It was a very professionell organized tour with Speke Uganda Holidays with a perfect guide.
We enjoyed two fantastic weeks with Speke Uganda Holidays.
The organisation of our tour was perfect. We had a very professional guide Paul. From him we learned a lot of interesting facts about Uganda.
This makes our trip to a special experience.
We can recommend Speke Uganda Holidays and our guide Paul. Many thanks again and all the best for you !

an incredibly beautiful experience that we will remember for a long time thanks to Ronald and David.
We spent our honeymoon in Uganda. It was beautiful and really fun with Ronald and David. We learned a lot about the people and animals in Uganda. How they live and were even allowed to visit a school on request. We have taken Uganda into our hearts and will never forget this vacation. Thank you!

Amazing Tour & Guide
We had an amazing stay at Rwanda and really enjoyed our time, the beautiful nature, the wildlife (esp. Gorillas) and having such a nice and experienced tour guide, Charles. He could provide us with much information about the country and the nature. We were picked-up always in time and were driven safely and comfortable to all places.
Thank you for this lovely experience!

Outstanding.
We are a group of 12 bushwalking friends from Sydney, Australia.
We have just finished an 8 day safari with Ibra and Emmanuel (2 vehicles). They drive us on an 1,800km circuit of Uganda, visiting Murchison NP, Kibale NP, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Mburo NP.
We have seen everything that was promised. Knocked the Big 5 off in the first 24 hours!!
Chimp trekking, Gorilla trekking, Tree Climbing Lions.
We loved learning about the culture and customs of the country from our two fabulous guides. I really could not fault this tour.

Best vacation ever
I planned this trip with my husband and our 2 adult daughters mainly to visit the famous gorillas of Bwindi National park.
But the whole journey was absolutely amazing. Our guide Julius was the best ambassador of his beautiful country.
We experienced not only the amazing encounter with gorillas and chimpanzees, but loved the meet the people in the community. We visited the village of the Badwa, had the chance to see a hospital.
The people of Uganda were very welcoming. We would love to come back, because this beautiful country has so much to offer.
Excellent
From the moment we arrived in Uganda our guide Julius did his utmost to see to it that we experienced the most from his country. We were briefed at every stage about what was going to happen, what to wear and bring for the differing weather conditions and fabulous trips we enjoyed. OMG from Murchison falls to the gorillas of Bwindi. This tour surpassed our expectations. It certainly has been the most memorable holiday of a lifetime. Such lush vegetation and happy people always smiling and waving as we passed by in our sturdy jeep. Our lodges were a mix of eco to relaxing. All in beautiful settings where we could see unusual birds and animals. Julius and Guillieme made a great team always clean and smart. Excellent English and knowledge on the animals, birds and their environments. They answered any question we asked about their country. We had a go at cutting tea, planting vanilla and grinding coffee in the traditional manner. Tasting banana gin from the hilarious Mr Banana man and the incredible crafters weaving grasses. They always seemed to know when it was time for a toilet stop, (much appreciated). Accommodation was always clean comfortable and some even offered free laundry. Food always good. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d get so close to Rhinos, Chimpanzees and best of all those peaceful gentle giants the Gorillas in their own environments. From waving us off at the airplane to making sure we were assisted when we arrived at Entebbe for an extra excursion if we wanted it can’t thank Julius and Guillieme enough. They always carried our bags and went the extra mile to make our tour the holiday of a life time. Thankyou Speke and especially Julius and Guillieme. Xxxx

A fabulous experience
We had an amazing trip to Uganda with Julius, our guide from Speke. Julius was so knowledgeable and professional and we would definitely recommend him to friends doing the same tour. Everything went according to plan and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife and each of the parks were so different. Although the highlights were the gorillas, chimps and lions, we saw so much more that opened our eyes to the natural world. We've travelled to over 80 countries and Uganda is now in our top 3 countries for an amazing all round travel experience.

David was our guide and he was fantastic! Told us so much about Uganda.
We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and had an amazing time. The wild life herds are huge, more than we've seen growing up in Zimbabwe or South Africa. We saw more leopards than we've seen in our entire life. We just walked calmly alongside the gorillas, watching them live and enjoy life. The food was amazing! So fresh and full of taste. The people were friendly and welcoming. It truly was a wonderful whirlwind of a holiday. Due to COVID checks and all that back then, Speke had someone come from the clinic to do our COVID test at our hotel before we flew out. Little things like that, they took care of the details so we could relax and enjoy Uganda.

Fantastic visit, unforgettable experience
We had a very short trip to Uganda to visit the mountain gorillas as part of a bigger trip to Africa. The experience was truly magical and unforgettable. Our driver and guide Warren was excellent. He had plentiful knowledge about the area and was happy to answer our questions and spoke very good English. He was always punctual and managed well on the chaotic Ugandan roads. We thought the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest felt like very sustainable tourism. The gorillas and our safety were top priority. We found the gorillas fairly quickly and got to spend an hour watching their behaviours and saw many gorillas. It was absolutely amazing!! Communication with Speke Uganda prior to the trip was a little slow and not a lot of information was given except from a basic itinerary, but this didn't phase us as everything worked out well and there was Warren holding a sign with out name when we landed at the airport! Although the trip was expensive for 5 days, a big chunk of this was for the gorilla permit which gets redirected into the surrounding community and to the trackers/rangers helping to protect the gorilla populations. We would definitely use the company again.

Thank you Speke.
The Kigali city tour and Rwanda gorilla trek were well organised and incredible! Julius our guide was very informative and friendly. He was also very helpful - he went out of his way to help when I was unwell. Totally recommend Julius and Speke. Thank you!
