Exciting, satisfying, and worth it!
5/5

My wife and i took Home to Africa’s 4-Day Short Vacation to Uganda - Gorilla Trekking Bwindi.

The tour exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were lovely.

Zed our guide was very helpful, informative and funny. He was very animated and always makes sure that the long drives were lively.

The gorilla trek was exhilarating (even with the challenging hike up, haha). Seeing the gorillas up close is really a once in a lifetime experience.

Way beyond my expectations! 5 Star!
5/5

If you ever booked a trip through international travel agent, you know that the first day equals to arrival, the last day equals to departure, a 13-day trip will leave you 11 days. But this is not the case for this local travel agent Home To Africa Tours and Travel: I was picked up in the early morning on day 1 from Kigali airport in Rwanda, driven entire day to Nyungwe Forest National Park. The next morning, my guide Theo picked me up at 4am from the hotel, drove to the National Park for Chimpanzee Trekking. In the next few days, I hiked to 12,000 ft Mount Bisoke, did Golden Monkey trekking. Then I was transferred to Uganda, started 8-day safari in this Pearl of Africa.

I have done many safaris in other part of Africa, like Tanzania, Namibia and South Africa, but the safari experience in Uganda was way beyond my expectations: I saw almost all kinds of wild animals, and so many of them, even including the very illusive leopard with twin babies 2 meters away! These could happen all because of my guide William from Home To Africa Tours and Travel, he cherished my time even more than me: we were the first left the safari lodge every morning and the last left the National Park, so we could encounter so many amazing animals in the early hours and late hours of the day.

William did not want me to have any regret before leaving his country: after knowing that I did not have the luck to see chimps in Rwanda, he rearranged a Chimpanzee Trekking in Uganda for me. With a local guide and only myself, I had the chance to see more than 20 chimps in the family of 58, including many playful babies and juveniles! I could not say enough Thank You to William!

On the last day of my 13-day safari in Rwanda/Uganda, we needed to drive 7 hours to airport to catch my flight at 6pm, they still fit me in with one-hour Rhino Trekking, I was lucky enough to see baby Rhino suckling!

Not only the guides, the staff at Home To Africa Tours and Travel were extremely helpful too, they provided me all the detailed information, answered my question literally in a few minutes—then I realized sometimes it was already past their midnight—I felt guilty and started to think about their time before emailing questions.

Anyway, this was my best safari experience ever! Highly recommended.

Great safari
5/5

I had a great time on the safari. Home to Africa arranged a great 5-day gorilla safari tour for me. They did not just follow my own instructions on what I wanted to see but they also had some good suggestions for my time in Uganda. Together we combined it into a great tour. The accommodation during the safari was perfect and the tours that were arranged were fabulous. We were never in a hurry and even during the day I could ask about things I wanted to see or do. Also everywhere we went the people were friendly. Paul, my guide during the safari, knew a lot about Uganda, Eastern Africa, animals, culture and history. That made my experience complete!

The driver+guide are professional, and nice hotel choice
4/5

I found that the guide are so friendly and have a really professional service mind. Karim gave us so many information about safari animals and other thing too. For the hotels, the staffs in every hotel are really nice and kind. The hotel are clean and nice. Hotel food are fine too. I feel like this is quite beyond my expectation. Only some facilities in the hotel like warm water and electricity there are not the best but acceptable since they are in the park.

Truly an amazing, unforgettable experience.
5/5

There were no issues from the time we met our amazing guide Paul until we said our sad good-byes.
He was fun and knowledgeable and very passionate about his country. Each experience was wonderful however the highlight was definitely the Gorilla Tracking and viewing. Breathtaking and extremely memorable. I really don't have words to describe beyond unbelievable!

Excellent service and speedy arrangement on a short notice
5/5

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!
