An amazing experience and the best guide in the world.
It has been an incredible experience and the best thing is the Isaya guide who spoke in Spanish and from the first moment he has helped us with everything, from buying the phone card, withdrawing money, taking us to typical places that tourists do not normally visit, in addition to the company The airline lost our bags and they took care of everything until they arrived three days later. We only have words of thanks for Isaya and we really recommend it 100x100. Thank you very much, hopefully we will see each other soon.

Wonderful experience
I would not know where to start. We have been lucky on our trip to meet Isaya, a guide who has helped us at all times from start to finish. He speaks Spanish which has also made the instance much easier for us. He has explained to us the characteristics of the places, animals, concerns and things and we have also been lucky enough to enjoy with the locals and learn many things. It's been a few days and a wonderful and fantastic experience. Also comment regarding the agency, that our bags were lost at the airport and they brought them to the lodging the next day. Thank you for everything, especially you, Isaya.

What an incredible experience. Truly one of the best times of my life.
What an amazing trip. It started with a boat tour of the Chobe River. We saw so much from the boat and it gave us a unique perspective. We then took a drive through the park to see a large variety of wildlife. Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Kudu, Impala, and on and on. The guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. He knew where to go and exactly what to look for. We then camped under the stars and enjoyed delicious food cooked over the camp fire. Never have I slept so soundly. Morning we woke to an amazing breakfast and out into the park for more wildlife. A few lions made it a perfect trip. I will be back and encourage anyone considering to check out Moonlight Safaris. You won't regret it.

Unforgettable Experience and Memories
From the first time Mr. Zeeshan responded to our initial inquiry until we got dropped off at the Arusha airport when our safari ended, everything has been a very pleasant experience for us. Team Msangai is very responsive, flexible, punctual, trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable. Eric coordinated everything flawlessly, Julius and James executed with great attention to details, customer satisfaction and rules & regulations.
You can choose your own accomodations or go with their recommendations, depending on your taste and budget. Msangai team knows the intricate but important details about making your safari a success and memorable. They are also fun, accomodating and kind people (to the clients, nature and the animals). At the end of out trip, we left with new friends that we would recommend to anyone wishing to go for a well thought and executed safari trip. Keep up the good work guys and hope to see you soon again.

It is possible. Extraordinary safari experience without luxury and WiFi thanks to Bogosi
Booked the safari for 2019, but due to corona started in 2021 with 2 teenagers aged 13 and 15. We actually wanted to book a self-drive safari and were glad that we chose Bogosi, who has contributed to the success of this tour through his many years of experience. A tour with a guide also gives the driver a holiday feeling. We're talking about 6 days of African massage, as Bogosi used to fondly say, since there are no paved roads from Maun to Chobe. Bogosi drove with us over paths that we didn't even recognize as such and would not have dared to drive alone for fear of breaking an axle, always looking for the best spot, of course. We saw all the animals that the national park has to offer and there were a lot of them. Whether it was giraffes or elephants in the middle of our path, herds of lions gathering strength for the next hunt, leopards sharing pumba or the lazy cheetah resting in the tree, Bogosi always had the right nose. His open safari car with three rows of seats made the trip even more enjoyable than in the closed, air-conditioned pickup. We slept the 6 nights at 3 locations in large, high-quality igloo tents that were very quick to set up and take down. Also the sophisticated mattress system. One of us wouldn't recognize the campsites as designated campsites, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, but that was the charm of the trip. Although hyenas and anteaters frequented our camp in search of our kitchen supplies, our chef Timo always guarded our camp well. Timo is a real bushman, who conjured up real miracles on his small lattice over the fire and always gave us security. We didn't know what we were getting into and when Bogosi picked us up with the car and trailer we weren't sure if this could be really great, but it was and we would do it exactly the same way again and again. Thank you, a great experience - also for teenagers!

Amazing trip
I did the 11-days Kenya Tanzania safari. It was a great experience, we saw lots and lots of animals. The hardest was to go back home. We followed the scheduled program. Steve was helpfull and always available (7/7) for any questions before AND during the safari. I choosed the budget safari but do not regret it at all. It totally met my expectations. Accommodation and food were ok for the money spent. Some comments online about the camps are a bit exaggerated :)

No words to describe how excellent this was
I do not have any words to describe how brilliant this safari was with this number one company for safari ! We saw so many wildlife and the guys ‘ James and Freddy ‘ were so safe with the car compared to the other companies that broke a tire every time they took the road . We had excellent local food, the cars were so comfortable and that is the first car I have never been sick in they offered plugs and refreshments in the car . Thank you so much to them again and we hope to seen them again .

HIGHLY RECOMMEND HOME TO AFRICA TOURS!!!
I had one of my best travel experiences with Home To Africa Tours. I did a 12 day western Uganda tour which allowed me to focus on one part of the country and be able to actually enjoy the trip instead of trying to rush from one place to the next. Derrick was my driver and he was the perfect guide for me. He was very chill but also very informative and knowledgeable about wildlife and the culture of the country. I told him I wanted a taste of the "real" Uganda instead of just doing the touristy things. He took me out to a couple of the local bars at night, we stopped and ate some of the street food from the local vendors and we became friends along the way.
The thing about traveling to a third world country, is that you have to remember that you are in a third world country and you are not going to have the same comforts or amenities as you may have at home or while visiting other westernized countries. You would think this would go without saying, however, I realize that is not always the case. However, with that being said, my lodges were very comfortable with beautiful surroundings and left me with nothing to complain about.
Another thing to remember is wildlife is unpredictable and even though you might have it in your mind that you're going to see all of these animals you dreamt of seeing, the reality is, that's not always the case. I was one of the lucky ones and saw even more than I bargained for. Part of that was because I decided to spend an extra day at Queen Elizabeth NP. Three days at that park might be too many for some, but after not seeing much the first two days, I opted to do the tracker experience (for an extra fee). That was a total game changer for me. It allowed for a "front row" view of a leopard in a tree and a pride of lions making a kill. I even saw a hyena running across the savanna. I wouldn't go into this expecting to see the same things, however, you're chances of seeing these animals do increase drastically.
I did gorilla, chimpanzee and golden monkey trekking as well. I was one of the lucky groups to locate the gorillas within the first hour of trekking, however, I know this can be a 7-9 hour day while hiking through some very difficult, steep terrain. The experience was amazing but that hour did go by fast for me. It was definitely worth the experience, but if I go back, I might opt to do the gorilla habituation where you can spend four hours with them.
All in all, it was a trip of a lifetime for me and I would definitely recommend Home To Africa Tours. I really believe Derrick made all of the difference in my experience. He showed me the "real" Uganda and was so patient about everything. Home To Africa really nailed it in planning everything I had hoped to see and do. I embraced the country and it's culture as well as I could, and I hope if you choose to go, you do the same. It's a beautiful country with so much to offer, but ultimately it's up to you to truly embrace the country for all of its beauty.
