The trip of a lifetime!
We just returned from the 10 Day Epic Gorilla & Wildlife Safari and it was just wonderful. Uganda had all the activities we wished for and Home To Africa Tours & Travel had an affordable itinerary that did not disappoint. Elias and Paul met us at the airport and made sure we were looked after and comfortable for the entire trip. Paul is an excellent and knowledgeable guide and very good at spotting animals. We saw the big five animals and so many more and enjoyed multiple game drives and boat rides. Each of the five national parks we visited had their own atmosphere and attributes and we loved them all. This itinerary required many hours of road travel but there was so much to see while riding through the countryside. It was endlessly interesting to see the trading centers, homes, people, and especially the friendly children of Uganda. We particularly enjoyed the game drives and were amazed at all the animal sightings. Our lodgings were comfortable with good food and we did not have to worry about a thing as Paul is an experienced guide and led us along on a trip we will never forget. Home To Africa Tours arranged the next leg of our trip to Victoria Falls which was a sight to see and those plans all fell into place without a hitch. My mind is still so full from all the things I learned on this trip and I have over 300 photos to enjoy. If you want to go on an African Safari complete with a chimpanzee and gorilla trek, go to Uganda. If you want a tour that caters to your interests and comforts and is affordable, choose Home To Africa Tours and Travel. We had an excellent experience!

Fantastic trip.
I had a great trip to Uganda, and I am happy to have been traveling with Home to Africa. Got many good photos of the many beautiful animals that can be found in Uganda, the gorilla tracking was a fantastic experience and I will definitely do it again.

Up close and personal escribes the incredible experience we had on River Nile and on saffari .
Our group of university students were thrilled to learn that we would not only visit Uganda but also spend 3 days viewing the Murchison Falls national park and see all the wonderful animals, birds and natural environment of that location. Our experience with the staff and drivers from Home to Africa Tours and Travel was outstanding. They accommodated our travel needs and did so with great courtesy. Having traveled in Uganda multiple times, I appreciated their careful safe driving and comfortable vehicles. We will surely return to them to book future trips!

Helpfull and friendly
We booked our safari with Home to Africa Tours and Safari and Elias. Elias was the master planner and did an excellent job in planning, changing and rearranging our trip to give us the best safari and fulfill our wishes. Elias kept contact with us either in person or via our guide through out our vacation making sure we were satisfied. Our vacation in Uganda is one of our best vacations ever.

Excellent service, great value
My experience with Home to Africa was fantastic, I didn't have to plan or do anything. After I booked the trip, everything was taken care of. My guide Karim did a great job. Thank you for the experience

Wonderful trip to Uganda, the "Pearl of Africa"!
We had an absolutely fabulous experience with Home To Africa Tours. Edward and Elias were extremely helpful in arranging the tour and their communication was excellent. They even went out of their way to secure a bag from the airport that was misplaced by our US airline. I can't say enough about how helpful they were. For the tour, we had a private guided tour for 3 persons. We visited Queen Elizabeth Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Our guide, Paul, was outstanding!!! His knowledge of the parks, the wildlife (especially birds) and the local culture was fantastic. We had a great time on our trip and would love to see other parts of Uganda - it is such a beautiful country. I highly recommend Home To Africa Tours and their wonderful staff.

Excellent, responsive, on time, polite and extremely knowledgeable guides.
Communication was perfect. They responded positively to a number of last minute changes we had to make. Introduced our group to the wonders of wild life in Uganda. Every member loved our guides: Paul and Abdul.

We did the lot! Well planned and well delivered Safari experience!
We were greeted at Entebbe airport and from there we knew that we were going to be in safe hands with our guide Moses. We travelled across 5 of the National Parks over 12 days, which was a lot of travelling but totally worth it. We started our Safari at Murchison National Park, enjoyed all of the wildlife including seeing the stunning falls and a Leopard! We then travelled South to Kibale Forest, due to a unavoidable diversion the journey took longer than originally planned so we arrived in the dark at Chimps Nest which wasn't ideal as the showers were outside but the food was great and had good conversation with other guests that evening so just one of those things. The next day we did the Chimp trekking in to the forest and it was so incredible to see a whole family of Chimpanzees come down from the trees and join us. We then travelled further south again and stopped at Queen Elizabeth National Park, from the lodge we stayed at we could see and hear the Hippo in the river below. In this National Park we finally were able to see the King of the Cats a pair of Lions and then separately in Ishasha a Lioness climbing in a tree! Our next stop was Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the hospitality of staff here at Trekkers Tavern was so wonderful and it truly was the highlight of the trip to see Gorillas and spend over an hour with a group of 12 of them. It was a real moment in life to treasure. Our final National Park that we went to was Lake Mburu National Park were we were nearly scared by a cheeky monkey trying to jump in to the car (fortunately only nearly!) It was also lovely that we were able to stop for a while to see some friends of our in Lukaya on our way back towards Kampala. We also managed to then have a day trip to Jinja which was nice to see including one of the sources of the Nile!

friendly, knowledgable, and professional
My sister and I booked a five-day safari with Home to Africa, starting and ending in Kampala with visits to Queen Elizabeth Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. We had a wonderful time getting to know the country of Uganda and I would recommend Home to Africa to anyone without hesitation.
* prior to our arrival, the office staff customized our trip and helped to meet our lodging preferences
* our driver and guide, Paul (Sunshine!), is an encyclopedia of knowledge, an excellent driver, and knows how much information to provide - and when - to properly prepare guests for the next adventure
* communication before, during and after the safari was efficient and comprehensive
* the pricing was competitive
Thank you to Paul, Edward and all the Home to Africa staff for a fantastic safari experience. I hope that we get to come back for another one!
