My safari in Uganda was simply fantastic! Every aspect was amazing!
My trip with Home to Africa was everything I had hoped for! I traveled to Uganda as a single women, on a solo trip and I didn't know what to expect. Home to Africa tours and Karim in particular were just perfect. Of course, the gorillas are amazing (you may be 6 feet away from them! Be aware, the trek to see them is not easy...be in shape and USE A PORTER!) Everywhere you look, wildlife abounds and this place is a birders paradise. My treks were everything I had hoped for. The accommodations were also very unique and special...and I mean this is a very positive way. I LOVED the variety of accommodations and the attention to detail. Ugandan coffee overlooking the game reserve as elephants walk by...does it get any better? Majestic hills, beautiful lakes where wildlife gather, crested cranes and towering trees surround you. Your dinner, served to you by candlelight many times, is superb. Every day on my safari was unique. You will travel far and wide to see all of Uganda, but it well worth the trek. After 6 days, I still felt there was so much to see and do. Home to Africa tours made my trip so special! They are responsive and are very good at adjusting the schedules if travel plans change suddenly. Ask for KARIM for sure! He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Truly, this trip was such a good time and I felt relaxed the entire time.
Safety, Safaris & Adventure
We looked at several different options for our photo safari, and eventually chose a one-week tour suggested by John Muhoho from CKC Tours, Travels & Carhire.
We lifted off Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, heading for adventure. Indeed, watching the tiny planes landing on Mara River Airport’s dirt tracks a little while later, we couldn’t help but think of films like King Solomo’s Mines, already feeling like adventurers ourselves.
What followed were seven perfectly organised days in the Mara River Lodge and engaging – if admittedly not quite as dangerous as we felt adventurous, what with the perfect organisation – safaris. As luck would have it, we got to see all of the ‘Big Five’ – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion & leopard – and even got to watch the migration of zebras and wildebeests over the Mara river, complete with some of the latter involuntarily feeding the crocodiles.
From the lodge itself, we could easily spot hippopotamuses resting in the water and crocodiles basking in the sun, although our sense of adventure and danger was once again foiled by the presence of an electric fence standing between them and us – admittedly an understandable safety precaution. Losing the odd tourist to an angry hippo or hungry croc would probably be bad for business.
All in all, it was a remarkably enjoyable and surprisingly relaxing holiday. Our gratitude goes to John and the Mara River Lounge staff – especially our guide Patrick – for the perfect organisation that made this trip such a wonderful experience.

Summiting Mt Kilimanjaro
I have used Focus In Africa twice now to climb Mt Kilimanjaro with large groups. The trips are very well organised, the food is fantastic and the guides are extremely professional. We had 100% success rate on both trips which is a big achievement for any operator. I also used Focus In Africa for safari's and again, this was very well organised. Throughout my dealings with Focus In Africa I found them to be very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. I would highly recommend Focus In Africa for any of your African adventures.

Sumptuous Namibian Holiday
We literally did not have to worry about a thing on our holiday to Namibia. Everything was seamlessly planned and executed. We loved our lodges and the Namibian guides. The tour company was extremely responsive, even hiring us a private charter flight when there was some confusion regarding activities promised in our itinerary. I would definitely recommend this tour company, as it made the trip completely stress free and permitted us to really enjoy what Namibia has to offer.
The safari you want with Uhuru Travel & Tours
Thanks to the agency Uhuru we had a wonderful safari... Very good organisation, the lodge they have chosen, Mdyona Old River Camp was exactly the kind of lodge we are fond of... The most important quality of Uhuru is to answer to all our questions very kindly and to try to find exactly the safari we wish.

Experience of a Lifetime!
Uganda was so much more than I ever anticipated. The wildlife was so abundant. I used Lifetime Safari. Eddie was my driver. He was amazing!!! So patient and was so concerned that I was getting the experience that I was hoping for.
As far as the Safari Bookings website. So user friendly! I loved it and have already recommended to many.

You're really awesome. Best ever!!!!!
I had a time of my life in Africa. It was my first time and I really enjoyed. Savannah Jamboree is a world class tour operator that puts its clients at heart. When I jetted in kenya, I saw my name on a page and I was transfered to my hotel right away. That was a good head start and I was sure that it will be an amazing holiday right from the start. My safari started at 7.00 AM kenya time and the rest is history. Truly amazing.
