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.

Quality and reliability their top priority - Keep it up
Excellent communication and updates, reliable services provided, they exceeded our expectations and the tour guide was excellent and well conversant with the game park and the different animals that we saw. The boat ride, a memory that will forever stick in the kids minds.

Holiday in Uganda
In our vacation with Speke Uganda Holidays I a lot of fun. The tour-guide, Jacub, was very polite and thoughtful, at every beautiful view he paused and gave us time to shoot pictures. Also we could listen to our own music and fortunately he was also happy with our choice of music. There was a positive vibe from him during the trip and his enthusiasm was good.
We (my friends and I) put together our own program for the whole trip and that was very cool. The organization was very helpful and recommended different must-see-spots. All together we were 8 days on holidays in Uganda which was perfect.
The thing which I liked most was the Chimpanzee tracking, which I can recommend to everybody!
I hope you have as much fun with Speke Uganda Holidays as I had!

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.

A wonderful experience in a fabulous country .
From being picked up at the airport to being dropped back off again, Michael my guide for the week was a pleasure to be with, his knowledge of the country and the area's we were visiting were second to none (even telling me the best spot to sit for taking pictures on a boat ride) and with eyes like an eagle saw some wonderful photo opportunities I would never have seen!! a camera should be ready at all times!! As a solo traveler it was very important that I felt safe and this was the case at all times, the one and only time there was a problem it was with accommodation and within the hour we were on route to another lodge, communication between Michael, myself and management was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble. Uganda is a magical country and there is still so much more to see, I would definitely love to return and will certainly use Speke and have no hesitation in recommending to others, a huge thank you to Michael and well done to Tony for having such a fantastic team.

We were treated like angels. Service was timely and spectacular.
Our safari was to the Murchison falls national park. Being the first time I was taking a safari, I was skeptical on what it all entailed and naturally asked many questions to which the tour operators' staff responded politely. The operators team was quite helpful in helping us prepare for the safari and were kind to us all through the trip. We benefited from the patience and jolliness our tour guide and up to now we still laugh at some of his jokes. I would surely recommend Speke Uganda holidays to anyone planning a safari in the great lakes region.

unforgettable
We booked Speke Uganda Holidays without any reference, only by searching the internet. There was something - I don't know what it really was - I thought this will be the best company for our trip. So we had many contacts with Tony (the chief of the company). We prefered some special Lodges, and some special places to see - that was no problem, they were very flexible and consumer friendly. Every question we had before our trip was answered within a maximum of 2 days. Before the departure, we got every information that was necessary.
We had an excellent driver, Hamid. We reached our destination very safely and on time. He gave us a lot of information about the people, the history, the animals and the whole country. There is nothing to criticize. Many thanks for the great journey with unforgettable impressions.
