Pick Home to Africa...You won't be sorry!
Thank you Home to Africa for an unforgettable first trip to Africa. We planned our trip around gorilla trekking and had no idea we would be seeing so much more of Rwanda and Uganda. It truly was a spectacular itinerary. Starting off in Rwanda, we were met at the airport by our guide Oscar who drove a safe and clean Toyota SUV. Oscar took great care of us, the Rwandan accomodations were perfect, and we highly recommend the Kigali Genocide memorial and the golden monkey trekking. After a few days, we were "handed over" to our guide Paul for our safari in Uganda. Paul was the quintessential host. He confidently navigated many long days of driving. He made sure we were settled in safely each night at our accomodations and welcomed us each morning with a smile and an organized itinerary. He never seemed rushed when we were spotting wildlife and birds and is quite the wildlife expert including birding. We even changed our plans for our last day which Paul accommodated happily. We couldn't have asked for a better guide to show us all the wonders of Uganda. We highly recommend gorilla trekking in Bwindi, the game drive in Queen Elizabeth, the game drive in Lake Mburo, and the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary. And I can't end this review without mentioning Elias. Elias was by our side every step of the way from the initial online contact to our last day of our tour. Available for questions and concerns almost 24-7, Elias gave us the peace of mind we needed to sit back, relax, and enjoy our first trip to Africa. He chose wonderful accomodations that were authentic enough to give us an experience but equipped enough for our modern needs. He put together a comprehensive itinerary that allowed us to see almost every park and almost every animal that Uganda and Rwanda has to offer. And he made sure we knew who our guides were going to be ahead of time, ensuring us that we were going to be safe and in good hands. When considering the many safari company options, I implore you to consider Home to Africa. They truly are the best of the best!!

Good Value for money
My daughter and I took a 10 day Safari with Prime Safaris in late August early September.
I found Prime Safaris very efficient and professional to deal with.
Cate and Simon were always quick to respond to my e-mails/questions.
Our Guide Joseph had the skill and personality to make our safari a very relaxed and enjoyable tour, while still keeping our days on schedule. He went our of his way to make sure we we were always comfortable and satisfied. The only negative I have to say about the company is that the vehicle that we were assigned needed some maintenance both mechanically and aesthetically. It would have been nice to be able to drive with the windows up and the air-conditioning.

Amazing Kenya and Tanzania Experience
We had a fantastic time with Wildebeest Safaris. We worked with Noah for months planning our 8 day Kenya and Tanzania safari and everything turned out excellent.
Both of our guides, Simon in Kenya, and Hamza in Tanzania, were excellent and very knowledgeable. Each day was filled with something new and exciting. We saw lions and cheetahs hunting, did a boat cruise with the hippos, and spent a lot of time in the Serengeti and Masai Mara getting up close to the animals.
The places we stayed were also excellent. Every place was very close to the animals, but they were all very safe.
We would highly recommend Wildebeest Safaris to anyone looking to go on a safari, especially the Kenya + Tanzania tour, just so you can experience both cultures and wildlife parks.

Off the Grid
On the recommendation of our Safari With Us contact (Andre), we opted for the ten-day Garden Tour. What can I say - Andre was right on the mark. It was absolutely fabulous! We have been all over the world, and our very first trip to South Africa was way up there. The tour itself was outstanding, as was our guide. The hotels were all excellent, and all of the stops along the way were perfect. For us at least, the Addo Elephant Park and the Woodhall Country House were the best. Over the course of ten days, we saw 29 species of animals in the wild (not including birds), walked with lions, and could have reached out and touched elephants. But perhaps the best of all was the penguins...what a thrill! And that was only the beginning. We toured canyons and mountains, rode the waves off the coast of Knysna, and dined in fabulous restaurants, wineries and inns. South Africa and Safari With Us are definitely on our bucket list for another adventure in the near future! If you are looking for a small-group (4 people plus guide) luxury tour, this is it.

Unique Uganda
Being the first trip to Africa, we didn't know what to expect.
Kevin from Experience Uganda was however very helpful and quick to not only respond but also accommodate our groups requirement and every changing plans. He ensured that we were well taken care off in Entebbe where he is based but also in Kisoro. All and all a very pleasant experience dealing with Experience Uganda......definitely recommended.

A hartwaming experience by the beauty of nature and kindness of the guides!
I went on a two day safari to the Akagera national park with Frank as my guide. Before we met because he wanted to inform me how it goes, to ask If I wanted to see a particular animal,.. He really tries his very best to make your trip as good as possible! I saw a lot of wild animals except no lions. But nature has it's on way and I was very happy with what I 've seen. The variety in the landscape is so beautiful. I got a lot of explenation about the park, the wildlife, legends,.. I recommend Frank because he does his job with a big hart for nature and also for the people he guides!

Truely wonderful experience
Can't speak highly enough for the time we had with Mark and the team. Three days canoeing down the Zambezi with my two sisters. The sights, the scenes and the truly amazing food. Stops for drinks and lunch on banks. So much wild life and wonderful bird life all named and information given by the guides. Just enough feeling of danger to know we are in the wilds of Africa but having the comfort of knowing we were in the care of Mark and Elijah. The highlight of our safari holiday
