Excellent Murchison Experience!
Communication with Tim is always clear. He's a highly organised individual and always flexible with changes to itinerary. The safari was above our expectations - the family cottage at Murchison River Lodge was stunning. We loved the personal trip in the boat down the river (even if it was quite close to the crocs!). On the Safari, Rogers went above and beyond to help us see all of the wildlife - so much so, that we would have enjoyed another game drive! The park ranger was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information. Unfortunately the weather conditions weren't great for the chimp trekking, but such things can't be controlled. All in all, our expectations were exceeded in every way and it was a highly enjoyable experience - perhaps my parents' favourite place in Uganda!

Everything was very professional and accurate
We took a short safari to Mikumi on our way to Zanzibar. Nyasi Adventure offered the best price out of 11 agencies I've contacted and were among the first to answer my price request mail.
We've booked without any deposit. Nyasi's manager and driver met us at the airport in the afternoon upon arrival, I've paid the settled amount and got an official receipt. The car was ok (the very vehicle we went to the safari). Not new, but comfortable enough (no air conditioning).
We got to Mikumi in the evening (our driver, Gaston, was great at getting us to Tan Swiss Lodge where we stayed on time, so we could get some sleep after a long flight).
In the morning we went out to the safari. There were some difficulties at the entrance (some troubles with our driver paying with a card of another company on his previous visit), so we've lost about an hour.
It was all compensated bu a most wonderful safari! We've even saw a lioness (how our driver noticed her under a bush - it's still a mystery, we've managed to see her only after he drove the car on a few-meter distance!), and a great pack of elephants (with babies), crossing our road and posing for us.
We were back at the Dar as Salam airport right in time for our flight to Zanzibar.
To sum up: that was our first trip to Africa, and I've heard that local people are not the most accurate in terms of timing (and our further experience confirmed that). But with Nyasi Adventure everything was different. They've delivered everything they'd promised, everything we'd agreed upon, for a fair price, at the right time. There were a few drawbacks (at the park entrance), but we were compensated for that with a great safari experience.
And, a big "thank you" goes to Gaston, our driver and guide. He knows his job really well, both as a driver and a guide.
When we come back to Tanzania, I hope to go with Nyasi Adventure for a longer safari. Thank you!

Amazing experience with very caring and professional team
Discovering northern Tanzania national parks was long time dream. All went perfect : organization before we arrived, during our trip regarding quality of logistics, accommodation, transportation and food as well as quality of our guides. All was made for us to feel like home while preserving the specificity of our experience in a wonderful environment. I did expect a lot from this trip .. thank you for making it even better than imagined ! I definetely recommend this company.

Choose "Home to Africa"!
Edward, Elias, and Paul were exceptionally helpful, both before and during the tour. We did a three-day safari, and our driver, Paul, was knowledgeable about the wildlife and did a good job of preparing us with information before each stage of the tour. With over a decade of leading tours, Paul's experience showed. Edward was responsive and helpful in setting up the tour, answering emails promptly and organizing a trip to a school in Jinja to provide humanitarian service. Elias was present before and after the tour, to make sure our questions were answered to our satisfaction.
Some tour companies make you feel like they only want your money. Home to Africa Tours and Travel make you feel like they want you to come back.

An unforgettable experience!
The safari trip with Big Five Voyage was an amazing and unforgettable experience, everything was taken care of and it was a very good Value for money, with one night in a lodge and two nights camping in the natural parks. Nature was splendidly beautiful and we even saw the big migration of 1,5 million wildebeasts on their way to Kenya! The driver was very friendly and stopped whenever we wnated to watch the animals more closely, and he communicated with other drivers to spot other special animals like the leopard. The cook made some delicious meals and took good care of breakfast, lunch and dinner while we were away. Keep in mind that a tip in the end is a common practice with Safari tours, so include this in your budget for the tour. The safari is quite some hours driving to move from one place to the other, but all views are amazing so just enjoy it! I recommend everyone to go on a four-day safari with Big Five Voyage! Especially Ngorogoro Crater and Serengeti were the most spectacular, so make sure this parks you will see! Enjoy

Fabulous organization, communication and service!
Home to Africa Tours and Travel is a first class safari and travel tour operation company! From the moment I sent my first email inquiring about their services to the last drop off to Entebbe International Airport, everything they did exceeded my expectations. The organization and communication were always efficient and top notch; including answering my questions in a timely manner, providing sufficient details to the days' itineraries and meeting safari schedules. Our guide, Paul, was friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. The accommodations, food and transportation were also fantastic! The best thing about Home to Africa Tours and Travel company is that it gives back to the community of Uganda by giving a portion of its safari fees to help a school in Buwenge, Jinge. It is not just a company providing great tours of Uganda, it is a company looking out for the future of Ugandan children. (One of the favourite parts of our holiday was spending a day with the school's administrators and children, in addition to bringing donated school supplies for them.) Thank you Home to Africa Tours and Travel for making our Ugandan memories so special!
