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!!

Impeccable service and professionalism
We had the best guide David who showed us the beauty of Uganda through the most professional, enthousiastic and flexible service. 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

`reliable, informative and expertly operated.
From start to finish our Uganda experience was amazing. Speke Tours arranged everything for us. We were picked up on time from Entebbe airport by a polite and friendly guide. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and on the drive to the Hotel in Kampala he gave us a lot of interesting information. Every evening he would meet us to go through the itenary for the next day. We stayed in 5 different hotels/lodges and if we needed packed lunch or anything for our trips it was all arranged by our guide. On the Safari drives we saw an abundance of wildlife and he was expert at spotting the more hidden animals like the lions. He communicated well with the other staff like porters, rangers and guides and made sure our needs were met at all times. We are in our late 60s and he arranged the shortest Gorilla trek for us (still 2 hours each way but worth every step) which was one of the best experiences of my life. Words cannot explain the feeling of getting up close with these beautiful creatures. If anyone is thinking of visiting this wonderful country I would definitely recommend it and Speke Tours did not let us down.
Thank you Charles M for looking after us and making us feel welcome and safe in your country.

Amazing trip and wonderful staff
I recently as part of my trip to East Africa spent a few days in Uganda. My primary tour agent leveraged Speke Uganda / Rwanda Holidays to make all transportation, flights, accommodations and other bookings in Uganda. As soon as I landed in Entebbe and navigated to the luggage carousel I was met by Speke’s representative and then met John who was my driver for the next three days. First off, John was so kind and simply amazing! He even went along with me to Mabamba swamp and UWEC, kindly serving as my photographer and basically a new friend that I enjoyed my journey with. After Entebbe I took a small flight to Kihihi airstrip and met up with Nelson, another amazing driver from Speke. He was so fun and light hearted that the drive to Buhoma lodge went so quick! He was so helpful and made sure I got to the gorilla trek on time (And explained what to expect) and he was there with a smile once I returned from the trek. Speke even went above and beyond during my return flight to Entebbe and onward flight to Kenya, as I was a little unsure how to navigate domestic to international gates at the airport. Once again a Speke representative met me when I landed in Entebbe and in lock step took me through everything until I got to my international flight gate.
I wish I had more time in Uganda as I know I barely scratched the surface in the 5 days I was there.
As a solo female traveler safety is always my top priority and everyone at Speke made me feel safe and comfortable through my journey.
I recommend Speke Uganda / Rwanda Holidays for your future trips and experiences in Uganda and Rwanda!
