Spotted the Big Five!
Our safari through the Murchison Falls National Park was really great! We even spotted the Big Five! The ranger, who joined us in our car, really helped us spotting the animals that are hard to find, such as the lions and the leopard. Besides the safari, we also did the chimpansee tracking. It is good to know you should wear long sleeves and pants and good shoes, because some of the people in our group had to hire boots, because they didn't have the right shoes. The tracking was really cool, the chimpansees came really close to us and we saw lots of them.

An elephantastic safari!!
In januar we met Selma on the vacation market in Utrecht. She informered us very well about the possibilities on a safari. During some emailcontact we got some extra advice for a safari compare our ideas and budget. The safari was, in every aspect, above our expectations. First our excellent guide Humphrey. He was not only funny but know a lot about nature and wild live. Thanks to his exceptionele eyes, we spotted the Big Five(with spouse), the Ugly Five and lots and lots of other animals very close to our car.. Every day he brought some new excitement, took good care of us with nice lunchboxes and good coffee. And after a long safari day we were every time surprises by the hospitality and service of each lodge. The tentedlodges were all very good. We didn't expected so much luxury and very tastefull food.
This safari we will always remember as one of our topvacations. When we go once more to Tanzania we sure go for Humphrey and Makasa!

Really great trip around Namibia
We took the self-drive option for our trip. Communications before, during & after trip were first class. The vehicle provided was perfect for the trip & came with SatNav and a local phone.
The service from Ivo & his Team exceeded our expectations with everything about the trip explained very well.
The trip itself was brilliant and accommodation was first class, with one exception. In the Soussuvlei area, the advertised hotel was full & we were booked into Desert Quiver (we knew this at the time of booking). This is great if you are self-catering but we had meals included and needed to drive 5km each way to get our food.
Apart from this minor irritation, we had a wonderful time & can thoroughly recommend Dunas.

Great
We enjoyed the stay, and the choices that were made. Little mistakes, they did not take a good week off.

Amazing adventure. Terrific guide, comfortable accomodations and beautiful country
Given the time zone and cultural differences it was very good. Augustine helped plan the safari to our needs. Once on the ground i cant think of one thing I would change. Our guide became family and out 10 yr old talks about the trip daily a year later. I frankly wish I could go back now. You will not regret AA Africa!

An unforgettable and amazing experience
I had an excellent time right from my arrival to when I departed from Uganda. I found my guide waiting for me at the airport as arranged. The food, accommodation, barbecue on the first day and camp fire on the last day was amazing. My favourite was Rhino tracking , the game drive at Murchison falls national park and the boat cruise.
The tour guides were very knowledgeable, professional and very outgoing. I would love to come back after such an amazing time and exceptional service. Scovia is a very great and knowledgeable guide and I wish I can come back some day experience her exceptional customer service once more.
I highly recommend Pamora Safaris Uganda if you are looking for a great holiday with a professional and fun loving guide for an unforgettable experience.

Fabulous - the safari I've always dreamed of. I hope to return someday!
Ours' was a trip of a lifetime. It was like travelling with your favorite professor. You cannot do better than this! Augustine and AAAfrica’s naturalist drivers teach you so much with their deep knowledge about the wildlife and Tanzanian history and culture. They never mind questions! And always have answers.
Their enthusiasm and humor are infectious. Augustine has given lectures to many zoological organizations here in the states…
They also are absolutely committed to making every traveler comfortable and handling any and ALL issues that invariably arise. Chet's luggage zipper broke...in a day, Augustine had it fixed.
I have always wanted to see the animals of Africa…it was the lifetime trip I’d dreamed it would be and more. I wanted to see animals...but Augustine, my new brother, and team, made it so much richer.
It’s also so good that AAAfrica supports 10 schools. Until you’ve been to Tanzania, that may not resonate but it IS remote...and the children need.
Accommodations were great. The country is beautiful….so much so, I, for a first time after holiday, didn’t want to go home.
Augustine and crew (hey Hillary!) make you feel like a warm family. I can’t imagine anyone would find a better partner than Augustine’s Adventure Africa for your safari.
You'll probably also "adopt" Augustine and crew as your family...good people find good people.

Five days of well-organized fun
I've traveled in Africa before, but have never actually done a multi-day safari with a touring company, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when Paul (Sunshine) picked my sister and I up at our hotel in Kampala. We needn't have worried -- our tour with Paul was excellent, and I would recommend Home to Africa to anyone looking for a well-organized, fairly priced, and thoughtfully delivered trip.
The planning process (conducted solely via email) kept us well-informed, and Paul continued that during our trip, making sure we knew what to expect each day (e.g., lots of travel, or an early morning to get to the park at sunrise). Our activities were a lot of fun. Paul himself is a delight -- he offered interesting information about parts of Uganda and Ugandan culture during our long drives, and was incredible at spotting animals when we were in the park. The night before our gorilla trekking, Paul gave us a very good idea of what to expect the next morning.
The accommodations that Home to Africa selected for us were wonderful -- both the proprietors and other guests were friendly and kind. All in all, the trip exceeded my expectations.
Thank you to Edward, Elias, and especially Paul for making our trip memorable for all the right reasons. :)

a great company the best safari
Our trip to Uganda with Home To Africa Tours and Travel was great: We had a very nice guide, Paul, My wife was really thrilled as it was her first time in Africa. Paul told us a lot about the country and the people of Uganda. He was a very good driver, too. We tracked chimpanzees and gorillas – All the lodges suggested were awesome and meals were as we requested. The safari was worth the pay . Thank you Elias for the great work . We will surely return . We highly recommend this company to the next travellers .

my new holiday destination
I visited Uganda with my husband and We had a wonderful time in Uganda! Thanks to Home To Africa Tours and Travel.
The trip and all the tours have been well organized. Our accommodations were much better than we had expected as well as the meals we could enjoy.
But much more important to us was a Guide Paul was knowledgeable and with vast experience. This was a deep and emotional experience. We never made it without him. We highly recommend Home To Africa Tours and Travel
