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!

Do Serengeti and forget the rest !!!
We did Serengeti after we did Masai Marah.I had a lot of expectations from Masai Marah but it could have been better.We were seeing a million of Wildebeest and strangely there were dead Wildebeest in every corner of the Park.It was an indication that many which had migrated from serengeti have died here said the guide!It meant the carnivores are well fed.Our chances of seeing kill sequences was not great !But we did shoot a failed hunt by two lionesses at mara and i missed the Croc pulling down a baby Zebra during the famous river crossing as my VideoCamera was focussed with full zoom on another Zebra which was actually supposed to be gobbled up!!
Then comes Serengeti!The Wildlife doesnt hit your face like Masai Marah but there are many many cats in central serengeti.The park was crowded.We shot 9 Hunt sequences in 4 days.All failures:(One was so close-" i could have caught that Zebra" but the teenage male lion with a messy mane made a mess of it:P .In the end again bad luck struck us.There was apparently a Topi which was sleeping while standing (Topis sleep in standing position,they startle like us humans from sleep and start running!)This Topi was taken down by a group of lionesses in a swift pace .We arrived 3 seconds late on the scene :( Serengeti was a beautiful experience but we were unlucky ...Terribly unlucky and stupid of me with my camera .I had to bear some frustration from my better half as i missed the shot were the Zebra was gobbled by the croc in Mara !

Review about Tanzania by Pavan
Serengeti and Ruaha are stars.Selous has great potential but 90 percent of the reserve is kept aside for hunting which is very frustrating and dumb.Trophy hunting in selous is rampant and for ulterior motives of politicians making money selous continues to be a hunting ground.If this park opens up fully for tourism and sends all the trophy hunters a strong signal to stay at home .This park is will be the best on this planet!Hope it happens soon!Its been proved tourism brings more revenue than stupid ,cruel and destructive trophy huntings!

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.

Perfect service, excellent experience
We had the perfect experience with Serenesafris. Pre visit communication with Lucy was fantastic, she was able to build in our requests and also offer great advice.
The private safari with Peter was excellent, very relaxed, off the beaten track truly serene!
We highly recommend this company and team.

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

My husband and myself went in that safari not expecting it to be this extraordinarily organized.
Everyone was on point and everything went well !!!
