5/5

I am a photographer and I was on a trip to photograph chimps in the jungle. Speke Uganda Holidays handled all the logistics of my trip in impeccable way. Very friendly, prompt at replying at my emails and always willing to help and make my trip smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour operator as very reliable and trustworthy.

We are travelling the globe since 35+ years. But this journey to Uganda/Rwanda was for sure one of the 3 best vacations we ever had!

5/5

Meeting Tony on the flight to Uganda was the beginning of our great experience with Speke Uganda Holidays. How well we could work out the last minute details of payment was great evidence of a good business man who could also understand the unique circumstances of our very specialized package. The time in the Murchison Park was a great highlight for our group which needed this time to unwind from the intense time we had just come from in north west Uganda. Thanks for picking us up in the north and bringing us to the airport, with such a great times viewing such abundant and beautiful creations of God, who made all this possible.

Experience of a lifetime
5/5

The communication with Speke Uganda Holidays was excellent. All our Emails were answered quickly and to our full satisfaction. We were met at the airport in Entebbe by our friendly guide and driver. The vehicle was okay and there was always fresh water. I enjoyed the various type of accommodation: from simple to luxury. The food was outstanding and tasty (with a very few exceptions). How I miss those small sweet bananas! The people of Uganda are beautiful and friendly. I would have liked to interact a little more. It was also interesting to chat to some of our hosts, e.g. at Kluges Guest Farm. I loved the colourful markets. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful and varies a lot. I have never seen elsewhere so many impressive lakes. One of my highlights were Murchison Falls NP with the cruise on the Victoria Nile and, of course, the mountain gorillas at Bwindi Impenetrable NP. There was a baby in the group which entertained us humans and it was sooo cute to watch!!! The chimps at Kibale Forest NP were amazing to see too and I did not know about their sleeping habits before I got there (nests in the trees!). I had underestimated the state of the roads (I have travelled quite a bit in Southern Africa) and we often arrived late with just an hour before dinner. We spent hours / days driving on bumpy roads. At Murchison River Lodge (beautiful), we arrived twice at dusk and left twice at dawn. No chance for their pool. In retrospect, I would have skipped the 4 days in Rwanda and rather extended my time in Uganda to stay longer at some of the places we visited or experience another NP. The birdlife is abundant and our guide knew them all! At Queen Victoria NP we were hoping to see more wildlife. There are often no boundaries between the park and human settlement. There are farm animals within the park. Overpopulation in both countries is certainly an issue. I was also hoping to learn something about the current political situation when it comes to gay people in Uganda, but this was a no-go-area for our guide. All in all, it was a fantastic holiday for my husband and myself of which we had dreamed for years. We are so glad that we made our dream come true. Thank you Tony Mulinde & team!

Great Experience in unspoilt wilderness
5/5

The whole trip was very pleasurable and well organized. We were met at the airport by Tony the MD making us very welcome. Our trip was mainly to Kidepo national park, the journey was long and the roads were bumpy in places but well worth it. Our guide Hamid kept us well informed about the places we drove through and the wildlife we encountered along the way, as well as expertly keeping the vehicle on the road. Our accommodation at Nga'Moru Wilderness Camp (don't let the name fool you) was very nice given its location right on the edge of the park - very effective solar heated shower! The highlight was Hamid tracking down a leopard one afternoon even though it was hiding in some long grass. Most days started and ended with brilliant game drives in the national park itself. We fell in love with the place and we highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays as nothing was too much too much ask (well delivered).

My experience as an independent traveler with Speke was awesome from start to finish.
5/5

My initial contact with Speke Uganda Holidays was an internet one. They were, in fact, the first company to be honest with me regarding the cost of the gorilla viewing permit, a lowered amount of $350 because it was the rainy season.

Not only were they my safari company, they also set up many other excursions for me. My primary purpose in going to Uganda was to visit a girl I had sponsored for over six years. They arranged my transport to the school. When I couldn't get a reply from the hotel I had selected in Kampala, they intervened and made sure that was satisfactorily arranged. They helped me with the beginning of my trip until the very end. In fact, I'm sure I would not have had the memorable trip I had without their help.

My driver Robert always put my safety and comfort paramount. I never had to worry about anything. I knew that the whole Speke Uganda Holidays team was always working to make sure that I had the fullest experience possible. They were not only my safari group, they became dear friends that I will cherish for life. Although Uganda is truly a wonderful country that any tourist would find well worth a trip, it is the people that I met there, of which the Speke Uganda Holidays is tops on that list, that make it such a trip of a lifetime. I would trust the people at Speke Uganda Holidays with my life, and you can too.

I had so many memorable experiences in Uganda that I will not enumerate them. Feel free to contact me if I can give you any information regarding a trip to Uganda or can give you further information about my friends at Speke Uganda Holidays.

Spectacular holidays with Speke Uganda Holidays in Uganda and Ruanda
5/5

First of all we want to thank Michael Jakob in Germany and Tony Mulinde in Uganda from Speke Holidays for the informative previews by phone and email to plan our individuell roundtrip through Uganda and Ruanda. We got what we paid for.
The whole roundtrip was very well organized, well prepared and we had memorable holidays. Our guide was well trained and friendly and our car was under perfect conditions.
Many thanks again to Jakob, Tony and to our guide Hamidu.

Speke Uganda arranged an amazing tour with a very capable guide. Perfect organisation.
5/5

Speke Uganda is a company which is always there for its clients. From our first inquiry until our flight back home Tony and his team did a great job. Questions were answered within hours so that we got the impression that the company would sit next door and not thousands of miles away. When we met our guide Michael and the owner of Speke, Tony, in Uganda we saw that these men are living for their job and the wellbeing of their clients. The tour through beautiful Uganda was simply amazing. We got a very good impression of country and people, had many interesting discussions with Michael, stayed in beautiful and well-organized lodges with a always welcoming stuff and saw many animals we never saw before (it was our 5th visit to Africa). So thank you again Tony and stuff for a holiday we will never forget and will remember all our lives. I am recommending Speke Uganda and a trip to Uganda whole-heartedly!!
