Excellent service!
My partner and I went on a 6 day safari with Home to Africa Tours and Travel in September for chimp and gorilla trekking in Uganda. Elias was very prompt and efficient in communicating with me before and at the start of the trip, which was very much appreciated. Paul, our guide/driver, was very professional and knowledgable. He was especially knowledge about birds. Everything went very smoothly on the safari and we very much enjoyed our time with Home to Africa. We would definitely recommend it to family/friends travelling to Uganda and will contact them again if we are able to return to Uganda!

Excellent 7 days private safari: Clear recommendation!
I did a 7-day private Safari with Home to Africa and have been very pleased with the trip itself, the planning and communication beforehand and the value for money I received. Home to Africa has been very responsive, managed to organize my trip just one week before my arrival (including obtaining a permit for gorilla tracking) and have tailored my trip to my exact wishes. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Pick Home to Africa...You won't be sorry!
Thank you Home to Africa for an unforgettable first trip to Africa. We planned our trip around gorilla trekking and had no idea we would be seeing so much more of Rwanda and Uganda. It truly was a spectacular itinerary. Starting off in Rwanda, we were met at the airport by our guide Oscar who drove a safe and clean Toyota SUV. Oscar took great care of us, the Rwandan accomodations were perfect, and we highly recommend the Kigali Genocide memorial and the golden monkey trekking. After a few days, we were "handed over" to our guide Paul for our safari in Uganda. Paul was the quintessential host. He confidently navigated many long days of driving. He made sure we were settled in safely each night at our accomodations and welcomed us each morning with a smile and an organized itinerary. He never seemed rushed when we were spotting wildlife and birds and is quite the wildlife expert including birding. We even changed our plans for our last day which Paul accommodated happily. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to show us all the wonders of Uganda. We highly recommend gorilla trekking in Bwindi, the game drive in Queen Elizabeth, the game drive in Lake Mburo, and the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. And I can't end this review without mentioning Elias. Elias was by our side every step of the way from the initial online contact to our last day of our tour. Available for questions and concerns almost 24-7, Elias gave us the peace of mind we needed to sit back, relax, and enjoy our first trip to Africa. He chose wonderful accomodations that were authentic enough to give us an experience but equipped enough for our modern needs. He put together a comprehensive itinerary that allowed us to see almost every park and almost every animal that Uganda and Rwanda has to offer. And he made sure we knew who our guides were going to be ahead of time, ensuring us that we were going to be safe and in good hands. When considering the many safari company options, I implore you to consider Home to Africa. They truly are the best of the best!!
safari with pleasure
Before booking I contacted few travel agencies, I found Home to Africa were the quickest to reply and answer to all queries we had. from start Mr.Elias was very efficient and helpful in organizing our tour to the best one could expect. On arrival ,though i had arranged with the hotel for the pick up. we were surprised Home to Africa driver/guide Nasser waiting for us as well.
Nasser was an excellent , experienced, professional , knowledgeable person one would hope to have as an driver/guide. He did his best to show all the animals from very close range. Even though it was raining he made sure that we go and visit the waterfalls, which was amazing,.
thanks to all members of Home to Africa Tours .

Excellent Customized Uganda Tour
I had an incredible vacation with home to Africa tours. It was a last minute trip, so the three weeks leading up to my arrival, I had about 100 emails back and forth with Elias. he was able to accommodate every single one of my detailed requests. He always answered my emails/messages in a timely fashion, no matter the time of day. I did the chimpanzee and gorilla habituation and spread out my time in Uganda in 7 days. Elias recommended resorts to stay at in between the habituation experiences and they were beautiful. Paul was our driver and he was excellent - I can't say enough positive things about him. He was more than our driver/guide, he was our friend! He taught us so much and was such a gentleman.

A wonderful Ugandan and Wildlife experience
I've rated this organisation with 5 stars! That is not only because of the wonderful safaris we have done, but also the personal touch which they have. As there where problems with our arrival flights, we couldnt be there on the assigned day. The organisation was very flexible and it turned out that they adjusted a bit of our safari so that we could go relaxed on our holiday in Uganda. Besides the flexibilty this organisation has, the contact was also very fast and kind. Everytime I had a question they replied within the hour. Also when arrival they welcomed us with two people, one of them from the office and one guide. This welcome made us feel very welcomed and made the tour from the first second very good and personalised. The name of the guide we had was Paul, he was very kind and was very experienced. Not only he could answer a lot about the animals, but also a lot about the country itself. So 5 stars for the guide Paul aswell. As far as I can tell, most tour operators want to get as many tourists in a van, this results in a lack of a personal tour. With this tour I felt free to ask whatever I want and whenever I want. Besides the persons which made our tour very comfertable, the safaris itself were also very good organised. We had fun every day, the safaris were diverse and so we could enjoy everday with something new. We went daily on safaris, but in the resting time we were also able to see something from an Ugandan village, which made the Ugandan experience complete.
In a nutshell: a good and fast responding organisation. Good experienced tour guides. A great personal touch.

Excellent prompt support from initial enquiry to the execution of the tour and safari
Communications - From an initial enquiry,I had a whatapp call from Edward explaining his company and going through some of the tours they can tailor make to our requirements. The plan was changed several times by us to obtain the maximum usage of our time while we were visiting Uganda. Once agreed, we were informed about the progress of the booking. The progress of the booking was managed by Elias. Our driver/guide "dugu" Karim was excellent in planning our requirements. The challenges we gave him were taken care of without any issues and nothing was a problem for him. He took a great care for the whole party throughout the 2 weeks we spent with him. Karim was very knowledgeable and is great guide and fun to be with. We would highly recommend Home to Africa Tours to our friends and family and a big thank you to the whole team who supported us while we were on our travels. Finally it was topped up with an excellent time we had at a charity at Buwenge that is also supported by Home to Africa Tours.
