Great tour operator for discovering Uganda, the pearl of Africa, book with them without hesitation
First, we wanted to visit Rwanda mainly for mountain Gorillas , but we change our mind when we saw the price of the permit !!!
And then , the opportunity became Uganda ,half the price !
We were not disapointed at all ! The country is so beautiful , with landscapes changing colors from the green of the mountains, the yellow of the savanah, the blue of the numerous lakes, and the lodges always situated in beautiful places with breathtaking views.
With our guide Balam , that i have to say is an important part of the success of our journey , we saw all the animals we do not know that we could see, in different national parks, the big five, lions on the trees, leopards, chimpanzés , so many beautiful coloured birds singing the whole day, amazing sunrises and sunsets, and so good vegetarian food and fruits
People of Uganda is so welcoming and i have to say that we love all the kids we met
We visited many countries in Africa , made so many safaris ,saw many animals, but we do not imagine all Uganda has to offer !!!
And last but not least, the encounter with mountain gorillas, the main reason of coming to Uganda, the pearl of Africa ,was so amazing, uncredible, that we will never forget it !
Thanks so much to Hedmond who was communicating with us at all times, to all the team of Home2Africa , and to Balam "Buffalo soldier", our driver and guide ,for his kindness , his knowledge, we were so happy to share all these moments with him, and miss his every day "african massages" so much !!!Ask for him !! Merci beaucoup Balam-Olivier !
Do not hesitate, visit this beautiful country, but do it with Home2Africa, the value for money is great !!!!

Home to Africa is the best choice ....
I never write reviews, which is funny because I read all of them. HOME TO AFRICE delivered more then a trip of a life time. We made life long friendships. We booked Gorilla trekking in both Uganda and Rwanda. Everything was taken care and we where left not wanting to anything. We did the habituation trek in Uganda. It was the most challenging adventure of my life and worth every moment. The trek in Rwanda was complete different. The trek in Rwanda was not as difficult (thank goodness). I'm so happy we did both of them because of the chance to have 2 complete different experience's. Uganda was more trees and dark. Rwanda was more lush and green.
Karim Walugembe was our Uganda Safari guide. We were with him for 5 wonderful day. Karim is there head safari guide in Uganda and has been a guide for 15 yrs. We had so many good fortunes on our trip (good weather even though its rainy season, lodges to our selves, amazing food). The best fortune was getting Karim as our guide. He has years of knowledge and knowhow. I feel very strongly that the wrong guide could make or break your safari. Karim did more then make our trip, he left me with life long memories people can only hope to dream about. Bosco was our Rwanda guide. we were with him for 2 days. He did a great job as well. We are already planning our next trip back.

Seamless once-in-a-lifetime trip
Our experience with Home to Africa's 7-day Rwanda and Uganda tour was incredible. Prior to travel the team was responsive to all inquiries and opportunities to customize our experience. Once our tour started, both our guides Alex and Derrick were knowledgable, friendly, accommodating, and excellent at spotting wildlife. Everything was fully planned and thought out on our behalves so all we had to do was wake up on time and get good pictures. I highly recommend booking with this group!

Most Amazing Trip!
I'm a "senior" female and traveled solo from the west coast of the US to Rwanda and Uganda. Home to Africa was with me every step of the way, from the excellent email communication for almost a year before my trip to my two knowledgeable, competent and smiling drivers. I felt safe everywhere I went. Lodges were charming, activities better than described, lots of little "extras" along the way I didn't expect, and the food delicious at every stop. I had checked out several other tour companies (and had to cancel three trips during covid). This was by far the most economical and in-depth trip I'd researched. They tailer-made my itinerary to suit all my requests. I saw gorillas twice (once in Rwanda for 1 hr. with a gorilla family, and a rather grueling 4-hr. Habituation Experience in Uganda...a trip of a lifetime, but not for the novice trekker as we bushwhacked through the jungle!). Those experiences are now seared on my brain. I saw chimps, golden monkeys, went to several national parks including Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls, did boat rides including a Nile River cruise (with colorful birds, hippos and crocs), walked up to once-extinct rhinos in Uganda (now there are 33!) at the beautiful Kiwa sanctuary, saw amazing wildlife (the big 5!), had several cultural experiences including the new Dian Fossey Museum, met locals and watched them craft coffee, banana beer, weaving, sewing, etc. My driver even made a special planned stop along the way to visit a special school I wanted to see. Kudos to Hedmond, Baptiste and Vianney for such a smooth experience! It's one I'll never forget!

Perfectly organized 20-day trip to the Pearl of Africa
We can highly recommend Home to Africa. We were on a 20-day trip with them. The itinerary was amazing. They adjusted the tour according to our wishes. In the end, we had the most amazing trip with so many different activites.
Our driver / guide, Karim, made our trip perfect. He drove us around safely while spotting tons of animals and in the meantime he also explained us so many things about the history, culture, nature and the wildlife of Uganda.
He made sure that all our lodges were spottless and that we always were served great food. If we had any wishes, Karim would take care of it.
Thank you for making our trip to Uganda such a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

Awesome !! everything was top notch!
last month we did an 8 day trip to Uganda at Home to Africa.
The trip was a curated trip to our wishes.
It was an unforgettable trip!! What we saw really exceeded all our expectations! With the Gorillas as the highlight. We had Derrick as a guide and this man gave our holiday a top experience.
It was great

Great value with high quality. Highly recommended
We were keen to get a reasonably priced yet high quality tour and Home to Africa delivered. On our safari, we saw chimpanzees, gorillas and lions up close, as well as many more animals. Our driver, Brian, was knowledgeable and great company; the lodges were clean and very well maintained, food was delicious and plentiful and we had no complaints. As well as the gorilla and chimp treks, three game drives were included in our 4 night tour. More expensive safaris do the same treks, so I highly recommend Home to Africa. Also, all lodges were Ugandan owned.

Amazing 10-Day Safari through Beautiful Uganda
We did the 10 day Pearl of Africa Tour in November 2022 and enjoyed every second of it. We visited both Murchison Falls NP, as well as Queen Elizabeth National Park, did the Chimp and the Gorilla Trekking.
The communication with Hedmond beforehand was wonderful and he always answered us promptly.
Our guide Benon made it a memory to last and we can highly recommend him to show you beautiful Uganda.
He took great care of us and let us have a lot of time with the animals we encountered. We felt safe and very welcome during our entire stay and are already looking forward to coming back.
