my new holiday destination
I visited Uganda with my husband and We had a wonderful time in Uganda! Thanks to Home To Africa Tours and Travel.
The trip and all the tours have been well organized. Our accommodations were much better than we had expected as well as the meals we could enjoy.
But much more important to us was a Guide Paul was knowledgeable and with vast experience. This was a deep and emotional experience. We never made it without him. We highly recommend Home To Africa Tours and Travel

a great company the best safari
Our trip to Uganda with Home To Africa Tours and Travel was great: We had a very nice guide, Paul, My wife was really thrilled as it was her first time in Africa. Paul told us a lot about the country and the people of Uganda. He was a very good driver, too. We tracked chimpanzees and gorillas – All the lodges suggested were awesome and meals were as we requested. The safari was worth the pay . Thank you Elias for the great work . We will surely return . We highly recommend this company to the next travellers .

Five days of well-organized fun
I've traveled in Africa before, but have never actually done a multi-day safari with a touring company, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when Paul (Sunshine) picked my sister and I up at our hotel in Kampala. We needn't have worried -- our tour with Paul was excellent, and I would recommend Home to Africa to anyone looking for a well-organized, fairly priced, and thoughtfully delivered trip.
The planning process (conducted solely via email) kept us well-informed, and Paul continued that during our trip, making sure we knew what to expect each day (e.g., lots of travel, or an early morning to get to the park at sunrise). Our activities were a lot of fun. Paul himself is a delight -- he offered interesting information about parts of Uganda and Ugandan culture during our long drives, and was incredible at spotting animals when we were in the park. The night before our gorilla trekking, Paul gave us a very good idea of what to expect the next morning.
The accommodations that Home to Africa selected for us were wonderful -- both the proprietors and other guests were friendly and kind. All in all, the trip exceeded my expectations.
Thank you to Edward, Elias, and especially Paul for making our trip memorable for all the right reasons. :)

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
