A once in a lifetime experience
As a family, best vacation ever. Home to Africa arranged a perfect trip for us. Extremely professional service, a wonderful guide (Derrek) and very good price for what you get. Go to Uganda and we can strongly recommend Home to Africa.

A fantastic experience from start to finish
My first contact with Home to Africa was a phonecall from Elias in response to my email enquiry. From then on, his responses to questions and itinerary changes were always fast and positive. Our safari was 2 weeks for 4 people, and I have nothing but good things to say. The organisation was perfect, the hotels chosen for us were fantastic, the vehicle comfortable and suitable for the conditions, and the guide/driver unbelievable! Paul is an excellent and safe driver, his ability to find animals and position the car for the photography, and his exceptional love of birds made our trip absolutely perfect. He enjoys his job and the wildlife so much that it added to our enjoyment and wonder of this fabulous country. There was a highlight every day, and he did his best to make our trip a very memorable event. So, my sincere thanks to Paul and Elias for making all our dreams of Uganda a reality.

Best experience in my life!!
I spent almost 4 months in Uganda for work and I took the opportunity to visit this magnificent country in free moments. I immediately entrusted Elias and his staff and I have to say that I could not make a better choice.
Having also known other companies operating in Uganda I must say that Home to Africa is unrivaled.
We stayed at Murchison Park, in Jinja, Lake Mburo and ssipi falls and in each of these adventures we always found impeccable service. Everything is organized down to the smallest detail and even any contingencies are managed in the best way.
Elias and his staff are super nice and very available, and you immediately notice that they are driven by a great passion for their work.
The accommodations are the top that you can find in Uganda in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
I must say that I was really excited about how everything was organized and that for 4 months they really made me feel at home in a magnificent country.
I recommend it to everyone and especially to those who want to relax and enjoy nature without having to think about anything.

can’t in one sentence
Service: my tour guide, Karim, was terrific.. he absolutely became my friend.. and took terrific care of me to be sure everything was perfect as far as he was concerned! Above and beyond!
Home to Africa: disappointed in the stupid and ridiculous flight they booked me on to come home.. I had basically NOTHING to do in Entebbe for 30 plus hours /. I should have been on a one day earlier flight
And to tell me, the travel department thought I needed a day to rest.. that should have been my call especially since there is NOTHING to do in Entebbe.. the owner said he would check on why that happened.. still awaiting that response , even though that is 30 hours totally wasted and lost
It’s things like that that aren’t properly executed to leave a bad feeling

Unforgettable Experience
We did a 12 days safari. Karim was our driver and guide. And the whole trip was a success and an unforgettable experience. The organization and time scheduling was perfect. Everything worked out as planed and promised in the itinerary. It was our first trip to Africa and before we didn't really know what to expect. Our driver and guide Karim took very good care of us. We felt very safe the whole time. Even more important we learned so many things about the country, animals, plants, daily living and the people. It was like having a living encyclopedia traveling along with you which you can ask when ever you have a question or wonder about certain things. These background information, stories and sayings made the things we saw/experienced even more beautiful or understandable. Furthermore we noticed that Karim was very well connected with people and authorities.
To sum it all up, I would recommend Home to Africa 100% and especially Karim to experience Uganda.

6-Day Safari Chimp, Gorilla Trekking and Big Game Combo
excellent planning, we have get best service and all what was agreed in the itinerary was received and more. The most important think is the family feeling during the whole trip. Nasser our guide was so helpful and supportive. We have had best game drives. All his recommendations were excellent.
The car condition and cleanliness were excellent. Chosen accommodations were perfect, clean and very comfortable. All food during trip was very nice. All options were available.

With fantastic guides and hospitable accommodations, we enjoyed every moment touring Uganda!
When my sister and I wanted to book a last minute safari (literally a month before), this safari company was more than willing to help us and host us for six days. They are extremely well organized, and they took care of all plans for the safari to Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi, including our gorilla licenses for tracking, accommodation, all food, all transport to and from the airport and different parks. They are also staffed with the nicest team members. Our personal guide John was amazing, driving us from location to location, describing the landscape and history of the country and its contents, and making sure we were happy and satisfied during our six day excursion.
My sister and I particularly enjoy being active, and although a large part of the safari is in the car, John made sure that we were able to walk around or stand up through the sun roof on game drives in order to appease us! When we said we loved getting up early to watch the beautiful sunrise, he made sure that we did it the next day as well, and because he is an expert safari tracker, we got to see lions that morning as well.
The places we stayed were lovely and quaint with fantastic food, but what made the experiences were the staff at each lodge. They made us tea and made sure we had everything we needed to have a more than comfortable night.
Overall, the safari company surpassed our expectations, as did the activities. Tracking both chimps and gorillas was one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and Uganda has such beautiful scenery and wildlife that I was never bored even being in the car for six hours. Home to Africa truly showed us that Uganda is the pearl of Africa.

Outstanding service
Everything since the first contact was very clear and straightforward. Quick responses and very kind service.
During the safari, everything was very well taken care of and my guide was just amazing. He did everything to make sure my experience was the best.
The accommodations were just beautiful and comfortable (except for one of them) and food was delicious. Their staff and service was always beyond amazing.
All the activities and game drives were well organized
I would absolutely recommend Home to Africa :)

Super company!
Great experience with this company. From the start it was well organised. The booking was easy, the itinerary had to be swapped around as they couldn’t get passes for the gorillas so we ended up doing the route backwards to everyone else but we felt this was actually better!
Upon arrival Derick our guide was ready and waiting. He was superb the whole trip. Super helpful, knowledgable about the wildlife but also a good laugh! There is a bit of driving involved and you need that banter to make the drives more enjoyable.
Can not fault the company. Even though we had a mechanical issue with the car one day a solution was found quickly and we didn’t miss out on anything.
