Most Amazing Trip!
I'm a "senior" female and traveled solo from the west coast of the US to Rwanda and Uganda. Home to Africa was with me every step of the way, from the excellent email communication for almost a year before my trip to my two knowledgeable, competent and smiling drivers. I felt safe everywhere I went. Lodges were charming, activities better than described, lots of little "extras" along the way I didn't expect, and the food delicious at every stop. I had checked out several other tour companies (and had to cancel three trips during covid). This was by far the most economical and in-depth trip I'd researched. They tailer-made my itinerary to suit all my requests. I saw gorillas twice (once in Rwanda for 1 hr. with a gorilla family, and a rather grueling 4-hr. Habituation Experience in Uganda...a trip of a lifetime, but not for the novice trekker as we bushwhacked through the jungle!). Those experiences are now seared on my brain. I saw chimps, golden monkeys, went to several national parks including Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls, did boat rides including a Nile River cruise (with colorful birds, hippos and crocs), walked up to once-extinct rhinos in Uganda (now there are 33!) at the beautiful Kiwa sanctuary, saw amazing wildlife (the big 5!), had several cultural experiences including the new Dian Fossey Museum, met locals and watched them craft coffee, banana beer, weaving, sewing, etc. My driver even made a special planned stop along the way to visit a special school I wanted to see. Kudos to Hedmond, Baptiste and Vianney for such a smooth experience! It's one I'll never forget!

Seamless once-in-a-lifetime trip
Our experience with Home to Africa's 7-day Rwanda and Uganda tour was incredible. Prior to travel the team was responsive to all inquiries and opportunities to customize our experience. Once our tour started, both our guides Alex and Derrick were knowledgable, friendly, accommodating, and excellent at spotting wildlife. Everything was fully planned and thought out on our behalves so all we had to do was wake up on time and get good pictures. I highly recommend booking with this group!

Home to Africa is the best choice ....
I never write reviews, which is funny because I read all of them. HOME TO AFRICE delivered more then a trip of a life time. We made life long friendships. We booked Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda. Everything was taken care and we where left not wanting to anything. We did the habituation trek in Uganda. It was the most challenging adventure of my life and worth every moment. The trek in Rwanda was complete different. The trek in Rwanda was not as difficult (thank goodness). I'm so happy we did both of them because of the chance to have 2 complete different experience's. Uganda was more trees and dark. Rwanda was more lush and green.
Karim Walugembe was our Uganda Safari guide. We were with him for 5 wonderful day. Karim is there head safari guide in Uganda and has been a guide for 15 yrs. We had so many good fortunes on our trip (good weather even though its rainy season, lodges to our selves, amazing food). The best fortune was getting Karim as our guide. He has years of knowledge and knowhow. I feel very strongly that the wrong guide could make or break your safari. Karim did more then make our trip, he left me with life long memories people can only hope to dream about. Bosco was our Rwanda guide. we were with him for 2 days. He did a great job as well. We are already planning our next trip back.
Great tour operator for discovering Uganda, the pearl of Africa, book with them without hesitation
First, we wanted to visit Rwanda mainly for mountain Gorillas , but we change our mind when we saw the price of the permit !!!
And then , the opportunity became Uganda ,half the price !
We were not disapointed at all ! The country is so beautiful , with landscapes changing colors from the green of the mountains, the yellow of the savanah, the blue of the numerous lakes, and the lodges always situated in beautiful places with breathtaking views.
With our guide Balam , that i have to say is an important part of the success of our journey , we saw all the animals we do not know that we could see, in different national parks, the big five, lions on the trees, leopards, chimpanzés , so many beautiful coloured birds singing the whole day, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and so good vegetarian food and fruits
People of Uganda is so welcoming and i have to say that we love all the kids we met
We visited many countries in Africa , made so many safaris ,saw many animals, but we do not imagine all Uganda has to offer !!!
And last but not least, the encounter with mountain gorillas, the main reason of coming to Uganda, the pearl of Africa ,was so amazing, uncredible, that we will never forget it !
Thanks so much to Hedmond who was communicating with us at all times, to all the team of Home2Africa , and to Balam "Buffalo soldier", our driver and guide ,for his kindness , his knowledge, we were so happy to share all these moments with him, and miss his every day "african massages" so much !!!Ask for him !! Merci beaucoup Balam-Olivier !
Do not hesitate, visit this beautiful country, but do it with Home2Africa, the value for money is great !!!!

Great safari
We spent 3 days in Rwanda and trekked to see chimps and golden monkeys, then spent 10 days in Uganda, where we trekked to chimps and gorillas and did a week of safari. The wildlife was awesome, and Derrick, our guide/driver in Uganda is the best of the best in finding wildlife and driving on often difficult roads. In addition, he’s engaging, knowledgeable and an all around pleasure to travel with. It was an exciting, fun and memorable trip.

Client-oriented and experienced tour operator worth every penny
I was a bit hesitant to book a safari with a foreign african company, however booking with Home To Africa was a great decision.
They respond quickly, even during the night. They answer all of your questions tirelessly, explain, help plan, provide itinerary in advance.
The safari and adventure itself was 10/10 and every single thing we aimed to experience was delivered. Home To Africe took a great care of us and our guide KARIM was one of the best guides I have ever worked with. He was extremely helpful, curteous, knowledgeable, kind and made our wishes come true.
This adventure is definitely worth your time and money, Home To Africa is a proper company that is client-oriented and Karim was number 1.
We visited Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania and I cannot recommend more.
Do not hesitate!

Everything was simply perfect!
I contacted the agency mid 2022 and the program they provided was great, so I packed and went to my safari on Jan/23 and it was a great experience! My guide Karim was very friendly, and was able to explain everything for me in a very clear way!
Accomodations were excellent, I chose mid range ones, and some looked like a high end!
Food was also great! The schedule was perfect, was able to see all animals I wanted to see, jeep was good, the tours were perfect!
Totally recommend it!!

Wonderful time in Uganda
Solo traveler - Communication from the start was excellent , extremely fast in response and detailed plan of what the tour will be and what I should I expect from it. I did change the plan couple of time and they were very accommodating. My tour guide Brian was brilliant ! always showed up on time , answered any questions I had ( I asked alot) , funny and made sure every picture I wanted to take was taken . my experience wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for Brian.
if you are considering visiting Uganda use Home to Africa and ask for Brian !
