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.

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)

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

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 :) !

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.

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.

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.
