Everything perfect, absolutely recommendable
I am responsible for the reader journeys of Südostschweiz and have organized a group trip. We were 18 people and all totally thrilled. The accommodations were simply chosen in advance (due to price) and met almost all our requirements. We were traveling with three jeeps, and the drivers spoke very good German and could tell us a lot about the country and the people. They all drove very carefully and forward-looking, we always felt very safe. Uganda is beautiful and we will be back. Thanks, Ivan, Robert and David, you were great.

Bucket List Ticked With Ultimate Gorilla Experience
Our journey began with the wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful Brian who was to be our guide for the duration of our stay in this wonderful country. From the moment we landed at the airstrip for our trip to the Bwindi National Park we were looked after in a very special way both by Brian on behalf of Speke but also by the very wonderful staff at the Buhomi Lodge inside the national park.
The service was impeccable and I would like to especially pick out Julius who made the stay very special. The trip was very well organised and impeccably paced despite the vagrancies of the Ugandan weather but as someone pointed out regularly its a Rain Forrest!
Our trip to see the Gorillas was again very well organised and we were very well looked after on what was a demanding trek and its thanks to the trek team and Steven our guide that everything went so smoothly and our dream of seeing the gorillas was such an amazing success.
I would recommend wholeheartedly Speke to anyone who is thinking of travelling to see these amazing mammals there service and attention to detail was impeccable

An excellent overall experience of wildlife and community life in Uganda
We found the whole tour to be a well organised one. We stayed in lovely camps providing excellent facilities and food. We
were fortunate to see plenty of wildlife and the thrill of the gorilla trek. We also enjoyed the cultural experience of Uganda that the tour provided.

Wonderful tour of one of the most beautiful countries!
We worked with Speke through our America-based travel agent. This is a review about our tour guide, Innocent Mugoofu, who we had during our entire 5-day stay in Uganda. Innocent picked up my husband and me in Kigali and transported us into Uganda with a wealth of knowledge and excitement about his country.
Firstly, his driving was exceptional, which was important for a few reasons - 1) he had to deal with driving on different sides of the road going from Rwanda to Uganda, 2) the roads in Uganda are often dirt/rock/bumpy and on the edge of the hills with no guardrails, and 3) the drives were lengthy. We always felt safe with him driving! Plus he was a pro at crossing the borders via road. Secondly, he made sure our stay was memorable and special. We had several multi-hour drives that went by quickly since we spent the whole time chatting with him, with each of us learning about the other's culture. He was on time (early!) and professional and helped us with each of our trekking experiences, including what to wear and what to expect.
Speke also set up all our gorilla and golden monkey permits, plus a boat ride at our hotel for us. Everything went off without a hitch! We would certainly recommend Innocent as a tour guide to others (and hope to one day visit Uganda again with him to see even more the country has to offer!), and we imagine that the rest of Speke's staff are high quality, as well!
(A quick note that the Toyota SUV we used was a safari-type vehicle, which may not seem overly luxurious at first, but it's the only thing that can handle the rough terrain around trekking areas.)

AWESOME
This was our first visit to the African continent. Our safari through West/South Uganda took us from Kampala to Kibale Nationalpark, to the Queen Elisabeth incl. Ishasha Sector to the south to Moint Gahinga NP (Gorilla Tracking) and from there to Lake Mburo NP. Our guide Nelson was simply world class. His animal and especially bird spotting ability was phenomenal. Thank you very much Nelson for great time!
All the lodges that we stayed at were of the highest standard and all the peopel there were very friendly, helpeful, reliable and serviceoriented.
The bottom line of the journey: Amazing, unique experience with expert guide. Unforgettable Holidays in Uganda - the Pearl of Africa! Please protect this wonderful part of the world - Thank you.

Amazing trip to Uganda with Speke
We had an amazing tour in Uganda in early Feb 2019 organized by Speke.
It started with planning the trip and customizing it to our requests. Stella was super supportive of our special requests - and customized the tour for us. Our guide, Asman, was terrific. His knowledge, friendliness, and true care for our needs - made this a wonderful trip.
The lodges we stayed at were all great.
We started with the amazing gorillas at Bwindi forest. A truly touching experience.
We then went north to see wildlife in Ishasha , chimpanzees, elephants, hippos and more in Kazinga channel and much more.
And all along the way we met the nice and friendly people of Uganda!
Many thanks to Speke for a truly great experience!
