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!

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 :-)

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

Every thing worked how a tourist could wish it in a country like Ugand, Ruanda.
We had a very good guide with Paul and a very nice driver with Moses. Both gave us savety, help, informations, safarispots, fotospots, happy and friendly time together. Lodges were all very nice, but we wished to have good roomsaves available. Safari was wonderful, also off course the gorilla trekks. We hope they have a good future and also the whole nationalparks with landscape and other animals alwell. But also we wish the best to all the lovely people we met in Uganda and Ruanda. It was a wonderful holiday. Thank you all!

Great tour of Uganda and Rwanda
I recently went on a 14 day fixed schedule tour of Uganda and Rwanda with Speke. At first I was a little nervous about choosing them as they are in Kampala and don't take credit cards (I'm from the USA). But I went ahead and reserved with them and I'm very glad I did. The itinerary was excellent - worthwhile destinations and just the right pace, not rushed and not too relaxed. It was an excellent value tour as well, being significantly less expensive than similar tours run by US and British agencies (the same itinerary staying at the same lodgings). Our guide Paul was superb - well informed, very organized, always attentive to the clients' needs and spoke flawless english. The hotels were more than adequate with clean, private bathrooms and decent food. Several were in outstanding, scenic locations. The wi-fi internet was often marginal, but I think this comes with the region. Overall, I would highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays to western travellers.

Extraordinarily good safari vacation
Speke organised a 12 day safari vacation to the national parks of western Uganda for my wife and I. We were most impressed by the organisation and by the excellent driver/guide, Michael, who took such good care to ensure our comfort and safety throughout, while ensuring we enjoyed amazing game sightings. The abundance of animal and bird life was truly astounding while the special highlights were the gorilla and chimpanzee tracking which provided truly memorable experiences. We can strongly recommend Speke for a wonderful tour.

17-days western Uganda & northwestern Rwanda
A pleasant and efficient e-mail planning dialogue with Speke's Tony Mulinde resulted in a tailor-made safari fully meeting our wishes such as a no-stress slow and easy travel pace, medium comfort accommodation, multiple nights per location, 2 chimp and 2 gorilla trekkings, daily walking activities and ample relax phases.
Michael did a great job both as a reliable and careful driver as well as a friendly and open minded guide sharing his wide knowledge with us, answering our endless questions, adapting flexibly to individual wishes and constantly caring for our well being.
