terrific care of me to be sure everything was perfect as far as he was concerned! Above and beyond!
Home to Africa: disappointed in the stupid and ridiculous flight they booked me on to come home.. I had basically NOTHING to do in Entebbe for 30 plus hours /. I should have been on a one day earlier flight
And to tell me, the travel department thought I needed a day to rest.. that should have been my call especially since there is NOTHING to do in Entebbe.. the owner said he would check on why that happened.. still awaiting that response , even though that is 30 hours totally wasted and lost
It’s things like that that aren’t properly executed to leave a bad feeling

Best experience in my life!!
I spent almost 4 months in Uganda for work and I took the opportunity to visit this magnificent country in free moments. I immediately entrusted Elias and his staff and I have to say that I could not make a better choice.
Having also known other companies operating in Uganda I must say that Home to Africa is unrivaled.
We stayed at Murchison Park, in Jinja, Lake Mburo and ssipi falls and in each of these adventures we always found impeccable service. Everything is organized down to the smallest detail and even any contingencies are managed in the best way.
Elias and his staff are super nice and very available, and you immediately notice that they are driven by a great passion for their work.
The accommodations are the top that you can find in Uganda in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
I must say that I was really excited about how everything was organized and that for 4 months they really made me feel at home in a magnificent country.
I recommend it to everyone and especially to those who want to relax and enjoy nature without having to think about anything.

A fantastic experience from start to finish
My first contact with Home to Africa was a phonecall from Elias in response to my email enquiry. From then on, his responses to questions and itinerary changes were always fast and positive. Our safari was 2 weeks for 4 people, and I have nothing but good things to say. The organisation was perfect, the hotels chosen for us were fantastic, the vehicle comfortable and suitable for the conditions, and the guide/driver unbelievable! Paul is an excellent and safe driver, his ability to find animals and position the car for the photography, and his exceptional love of birds made our trip absolutely perfect. He enjoys his job and the wildlife so much that it added to our enjoyment and wonder of this fabulous country. There was a highlight every day, and he did his best to make our trip a very memorable event. So, my sincere thanks to Paul and Elias for making all our dreams of Uganda a reality.

Awesome
I loved my 15 day Ugandan holiday, the country was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined. This was my third trip to Africa so I knew what I wanted and I also knew that Australian companies could not supply it for me. All my enquiries were promptly answered by Elias during the planning stage. My tour was designed for me and included 2 gorilla treks in different sectors which were amazing! My guide Karim did every thing to ensure my holiday was perfect. As a solo female traveler I was a bit apprehensive about a one on one tour, but from the moment we met at Entebbe airport, we started a fabulous adventure. Karim shared my love of photography and gave me every opportunity to capture all the pics I wanted.
Thanks so much Home to Africa, I will see you again
