As good as it gets!
Communication was excellent from the first to the last email. Our guide Gunn is a super driver and a good spotter of animals. We had no problems whatsoever during our tour of 12 days. Nice lodges and wonderful places we visited. We would definitely book through this tour operator again.

Professional service made the trip go smooth and give me an even better experience than I hoped for.
Very good communication with Home to Africa from booking to the end of the trip! I had a very good guide with knowledge about everything I wanted to know.

Derrick was AMAZING, fun, knowledgeable and professional
From the beginning when booking our tour the communication was exceptional and seamless. All information you need was provided and if you had any additional questions their speed at replying was next to none. We booked the 5-Day Wildlife Sighting Trip to Uganda Including Gorilla Trekking for our Honeymoon and it was a truely magical and breathtaking experience. Every accommodation we stayed at went above and beyond (thanks to Derrick letting them know it was our honeymoon), hot water, food, staff, all were amazing. The safaris were amazing thanks to our guide Derrick going above and beyond. It was awesome and would 100% recommend using this company - value for money and was great to just be my husband and myself. It’s a once in a lifetime experience!

Professionalism and competence
It was a very rewarding and fantastic tour with Home to Africa. Everything was extremely well organised, and both drivers/guides, Emir in Rwanda and Vianney in Uganda are very knowledgeable, communicative, professional and above all, very friendly and nice. They made the whole trip even more pleasant. It was a wonderful travel, and for sure I will get in contact with Home To Africa again the next time I will travel to Eastern Africa. Thanks!

Amazing 10 Day Safari Tour
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Home To Africa on our 10 day Big 5 Safari tour. Derrick our driver and guide was incredible and made us feel welcome to Uganda right when we arrived and went out of his way to make sure every part of our tour went smoothly and stress-free. You could tell right away Derrick was very experienced, well known around the accommodations and national parks and extremely knowledgeable with the animals, primates and birds in Uganda. Any questions we had he knew the answers to and would even provide additional information. We were fortunate enough to see everything we wanted to see on our Safaris and can confidently say Derrick had a large part of it based on his experience and knowledge of the parks. He was always on the lookout for wildlife even when we weren't in the parks and spotted a Shoebill off the side of the road on our way back to Entebbe. The Home To Africa tour was well planned out, accommodations were great with a variety of different types of stays (glamping, treehouse, lake cabin, etc). The food provided and locations chosen for meals were great and had variety. Overall, I would highly recommend Home To Africa not only for the amazing tours but also for the value.

The trip of a lifetime
Our tour of Uganda was incredible, thanks to our wonderful guide, Derrick. The booking process was easy, and the tour itself was perfect. Some busy days, some relaxing days, and the right amount of activity and excursions. It was nice to tailor make the package to suit our schedule. Derrick knew so much about the animals and about Uganda. It was clear that his goal was to make our experience the very best that it could be. Our time was incredible and we saw so many animals, including the big 5. Top notch service. All of the accommodations were lovely and clean and had delicious meals. The car was comfortable and great for the game drives. Would 100% recommend this tour company.

Trip of a lifetime!
We had an amazing 10 day trip with Karim. We spent time in Murchison Falls (our favorite), trekked the chimps and gorillas-loved them both! Did a couple of boat rides-both amazing! The staff at all accommodations were very friendly and welcoming. We loved hearing Karim teach us about his home country-Uganda. Overall, a great trio and ask for Karim to be your guide.

Great tour operator and guides, they provided everything they promised and more
After extensive research we booked a custom two-week tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Home to Africa. We have been to Africa many times, including a number of self-driving trips, but decided that it made more sense to do a guided tour.
Happily, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Home to Africa. Everything was well-organized, the driver/guides were great and the accommodations were first rate, even though this was billed as a budget/mid-range trip.
Our trip started in Kigali, Rwanda, where we were picked up at the airport by our driver, Ben. The next day we made the long drive to Nyungwe National Park. The following day we did the chimp tracking. Unfortunately, Joanne fell and hurt her wrist, so Ben took us to a hospital to get an X-ray. Apparently, it was not broken, but did prevent us from doing the next day's long hike up Mt. Bisoke. Ben was great in coming up with alternative activities for the day, at no additional cost, so the day was not wasted.
After we visited the golden monkeys (well worth it), Ben drove us to the border of Uganda where we were waved through without even having to show our passports. We met Eli, our new driver, and transferred our luggage. In Uganda they drive on the left, whereas in Rwanda it's on the right.
In Uganda we did many of the popular activities, beginning with the mandatory gorilla tracking in Bwindi and including Queen Elizabeth NP, the Kazinga Channel, Kibale Forest, Murchison Falls NP and the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. All were very worthwhile and each lodge seemed better than the one before. On the last evening Eli arranged for a birthday cake to be delivered to our table for Joanne's birthday, complete with sparklers and the staff singing Happy Birthday. What a thoughtful surprise.
Thanks to everyone at Home to Africa for a great trip.
Well organised, tailored tour
We (3 people) organised a 8-day tour of Uganda. Home to Africa was very responsive in the planning phase, and the journey was adapted to our requests. We faced a small problem at our arrival in Entebbe, as due to a miscommunication our driver arrived late, but we managed to contact the agency and fix the problem. Our guide driver, Benon, was absolutely perfect. He has a genuine love for nature and animals, and doing game drives with him has been fantastic. His driving is very good. Also the accommodations chosen by the company were very satisfactory. We can warmly recommend them, and in particular, Benon.
