Great Safari in Uganda with Home to Africa! - Great Safari in Uganda with Home to Africa! First, the email exchange was smooth and efficient with all team members. We were able to adapt the itinerary according to our desires and they knew how to answer our questions. Our guide was Dani, always smiling, it was very easy to chat and laugh with him. Dani had solid knowledge and good advice during safaris, he allowed us to see many animals and great scenes with leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hyenas... Dani was also very accommodating to adapt to our wishes, he did his best to optimize every minute of our stay. We chose to meet the chimpanzees and gorillas. This encounter with the primates was out of time, grandiose. Special mention for trekking through jungle and plantations, which led us to a gorilla family living on the mountainside in a dense jungle. In conclusion, a thousand thanks for a memorable family stay. Limeul family, end of September 2024

Best trip ever - Our 16 day trip with Derek around Uganda was an absolute trip of a life time. Every effort was taken to make sure that we were looked after - even right down to details telling us what side of a boat to sit on to see the best animals. Derek was so knowledgeable about every aspect of his wonderful country and seemingly knew everyone. We saw incredible wildlife at every turn and already can't wait to come back. Thank you so much Derek and Home to Africa!

incredible guide, tour and company - my trip '8 days to see gorillas and chimpanzees' justified the no. 1 rank of the agency home to africa tours and travel. the agency is very professional and reliable in every sense: marketing, sales, finance and guidance of course. my guide Benon is a great person who knows everything about uganda and east africa as well. Benon insisted that every issue of the itinerary and even more will be achieved, although I myself not so mind.

The great trip full of impressions - I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for the trip. It was very well constructed and organized. A very big thank you to our guide Vianney who excelled in his job both as a guide and as a chauffeur. He both shoved us and explained everything there is to know about Ugandan birds and animals. We learned about Ugandan traditions, everyday life and cuisines. Vianney listened to our requests and realized them all in real life. We are extremely happy that our dream of visiting Uganda came true. Our most sincere thank you! Vita Lakute

Trip of a Lifetime! - If you’re considering going on a Safari, I would 100 percent recommend booking with Home to Africa! They exceeded every expectation, from trip planning to the on-ground experience. Right from the beginning, they were incredible- great with communication, timely, efficient and always ready and willing to answer my questions! They tailored the entire trip perfectly for my partner and me, making every step of the journey seamless. We spoke to other people who were on different tours who told us they had hidden fees and all so we felt really lucky that Home to Africa was so great and up front about everything! Our guide, Ben, was outstanding. If you choose Uganda, I highly recommend requesting him. His deep knowledge of the local plants and wildlife added so much to the experience, and his patience and expertise ensured we saw everything we hoped for and more. It was truly magical! We can’t recommend Home to Africa enough! From the magnificent Murchison Falls to the majestic wildlife and the warm, welcoming people, every moment was unforgettable. It was more than just a safari—it was an immersion into Uganda’s rich culture, amazing wildlife and stunning landscapes. This was more than just a safari for us. Driving through the towns, seeing friendly faces, and kids waving—Uganda truly is the Pearl of Africa. If you’re debating where to go, Uganda has it all. You’ll see the Big Five, trek with chimps and gorillas in the forests and mountains, and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture. This was a life-changing, unforgettable trip for my partner and me, and after nine days, we didn’t want to leave! For anyone wondering when to visit, October was ideal. With fewer crowds, we had prime views of everything, making for a magical experience. So, if you’re deciding on a safari destination, choose Uganda with Home to Africa. It will be the trip of a lifetime!

8 day safari - Went of safari for 8 days with our wonderful guide Ben. Couldn't recommend him highly enough. Was great fun and really knowledgeable as regards animals and one of the highlights of our trip was the mountain road trip through the local community to see crater lakes. Everything from start to finish was brilliant. If your booking a safari booking with Home to Africa and requesting Ben is the way to go. Thank you guys it's a trip I'll never forget.👏
