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!

Great 8-day tour in Uganda
We really liked a 8-day tour in Uganda with Home to Africa: everything was smooth and well organised. Our guide Vianney was very helpful and informative. I would Highly recommend visiting Uganda in general and with Home to Africa in particular.

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.

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.

Home To Africa excelled in every way by by fulfilling all my wishes and more.
From my first communication through Safari Bookings, Home To Africa was first to reply and with an ideal safari itinerary for the 13 days we had to spend in Uganda. Derrick was able to get the desired luxury level lodges even when we were told by others that they were not available. We wanted to meet up with friends for gorilla trekking and stay at their same lodge for 3 nights. Another travel company used by our friends quoted us $10,000 more for nearly the same lodge bookings and didn't respond for a couple weeks. Needless to say, we chose Home To Africa and were so glad we did. We arrived in Uganda on my birthday and were met by Kareem and his big smile. I was excited to see him for I had read of his wonderful reviews from other travelers. Our flight was 3 hours later than originally planned, but this was not a problem for the Home To Africa team; adjustments were made and instead of visiting the home office to meet the booking team, Hedmond called to wish me a Happy Birthday and a great trip. Very Nice! We loved our guide Kareem from the start. His knowledge of Uganda and its people opened our hearts to this jewel of Africa. Kareem made the long drives between the national parks enlightening as he described the crops grown and way of life of the villagers. His keen sense for finding animals was evidenced by spotting a leopard's kill in a tree and knowing the leopard would not be far away. He knows about all the birds inhabiting Uganda as well and would find them in his bird book to show us a close up picture and describe its characteristics. We didn't have much interest in birding until this time, but Kareem spurred our interest and by the end of our safari I was naming each bird we saw. Kareem was always the gentleman and a good photographer too helping to zoom in on a bird he saw and snapping its picture. The picture he took of us at Murchison Falls with the rainbow surrounding us was so artistic. Thanks for everything Kareem; we will not forget you and if we should have the chance to return to Uganda you can bet we will ask for you. We will recommend Home To Africa to all our friends.
