Incredible!!
Speke Uganda Holidays was very easy to work with and they were able to accommodate my aggressive itinerary. They were always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. My guide Peter was amazing and he went out of his way to make sure that I saw as much as possible. He was very knowledgeable and I had a great time! All but one of the lodges were fabulous with all of the amenities and they were located in beautiful locations. There was one issue, but Tony the owner of company, made sure he personally took care of it.
I would highly recommend this company the are both very professional and reputable.
There was one issue with the transportation, but Tony was able to

Totally worth it
We did a two week tour of 6 of Uganda's National Parks with Speke Uganda in Dec'17 and would totally recommend them.
Prompt replies over the e-mail, Mitze made sure she addressed all our queries in a timely manner and addressed all of our concerns.
Our guide and driver , Hamid was very knowledgeable and was an excellent "animal spotter" - He knew his way across these parks and went out of his way to ensure we had a good time.
Thank you Speke Uganda for showing us your beautiful country.
Thanks,
Yuvi & Kim

Unforgettable journey with best organisation - we will never forget it!
We visited Uganda for three weeks over Christmas and New Year. We had a great time there with Speke Uganda Holidays and our different guides. It was a combined tour: We hiked through the Ruwenzoris during the first week and then enjoyed the country for two weeks on a leisurely safari through the beautiful national parks. Johnson and Andrew were our guides on the trek through the Rwenzori Mountains, which was culminating in the successful ascent of Margherita Peak. Without these two, we would not have reached the top. Many thanks to them and to our great chef and our helpful porters.
Our safari, which we did with friends, was super organized. We had wonderful accommodations. The gorilla trecking was one of the best experiences ever! Our driver guide on safari, Hamidu, told us a lot about life and people of Uganda. He was more a friend then a guide for us and we had a lot of fun together.
Many thanks to Speke Uganda Holidays for this wonderful trip! We enjoyed it very much and we will come back - to climb the Mount Elgon with Hamidu :-)

We got more than we expected!
Me and my husband spent 10 days travelling around in Uganda with our fantastic guide David (the master of avoiding potholes and bumps). He took really good care of us and he taught us a lot about the Ugandan culture, politics and lifestyle. Everything went smooth without any problems. We saw all the animals we expected to see and maybe a few more. We can warmly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays!

Adventure made easy with Speke Uganda Holidays
This was our second time using Speke Uganda Holidays and once again they did not disappoint. We typically don't use tour operators when we travel, except when doing wildlife/safari tours. But we were greeted at the airport by our guide and he made sure we had everything we needed from that point until our tour was complete. The safari tour was fantastic and we learned a lot about the culture and history of Uganda from Husein. He anticipated our needs and stopped along the way to pick up local delicacies for us to try - fruits, grasshoppers, etc. And the accommodations selected by Speke were top-notch. We fell in love with the country on this trip. We'd recommend the company to anyone traveling to Uganda.

Amazing, unique experience with expert guide and company. Thank you!
Speke Uganda Holidays and in particular our guide David made this truly amazing experience extra special. The trip was very well organised from beginning to end, the accommodation was lovely (and usually in a fabulous, scenic location), and everything was focused on making sure that our experience was the best it could possibly be. I cannot speak highly enough of Speke Uganda Holidays. A very professional company whose focus is on making sure that their clients enjoy their time in this lovely country. Our guide David clearly loves his country and is an amazing ambassador for Uganda and for Speke Uganda Holidays.

Four weeks private trip through Uganda
Our journey through Uganda took us almost all over the country, from Entebbe to the north to the Kidepo Valley National Park, to the south to Bwindi National Park and from there via Ssese Islands back to Entebbe. Everywhere we met nice people the accommodations and the food was very good and the whole trip was a great experience. Not only the organizer but also our very good driver-guide David had a big part in that. He has always responded to all our wishes and ideas, especially on safaris.
The absolute emotional highlight was the encounter with the mountain gorillas in the Bwindi National Park. Even the tour to the gorillas, over streams and dense vegetation is an experience. To experience a gorilla family with playing baby then up close in about 2-4 m distance is deeply impressive and unforgettable.

Ugandan Safari
A wonderful mix of safari and culture, including national parks and visits to local villages. Nelson our guide was brilliant and couldn't do enough to make the whole experience amazing.
Very happy customer!

Best experience I have ever had, top of my holiday list
This whole safari exceeded my expectations beyond belief. I have been on several safaris before but this one stood head and shoulders above all the others. All the information that we got and had during the tour was given early and clearly. Planning was impeccable. Our driver was fantastic. He introduced us to things that we would not have seen or tasted before, yes he bought us food from the markets, but it was unbelievable. This has been without a doubt a holiday that has changed my outlook. I will be returning to this fantastic country as soon as I can. Worth every penny.

The most spectacular trip! Wonderful an highly recomendable
Thanks to the great organisation of Speke Uganda and our best guide David we had very exciting but also relaxing holidays in Ruanda and Uganda. We felt very safe all times, learned so much about the countries and saw so many animals and beautiful countrysides. Even though the roads have been rough sometimes we enjoyed the ride, the lovely view outside the window and the interesting talks with David, who was always able to answer our questions and discuss all different themes with us. It felt like talking to a friend. Accomodation was gorgeous. We enjoyed the lodges that have been chosen for us. Service, cleanliness and food have been excelent. And on top of all this the gorilla tracking was a sucsess! We won't ever forget this adventure and these awesome animals. Please all come and visit :) !
