Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
Thanks to Speedway Safaris for taking me and my wife around Uganda on our 15 day holiday safari tour. We liked the rhinos at Ziwa rhino ranch but the top of the falls in Murchison falls national park reminded of the famous Victoria falls. The roaring that creates a misty atmosphere is just unbelievable. We visit the falls at a time some Uganda tour operators had gone there for their press conference aimed at saving it from the planned power dam. If this plan is effected, Uganda would have lost rare a vital treasurer. From Murchison having done a game drive a cruise on the Nile, we headed for Kibale forest, seeing chimps and other primates confirmed further that Uganda is seated on wildlife treasurers that should be conserved for ages. The Sempaya hot springs in Semuliki, the Kazinga channel boat voyage plus driving through the large Ishasha sector in search of the tree climbing lions, which we indeed saw will never come off our safari memories.
Our guide Richard Tayebwa is so professional that he handled us beyond our expectations, very caring and full of wildlife knowledge. Finally, the peak of our safari was the gorilla trekking encounter in Bwindi impenetrable national park. We visited a gorilla family unit under the leadership of a huge silverback that was so protective of its members. Seeing adults and youngsters play was much joyous. Our trip end at Lake Bunyonyi where relaxed for 2 days, the views of the lake island were spectacular. The accommodation during our trip were well chosen and they fulfilled all our dietary and sleeping preferences. During our longer trip, we discovered that Uganda is rich in wildlife, birds, nice weather, magnificent water bodies and above all very hospitable people everywhere we went. If you confirm a trip with speedway, it is advisable to request them allocate Richard to your holiday tour, you will appreciate me after the tour.

Excellent option to organise Gorilla Tracking tours
Highly recommend them. I didn’t see them splashed all over on Google, but found them to be trustworthy and responsive. Kiganda was the person I dealt with and he coordinated everything. He managed to bring down the price of a typical 3day Gorilla Tracking tour (budget hotel stays) as per my humble request (since my budget was super limited) by changing from full board to B&B, and also instead of providing me transport, bought me tickets on executive coaches while ensuring I was dropped off and picked up always, promptly (and organised all drop-offs and pick-ups). Was worth the compromises since the main highlight was to see the gorillas! He and his colleagues were incredibly kind, hospitable and always made sure I was well-looked after. Don’t think twice - use these guys if you’re here next time!

Our Uganda Honeymoon was Above Average
I and my wife would like to express our utmost thanks to Speedway Safaris for our organizing our honeymoon holiday tour that met all our expectations. A month to our trip to Uganda, I booked a safari for 10 days with this company. I had to hide the whole itinerary from wife so that everything on a safari could be a surprise. I only made her aware that we would visit Uganda in a month before our trip in October 2018 but I kept her unaware of the whole trip programme.
Kiganda put everything together into a greater tour. Thanks to our driver Christopher for not disappointing us. You became a wonderful friend on safari. All the activities being surprises to my wife, she enjoyed everything to my amusement. Thanks to Speke Hotel Kampala, Paraa lodge, Primate Lodge kibale, Enganzi Lodge and Silverback Lodge for your decent accommodations and delicious meals. Bravo. My choice of speedway Safaris was a right one and I will always use it once on return trips Uganda.

Great White Water Rafting in Uganda
We had a 1-day white water Rafting tour from Kampala to Jinja prepared by Speedway Safaris. Thanks to the excellent arrangement. Transport and lunch were fine as well as the activity itself which was memorable. We got this company from Google while at our hotel room in Kampala. We called and talked to one Kiganda who sent us an itinerary immediately and we approved it out rightly. He later came to Sheraton Hotel for payment so that the trip be done on following day. We were picked up the next day by our driver one Robert and we reached Jinja in time. We spent morning and afternoon hours on the up-roaring River Nile waters. Thanks speedway for making such a short day tour a great one. Any person can use their services for tours in Uganda.

Speedway Safaris Oragnised our Rwanda-Uganda trip well
I and my daughter had a 2 day gorilla tour in Uganda going through Kigali. We flew from South Africa, landed in Kigali early morning, picked by our guide Chris, transferred to Bwindi in Uganda. The next day we did gorilla tracking and then returned to Kigali for our 8:00pm flight. Thanks Speedway Safaris for a simple itinerary that enabled us see mountain gorillas which we had never seen before and were our life dream. An informative Chris guided our safari well and we appreciated his punctuality in executing the trip. We returned to Kigali at 5:00pm and we were able to wait for our flight 3 hours later. Any traveler can use this safari company.
