Perfect time Uganda
We had a woulderful time in Uganda! Thank to Speke Uganda Holidays!
The trip and all the tours have been well organized. Our accomodations were much better than we had expected as well as the meals we could enjoy.
But much more importet to us ... Our sophisticated guide introduced us to the peple who live there. This was a deep and emotional experience. We never made it without him. He explained the culture and gave us some background information. So we had the chance to learn about this country not even from the troutist's perspective. And he has taken us to the highlights of Uganda's flora and fauna. Amazing!
All went well. At least we couldn't complain about the wether. So all went perfectly!
P.S. the trip was arranged in cooperation with Diamir (German travel agency)

Uganda Tour
Very well organised. Hamid, our driver, was excellent. Very polite, well spoken, considerate and always on time. He tried to accomodate any small changes we wanted to make en-route and was very familiar with the roads, almost to last pothole. He seemed to have a very good rapport with other tour guides and with game reserve staff which made a big difference to our experience. The only slight problem we had was with the baggage. We probably had too much and some of it had to come in the interior seating area which made it a little crowded, but Hamid did everything he could to ensure our luggage was properly secured on the rood and protected with canvas and the rest was properly stored inside.
The itinerary was a little tight and we missed doing a couple of things which we would have liked to. Had Speke suggested a couple of extra days, we would have considered it.
Overall, would highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays.

100 % professional planning and empathic guidance throughout the journey
We were really absolutely satisfied with the whole organisation and execution of the trip. Very good planned and prepared, we never had to wait and both of our guides (Robert for 8 days and Grace for 7 days) were very empathic and they always knew and recognized what we want and what we prefer. The 4WD car was always clean and comfortable. The lodges were all very nice and well selected.
All in all we can recommend Speke without any deductions.

An unforgettable trip with loads of fun
Let me come straight to the point: I had a wonderful trip and enjoyed every minute of it! I loved the scenery and the wildlife and I loved life unfolding itself in the villages and small towns.
Even though - and, yes, I do have some reservations - we found that the programme was a bit too full, especially at the beginning of our safari. Here we were, pale Europeans, trying to forget about having to watch the time from morning till night - and what did we have to do?? Live by the clock - from morning till night!!!
Another criticism I would like to get off my chest is the fact that the trip was rather expensive. Just to give you one example of where we did not receive value for money is the packed lunches we got from the lodges which were way too expensive.
But - as I said before - I loved the trip, not least because of the great company I had in our car with our competent, kind and knowledgeable guide and driver, Michael, who took those long, exhausting days on the roads in his stride and made sure we arrived safe and sound. Thank you!

I highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays to show you this beautiful country
From our initial contact, Speke proved responsive and flexible despite our numbers, and even arrival date, changing up to the last moment. And from the moment we met Robert, our driver/guide at Entebbe, I knew we were in good hands. Ever cheerful, personable, untiring and well-informed, he put in long hours and great effort to take care of us on a whistle-stop week that covered Murchison, Kibale, Fort Portal and Queen Elizabeth National Park, and he was truly soon part of the family. Many of the roads are poor, and the distances great, but the sights and experiences more than make up for this - from sunrise over the Nile, waiting for the ferry to cross and keeping a wary eye on the brazen baboons looking for a breakfast in the vehicles, to getting within a few metres of wild Chimps as they calmly sit, regarding you, to laughing at young elephants splashing delightedly as they bathe in the Kazinga Channel. I have lived and travelled widely in Africa and this is the friendliest, most beautiful, amazing country... you should not miss it. My family had the holiday of a lifetime in Uganda, and I can thoroughly recommend Speke Uganda and Robert to take care of you there.
