A 9 day Trip in Uganda with Home to Africa - I completed a 9-day tour in Uganda with "Home to Africa" in July 2025. First of all, my contacts with the agency (Elias and Hedmond) were very friendly and very professional. The trip program was perfectly respected, the lodges were nice and clean. My guide BENON was super pleasant, competent and very helpful, he never refused my requests and on several occasions we had extended days because I am passionate about animals and nature. He was full of little attentions during my stay. He is a very nice person, I highly recommend him! My tour where I had exciting experiences: trekking with chimpanzees, gorillas and golden monkeys, safaris at Queen Elizabeth N.P and MBuro N.P and a short stay on Itambira Island at Lake Bunyonyi where I met wonderful people (Sally). A big THANK YOU to BENON and Home to Africa!

Unforgettable Safari Experience – 5 Stars All the Way! - We were a group of four friends, and this 5-day safari with Home to Africa was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up in Entebbe, every detail was well-organized and seamless. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and always having fun. Each day brought new adventures – horseback riding with zebras and giraffes in Lake Mburo, chimpanzee tracking in Kalinzu Forest, spotting tree-climbing lions in Ishasha, and the unforgettable gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi. The landscapes were breathtaking, the wildlife encounters were magical, and the memories we made will last a lifetime. Special thanks to our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made every moment feel personalized. The accommodations were cozy and authentic, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the trip. Highly recommend Home to Africa if you're looking for an authentic, budget-friendly, and adventure-filled safari in Uganda. Truly the trip of a lifetime – we laughed, we explored, and we bonded like never before!

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.

Amazing time in Uganda - Derrick was an excellent and proactive tour guide. He went above and beyond to make sure that we had an AMAZING experience, seeing all there is to see: jaguars, lions, elephants, hippos, etc. He also told us very interesting facts about Ugandan culture that opened our eyes (: I only dock a star because I wish that there were more expectations set per day. Sometimes it felt like we were getting into the van but weren't being briefed all the way about what was happening.
