Excellent service, knowledgeable guide
We did a 6-day tour with Home to Africa and our wonderful guide William, from Lake Mburo via Queen Elizabeth National Park (with chimp trekking), Bwindi Impenetrable NP for gorilla trekking and lake Bunyonyi for our last night before returning to Kampala.
They were very accommodating from the beginning and really tried to take our backpacker's budget into consideration. We did the"budget" tour and stayed in some of the most comfortable and beautiful places of our entire year-long trip. The food was great and portions were generous, we were never hungry.
We had some issues with our permits (admin wise) and William handled it all with professionalism, making sure our experience wasn't affected. We also had communication from Hedmond at the office apologising for the inconvenience.
William was also an excellent guide and driver. He shared his knowledge of the wildlife and culture with us with enthusiasm and passion which was extremely appreciated.
I also thought the itinerary was really well thought, it felt like a build up with the gorillas being the grand finale.
Highly recommend Home to Africa, it was very good value for money compared to other companies.

A Trip of a Lifetime and Wonderful Experience
What an experience, Derrick our tour guide and driver was absolutely amazing, Hedmond in the Home to Africa office was equally as amazing.
After a disastrous start to out holiday, caused by the airline not Home to Africa, we found ourselves stranded in Kigali after RwandAir had changed the flight times after take off, causing us to miss the connecting flight and the first day of our holiday.
We contacted Hedmond at Home to Africa who video called to assist with our dilemma, Derrick was in the office and we had a chance to introduce ourselves, this made me feel very comfortable as now I knew who to look out for when we arrived at Entebbe airport.
Derrick was informative, friendly and had excellent knowledge of the wildlife, culture and the extremely friendly Ugandans that we met on our trip.
The accommodations were comfortable and clean. Staff at the Irungu Forest Safari Lodge and the Ride 4 a Woman Lodge were very helpful and made us feel like family.
I highly recommend Home to Africa for any future trips to East Africa and would definitely use the company again.
Thank you to Hedmond and Derrick

Excellent service from an amazing company, with incredible communication from the outset
Our safari was customised, by Home to Africa Tours and Travel, to suit our requirement of both Gorilla Trekking and Chimpanzee tracking. After arriving very late due airline problems (nothing to do with Home to Africa}, Hedmond and Derrick went well out of their way to ensure that we had a very good holiday, missing very little of our original itinery. They organised a very nice hotel for u sat a reasonable cost when we were a little stranded in the wrong place. Derrick our driver/guide was excellent, he was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We had an amazing holiday after a disastrous start, thanks to Home for Africa. We were never left wondering what was happening as Derrick kept us well informed and when possible gave us choices. Gorilla Trekking was incredible and although I am not the fittest person with help from porters was able to make it to see I would not hesitate to use this company again.

The trip was incredible, from the acommodations, to the itinerary, to transportation, to our guide.
We couldn't have chosen a better company to organize our Ugandans trip with. From the begging, Home to Africa´s staff was very attentive and allowed us to organize our trip according to our preferences and budget. Everything was incredible, from the accommodations, to the itinerary, to the transportation. And of course, we can´t not mention our amazing guide, Brian. Extremely careful, attentive, patient and always worried that everything with our trip was allright. We are beyond thankful for the opportunity of knowing Uganda and its people. We were amazed by the country and the kindness of Ugandans and we hope that this was the first of many visits.
