Client-oriented and experienced tour operator worth every penny
I was a bit hesitant to book a safari with a foreign african company, however booking with Home To Africa was a great decision.
They respond quickly, even during the night. They answer all of your questions tirelessly, explain, help plan, provide itinerary in advance.
The safari and adventure itself was 10/10 and every single thing we aimed to experience was delivered. Home To Africe took a great care of us and our guide KARIM was one of the best guides I have ever worked with. He was extremely helpful, curteous, knowledgeable, kind and made our wishes come true.
This adventure is definitely worth your time and money, Home To Africa is a proper company that is client-oriented and Karim was number 1.
We visited Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania and I cannot recommend more.
Do not hesitate!

Very reliable responsive and professional, quick responses and accurate information
I had a 3 days Safari trip to Lake Mburo organized by Cycle Tours Uganda.
I was in touch with Zaga who provided very quick and accurate responses while we we were planning the trip. Response and flexibility by Zaga were very good and helped to tailor the program to my very special needs.
While on Safari I had a very nice and professional driver called Robert who was very helpful. The trip to lake Mburo was very nice especially the cycling Safari where you get to see the animals from a very close range. The bicycles provided by Cycle Tours Uganda were in a good condition and modern so cycling was great.

A company that you can trust and exceed your expectations. Already planning our next trip with them!
I am very happy I chose this company, the reviews speak for themselves. We did the 7 day luxury, and it was quite amazing. Each place we stayed at was beautiful and the people working there were beautiful.
I planned the trip by speaking to James, and James is very responsive and really cares that we enjoy our experience. We had a small issue and right away James was able to fix it. Very reliable and flexible as a company. Every dollar was worth it!
Our tour guide Ozzie was exceptional. He made the trip great for us. He really cared that we saw the best things possible. We saw the big five and cheetahs all up close and I believe it was because of Ozzie’s skill, care, and knowledge. We learned so much from him. He even planned a surprise for my birthday with the hotel! We are already planning our next trip back and are going to request him!! Book with Lion King Adventures!

The best experience destination for your dream trip
One of the best experiences.
We had a 2 nights and 3 days Masai Mara safari trip with Mufasa. Polly was our point of contact from Mufasa; She planned a perfect itinerary for us, and everything was smoothly. She had given us a checklist. She was in constant contact with us.
Our guide- Peter, was a gem of a person. We felt safe with him. He was humble, knowledgeable and patient. Peter took great effort to take us to the right spots in Masai Mara, because of which we were able to experience the beauty of the Big Five, of which we were able to see 4. We loved him and will definitely recommend him.
Our stay was excellent at Zebra Plains. The camp truly gives you a feeling of luxury. Staffs were helpful and humble. The food was excellent. We saw so many animals from the camp as well, which was quite surreal. The only downside was the internet. We didn’t have any issue as we had a local sim, but if you don’t have a local sim then you may find it difficult.
We would definitely recommend MUFASA.

Spectacular
This tour was perfect! The driver picked me up as directed and we went straight to Pilanesberg. The park was incredible and we saw so many animals.

I would go anywhere in the world with Debs knowing that she will have planned a memorable adventure
We travelled to Uganda in November of 2022 with two other couples. 4 of the 6 of us had previously been to Namibia with Debs Carter. My wife and I have known Debs for over a decade. We had no worries that everything would be well thought out and executed perfectly. Prior to our trip, email communication about the trip was easy, timely and detail oriented. We also knew Debs' standards and that the lodges that were booked would be fantastic.
First stop - Entebbe - Boma Lodge
We stayed the first two nights at the Boma getting adjusted to the time zone and relaxing in a comfortable garden environment. We had a sunset cruise on Lake Victoria for all of us to relax and get to know each other and our drivers from Classic African Safari - Milton and Male.
Second stop - Murchison Falls National Park - Paara Lodge
We had a long drive to this national park, but it was so wonderful to see how the Ugandans live both in cities and in rural towns. The lodge was very nice and located along the Nile. An elephant even visited us while we were in the pool. The next two days were spent on boat rides on the Nile and game drives. The group was flexible and made sure that we got to see the top of Murchison Falls. Just fantastic days in Uganda seeing amazing animals and birds.
Third stop - Kibale National Park-- Ndali Lodge
Another fun drive through small towns to the area near Fort Portal and the Kibale National Park. The Ndali Lodge was nestled by a crater lake and had amazing views from both sides. The lodge was exquisite and the food and drinks were top notch. We absolutely loved this place. We had two days with the Chimps in the park and were amazed at how close we were able to get to these primates.
Fourth Stop - Queen Elizabeth National Park - Twin Lakes Lodge
Our drive from Ndali Lodge to our next stop was highlighted with more game drives and a wonderful lunch at Mweya Lodge on the Kazinga Channel and another boat ride with wonderful bird life. More wonderful game drives for the next two days and some unexpected happenings with local children and angry elephants! Twin Lakes was a lodge that was added to our trip when the first lodge that was booked burned down just a few months before our trip. Debs was able to effortlessly pivot and book a very comfortable alternative.
Fifth Stop - Bwindi National Park - Mahogany Springs Lodge
Our final destination was our absolute favorite lodge. So welcoming with views of the mountains and the impenetrable forrest. The service was the absolute best and we felt personal connections with each person of the service staff. This was coupled with two days of Gorilla trekking that is an experience that you feel blessed to be able to do once it has happened. We also were ale to be involved with a wild pangolin release because we were in the right place at the right time. These days were some of the best on our trip.
We had a small plane ride back to Entebbe and one final night at the Boma.
Traveling with Debs and her husband Steve is like traveling with friends - because they are friends. But, these friends have done all the leg work for your trip and Debs' standards are top-notch. Although things are very well orchestrated and managed behind the scenes, it all seems seamless as your day unfolds in front of you. Debs truly is an expert at what she does. From the review of "Logistics" at dinner for the day ahead of us, to the wonderful sights and camaraderie during the day, it is easy to say that our trips with Debs have been some of the best of our lives. We are looking forward to more adventures with Yoga Safari.

A captivating experience
From the get go it was really smooth, all the email communications were spot on.
Our guide, Dickson was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, and knew his way around Masai Mara and we were able to spot the big 5 and more. We travelled with 2 little ones (6 & 4) and they enjoyed it so much. It’s an experience to see the animals in the wild.
I found Lenchada to have a whole range of budgets that helped us make a good choice. Loved the experience and can’t wait to come back.
