A Great Adventure with Room for Better Coordination
Overall, we had a very good experience with Judeson Budget Safaris, especially during the mountain tour itself. Our guide was very friendly, supportive and experienced, and it was clear that he had done the mountain many times before. The porters also did an excellent job, and we always had everything we needed during the trek. The food was very good, plentiful, healthy and varied, with a nice mix of traditional Kenyan dishes. It was not a high-end experience, but considering it was a budget tour, the value for money was absolutely fair and more than sufficient for us.
The main area for improvement would be communication and coordination between Judeson Budget Safaris and the guide. At times, the organisation felt a little adventurous, and some details were not fully communicated or did not completely match what had been described in the original offer. However, these issues did not significantly affect the mountain tour itself, which ran very well overall.
All in all, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience with a great team on the mountain, and with slightly better communication and organisation, the overall experience could be even better.

Highly recommended, we would book with them immediately again !
I’d been looking online for a tour operator who could guide us around Uganda for three weeks, and came across Home to Africa. I booked with them because of the many positive reviews, and I wasn’t disappointed. We booked our own accommodation, and that wasn’t a problem for them. Our driver, Brian, is a really lovely chap and drives very safely. He knows a great deal about the country and the wildlife. He’s a birdwatcher himself, which worked out well for me, as I got extra information about the many birds that live there. He was also able to spot them very quickly; I would never have seen them if he hadn’t been with us. Overall, Brian was also very pleasant to be around; he understood us without needing any explanation. He was always punctual. We couldn’t have imagined a better driver and guide. So, don’t hesitate – just book!
A quick note: if you’re planning to go on the gorilla trek, be sure to check in advance which sector you want to do and discuss this with your tour operator, as not all treks are equally easy (i.e. there are very steep slopes in Nkuringo)
