6 out of 5 stars for Vincent
WOW!!
Our 10 day Best of Uganda lodge safari (10-19 Oct 2025) was booked through Speke's agent partner World Expeditions in Australia.
Despite having experienced memorable safaris through Southern Africa our Uganda trip has been the best so far.
Expertly led by Vincent, we were blown away by the sheer number of animals we saw and each day's experience surpassed the previous.
The lodges/staff/meals were excellent and the program had a good mix of game drives, boat cruises and on foot adventures (Speke even surprised us with a bonus boat cruise on Lake Bunyonyi, thank you!).
Highest praise for Vincent, world's best game spotter (even when also having to concentrate on driving over rugged roads) and a most experienced leader. Vincent went the extra mile: getting up early to register us for the gorilla trek (so lucky we only had to trek 30 minutes to get to our gorilla group!!); organising late check out so we could shower after our gorilla trek; getting us first on the boats so we could have prime viewing seats; taking us to restaurants where we could experience local cuisine...just to name a few of the extras he did for us.
Thank you Vincent and Speke for a most memorable Uganda journey.

There is no better tour guide than Kasamba!!
We had a life changing experience while in Uganda and huge part of that was because of our guide Kasamba!!! He always had the biggest smile on his face and you could really tell he loves what he does! We learned so much from him and he brought us to the best places to learn more about the area. Can't thank him enough for the best part of our trip!!

they really care about their guests
We have been guided by Robert Matovu.
He is an excellent tour guide and we had a very good time with him. What I appreciate very much is, that he was always with us when we were sitting for lunch or dinner together. He was part of the group and we liked his humor and his cute german dialect. He was eager to provide as much as possible from the Ugandan wild life and also was the one to care for any logistic challenges.
I really would like to go on tour with him again.
All in all my trip through Uganda was the most exciting experience ever ... and - believe it - I have seen a lot in the recent 50 years!!

There was nothing we couldn’t ask, David was always there for us with the right answer or the right action. He gave us the best experience we had in a long time. We can only recommend!

Fantastic service
We booked a 10 day safari for 5 people, which exceeded all our expectations from start to finish. Our driver/guide David was excellent and helped to make the experience special- everything was calmly and efficiently organised, with clear and helpful communication- all our questions were always answered and our needs were always met in a courteous and sensitive manner. The itinerary was full on but never rushed and the truck was always spotless, with a fridge full of water for us. We saw more than we’ve ever seen on other safaris to Kenya and S Africa, the range and amount of wildlife was amazing and the landscapes were fantastic. David helped spot animals that we couldn’t see and we managed to have unique experiences every day- seeing leopards and taking time to watch a hunting lioness were particularly special. All the lodges were excellent with the set menu approach for lunch/dinner with options working very well and the breakfasts which were cooked to order were superb. Although the roads are often bumpy, David’s careful driving meant that even long journeys weren’t too exhausting and we always arrived at our destination in good time.
Our gorilla trekking day in Bwindi was amazing and a wonderful highlight of the holiday, the organisation was fantastic and although the trek itself was challenging, our guide Joy and the rangers were wonderful.
Thank you for a fabulous experience, we will look to book with Speke again.
Petras dream to be in Uganda
We have to say thank you for this trip! It was my dream since I was a little girl to visit Uganda and of course to see the Gorillas in nature. We picked up by Sam and he was 12 days our private guide, driver and helpful hand.
All lodges and people we met were so friendly and we wouldn't miss every time we spend there. We will come back to visit Uganda again.
My special experience was the last big tour to the Gorillas.....hard work for myself and I will never forget in my lifetime.

Excellent trekking holiday through Rwanda
My husband and I fully enjoyed every moment on our primate tour through Rwanda. The country is beautiful and we always felt welcome and safe. Our tour guide was awesome, always on time and communicated extremely well everything we needed to know and do. He always made us feel at home and like nothing was too much. Our land cruiser troupe was always clean and spacious. I will say you don't go very fast far quickly as the country speed limits are 50km/hr. Starting with the genocide memorial was beneficial and moving and gave a good insight into the making of the Rwandans. The accommodation was 5 star, as was the food. The personalised approach to accommodation and food was way better than I could have imagined. We saw all the primates we wanted to and the gorillas were an out of this world experience. My husband was not overly interested in this holiday but it has changed his whole attitude on travel (positively). It is all he talked about for 2 months!!!! We are not regular hikers but trained somewhat and survived the mountains. I can not thank Speke tours and the beautiful people of Rwanda for the experience and sharing their country..

Professional and caring
I had a great time during my trip and am so grateful to Innocent for the care and effort he put into making my trip an absolute success.
The trip as recommended by Speke was well balanced, adapted to my areas of interest and will leave a lasting impact. The properties that Speke chose were high quality and good value for money, and made for a truly exceptional experience.
Innocent was a great guide: punctual and consummate professional, attentive and caring. I'm a solo female traveler and Innocent was particularly attentive to my safety, even going the extra mile and joining in on excursions when he felt it was necessary to keep a watchful eye on me.
All in, a fantastic trip and I will certainly book again with Speke
