Amazing planning, great accommodations, great car. Super fun guide.
Speke did a fantastic job from the first day we reached out. They put together a clean programme, with fun activities, reasonable amounts of travel and high quality accommodations. Highly recommend.

Most exciting, most beautiful trip
My friends and I had 2 wonderful weeks traveling around in Ruanda and Uganda. Our guide David took care of us at all times, driving carefully even though the streets have been rough sometimes ("african massage") and giving us the opportunity to ask all the questions we had (and we had many ;)). We felt absolutely save all times! The lodges we stayed at were lovely, clean and the staff was very, very friendly. Great food, too! It really felt like holidays!
Most special of course was to experience the nature: Beautiful landscape, the rainforest and amazing animals we haven't seen before. The highlight was the gorilla tracking: quite exhausting but worth every step! Meeting these huge and kind animals in their natural environment was an experience we'll never ever forget!
Me and my friends highly recommend to do a trip like that!!! Speke Uganda and Diamir Reisen organized it perfectly and we want to say "thank you". This trip gave so much to us! We are Africa-Fans now and forever

Good mixture of land and people (e.g. Rukararwe) and wildlife observation (chimpanzee and gorilla)
Tour fully corresponded to the announcement of the organizer (Gebeco) and our ideas of an eventful Africa trip.
Very good tour service by guide (Paul Ssesanga) and driver (Jotham Kasamba)

A wonderful insight into the life and the landscape of the East African countries Uganda and Rwanda
Under the tour header „Fascinating Uganda and Rwanda“ German tour operator Venter Tours organized a mesmerizing, personalized adventure for my wife and I, lead by local tour company Speke Uganda Holidays, tailored to our wishes and needs.
Upon arrival in Entebbe, we were thrilled to meet our personal guide and driver Husein who impressed with his deep founded knowledge of East- African culture and way of life. He personally guided us through terrain, people and customs for the following 14 days, ensuring that we emerged fully in our surroundings.
In this Husein was courteous and professional, safely guiding us through the many highlights of this journey whilst allowing is the freedom to see and process the many impressions. Next to the awe-inspiring visit to the mountain gorillas we had the chance to climb the peak of Mt Sabinyo, a personal bucket list item.
We cannot thank Speke Uganda Holidays as well as Venter Tours Deutschland enough for the immaculate planning of all parts of this journey, including activities and accommodation. Most importantly we would like to express our gratitude to Husein whose care and diligence contributed tremendously to the fond memories we take with us.

It was a great adventure with a wonderful guide
We were spoiled from the very first moment we came into the country. Charles was a wonderful caring und very friendly person. He took care of everything, we had wonderful talks and he tried to answer every question. Uganda is worth going there and we never felt uncomfortable. Our guide tried his best (and never gave up) to show us the wildlife and we saw nearly every animal we wanted to.
10 days are much to short to get a good impression of the country. Up to now it isn´ t a very touristic spot and hopefully it will stay authentic.
Meeting the chimps and the gorillas is outstanding! After that experience you will never think of them as just animals - they are so close to us!
If there was one thing I could complain about, I would say: after a while I found the lunchpackages a little bit boring.

Excellent tour company which is by your side every step of the way
What a trip! The main goal of our Uganda holidays was to see the Gorillas, of course. But this country has so much more to offer. Thanks to the people in the office I managed to put a trip together with stops I wanted to see and lodges/hotels I wanted to stay in. All of them were high standard and the hospitality was next to none. Our driver Tony was super-friendly, a very good driver and never tired to share even more knowledge about his country with us. Also, the price-performance ratio for our trip was very good. Only one advice: Go to Uganda and do it with Speke!

We could always rely on our guide in order to be safe and to be well informed.
We were overwhelmed by the beauty of the country and its enormous variety of animals. The route we took to get through Uganda and the National Parks we were in are really spectacular. The service provided in the lodges we stayed in was fabulous, although you could offer more regional meals to offer us opportunities to taste the Ugandian cuisine. However we didn't like the last two days when we were at lake Mutanda, had to go the whole way back to take part in the gorilla tracking and the golden monkeys tracking and after that we still had to go to Rwakobo Rock Lodge. The part of the group that tracked the gorillas were back at 12.30 p.m., but those who were looking for the golden monkeys didn't come back before 3.30 p.m. There shouldn't be anything else to be done on a day with a schedule like that. And our stay at Rwakobo Rock Lodge was just for passing the night. The place however is far too beautiful as to not having the time to enjoy it.

OUTSTANDING in every way!
We would like to thank you for an amazing experience. Your company went above and beyond to make us feel safe during these crazy covid times. Vehicle was immaculate and sanitized daily and our guide, Vincent, made sure we sanitized each and every time before entering vehicle. Vincent was a wonderful guide who was so knowledgeable and a safe driver. We had such a nice time getting to know Vincent who is so kind and will be a forever friend. We had one small issue with one of the hotels in which the owner of Speke Holidays made sure to rectify immediately and went above and beyond. I can’t say enough about your company and staff.
Thank you for the memories and making our vacation amazing.

Well organised, skilled tour operator. Will book with this agency again!
I had an awesome time in Uganda. I had booked a 10days Safari incl. Murchison Falls and Gorilla Tracking. The tour was well organised, our guide had an anwser to every question and spotted animals even in the most difficult situations, e.g. a tiger, well-hidden in a bush, while driving. Nature is nature, so animal sightings cannot be guaranteed, but our guide was eager to ensur that we saw all relevant animals incl. the "Big5" and we did. Our car was very comfortable and clean. The lodges we stayed at were also very good. I would book again with Speke Uganda Holidays.
