Speke Holidays provided us with a long-awaited dream holiday in Uganda.
This trip was unique and fulfilled a long-held dream of ours: to see mountain gorillas in the wild.
We were amazed by the diversity of the country, the beautiful national parks, and the high density of wildlife.
The Kazinga Channel, in particular, was a dream come true—seeing so many animals together at the water's edge. All the experiences described in the itinerary came true. We saw shoebill storks, tree-climbing lions, leopards, and many other animals.
And the chimpanzee and gorilla tracking sessions were the most emotional highlight of the trip for us.
Uganda is a beautiful country with friendly people and truly the green pearl of Africa.
Speke Holidays did an excellent job organizing our two-week tour of Uganda. The route took us through the most important national parks.
The accommodations were very well chosen, and the food was always excellent.
With our experienced driver Hussein, we always felt safe. He always steered the Toyota Land Cruiser perfectly through the sometimes difficult routes.
Our guide Ian told us a great deal about the history of Uganda, the customs and traditions of the people, and was able to explain all the animals and birds to us. He is very empathetic and we had a good relationship with him and also had a lot of fun.

Wonderful trip with Speke Holidays with our (birding)guide Julius, a great companion on our trip.
Wonderful trip through beautiful Uganda, where we had a great mix of cultural and nature activities. We really loved the diversity in the places we visited. We visited the main attractions and parks of Uganda from east to north and then to the west (so counter clock-wise) and that proved to be a very good approach.
The trip was very well planned and organised by our local travel agent BMS Travellers.
It was great to travel with Speke Holidays and especially our professional guide Julius, a very knowledgeable nature and especially birding guide and a very friendly and care taking travel companion.
The personal interest of Speke Holidays’ manager Tony was also unique and well appreciated.
We highly recommend all mentioned above for your Uganda Safari experience.

David, my driverguide is an excellent friendly and professional tour operator
My safaritrip through Uganda was an amazing and beautiful expirience. It was perfectly organized, the lodges are in all places very good with friendly staff David , my guide was shown and told me things to know about people and nature. I was deep impressed about living standards in communities and villages . So I hope , that tourismus will bring jobs and money to the poor people and many guests will come to see that beautiful nature in Ugenda I had many emotional moments, and may be I will come back!

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.
I-yu and Robert
