Excellent alternative to know Uganda and see chimpanzees and gorillas! Derrick the best. - Everything was excellent from start to finish! Our guide, Derrick, was well above our expectations always being very attentive and with the best disposition. We saw a lot of great animals, the tracking was perfect and the trip entertaining and didactic. I recommend it 100%!

Surprising Uganda - The trip to Uganda was surprising and exciting I would say unique. The country is very nice is varied even people are smiling and kind. With the agency home to Africa we found ourselves very well especially with our highly recommended Derrick driver.

Excellent tour operator - Everything perfect, our guide/driver, Derrick, very good. The Lodges, in their simplicity, one better than the other, with very kind staff and impeccable service. We discovered an incredible country, little considered, but absolutely worthy of more travel.

Best Safari ever… cannot wait to come back and do more… fantastic choices and accomodation, and best guide… - Most wonderful 5 days in Uganda; we cannot wait to come back, it really is the Pearl of Africa. Our time was as enjoyable and memorable as a result of our beautiful and knowledgeable tour guide (Derek/Wadria). The safari vehicle was comfortable, and reliable, we never broke down or blew a tyre. The lodges that the company chose were very ethically conscious of supporting the community and made us feel positive that we were contributing. The introduction to the programs they are running was amazing, and particularly life changing for us was Ride 4 a Woman. Our guides we said was amazing - we very strongly recommend you ask for Wadria/Derek. So patient and considerate, if you go to take a photo he will slow down, pull over, amazing… Professional photographer, took most amazing photos of us, funny, great choice in regards to music, beautiful values and respectful to women. Went out of his way to be able accommodate iur specific interests in which animals and did his very best to ensure we saw them. He even turned around and allowed us to go back into the park and preserved until we saw our wish to see the lions in the trees, amazing. Loved to engage in conversation, and interested to learn of our culture and lifestyle. He made the journey so comfortable, and accomodating to our needs and interests. Fantastic driver, we felt safe at all times and enjoyed the free ‘African massage’. Great respect shown to him from other guides and lodge owners/managers.

Incredible experience, amazing guide - We absolutely loved our tour with Home to Africa and our guide William. We did a six day tour, finishing with the gorilla trekking, and what a way to finish. William our guide was extremely knowledgeable and always made sure we got the absolute most out of our tour and safari experiences. We love trying the local foods and William made several stops along the way and got us some to taste. We booked the budget tour but the accommodations for us felt luxurious, they were all really clean and comfortable with a generous amount of food, the staff treated us really well too. I can't speak highly enough of our tour and guide William, we didn't want it to end.

Unforgettable Experience - Home to Africa was by far the most incredible tour package and experience I have had. This review has been a long time coming. Words cannot express the overwhelming joy I felt from this experience. From the moment we arrived in Uganda, we felt at home. Greeted by our tour guide, Emmanuel, he made sure we had everything we needed. He continuously went out of his way to get us anything we needed! We were guided to beautiful places. Even a year later, this has been unforgettable. We saw 4 out of the big 5! Stayed in “budget friendly” accommodations that were BETTER than the upgrades. Emmanuel knew exactly what to do and put our needs above his own. We came face to face with elephants, lions, hippos, buffalo, giraffe, zebras, leopards, chimps, gorillas and so much more! Emmanuel always made sure we had a front row seat and got the utmost out of our experience. We even chased down a hyena! Emmanuel was constantly making us laugh, telling us stories, and giving us so much information about Africa and the animals. It has a wild ride. And the “African massage” you can’t miss! The views lasted forever. The sunsets, the wildlife, the flora and fauna. Home to Africa planned it ALL. And the price is so reasonable. (And more than worth it!!) Please do not hesitate to book with this company. I highly recommend. This is an opportunity you do NOT want to miss and will not regret. My gratitude goes out to Emmanuel. My tour guide, my driver, my sight seer, my photographer and my friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you did for me. I wish you, your family and home to Africa great prosperity, adventure and love.

Experience of a lifetime - Had an incredible experience visiting Uganda. My guide was Eli and he did an amazing job of showing me the beautiful country of Uganda and teaching me more about their rich culture. Seeing the gorillas was one of the best experiences of my life and I highly recommend this trip and my guide Eli
