Everything perfect, absolutely recommendable
I am responsible for the reader journeys of Südostschweiz and have organized a group trip. We were 18 people and all totally thrilled. The accommodations were simply chosen in advance (due to price) and met almost all our requirements. We were traveling with three jeeps, and the drivers spoke very good German and could tell us a lot about the country and the people. They all drove very carefully and forward-looking, we always felt very safe. Uganda is beautiful and we will be back. Thanks, Ivan, Robert and David, you were great.

Vulcanoes and Gorillas in three Phantastic Countries
It was our second trip to Uganda with Speke. after having seen and visited Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth national parcs in 2014 we decided to come back as our children are now old enough to see Gorillas as well. And as our first trip to Uganda was already perfect it was no question to have a totally well organized trip again with Speke - no hassle, no issues, just enjoy the trip.
After an excellent preparation, taking into account my/our ideas and Speke's suggestions we had two great weeks with the family in Uganda and Rwanda and I had a further week extension on my own in DR Congo and Rwanda. And any concerns that might exist thinking of the destination were totally unnecessary - no issues at all. Speke told us before that they will only send us to places, if they feel these are hassle free and so they did, even declining ideas I had had before, which was not considered safe and thus Speke advised against it - and we followed their recommendations. All in all a very pleasant experience and no reason to worry about the safety for this region.
The lodges: we asked for middle class (budget) and got perfect lodges, that Tony and his team had choosen, far beyond middle class, :-) all authentic, all fairly small (6-10 rooms, cottages), no posh safari nonsense. Straight and honest, and way beyond average. Two special recommendations, if looking also for some real relaxation: Isunga near Fort Portal with great views on the mountains of Ruwenzori, and Lake Mutanda for that spectacular two-three days of total relaxation. :-) :-)
The car/transport: private Landcruiser, pop-up roof, sturdy, always clean and no problems at all - perfect.
The guide: David was a friend at the end of the trip, not only knowledge and explanations, but real talks about life in Africa. Sorting all issues, very pragmatic, his company was a real highlight of our trip.
The experience: Uganda offered it all, animals, all we could think of. The Gorilla experience was very very special, worth the efforts and the prices for the permits, although two very different experiences in Bwindi (Uganda) and in Virunga (DR Congo - so try both :-), The people, very friendly in all three countries, still interested and not (yet) spoilt by too many tourists. The parcs: few cars and always pics with no other game drive-cars involved. Special compared to more crowded places in Kenia and Tanzania.
All in all: Not our last trip to Uganda, for sure, and not our last trip with Speke. And if East-Africa, then Uganda due to its still limited number of tourists.
Thanks to all of their team from planning, to picking us up, from guiding to waving us a bye. We had a perfect trip,

Holiday in Uganda - AWESOME !
It was our first trip to Uganda. Thanks to our guide Ivan we had an amazing experience! He took care of us all the times and I learned so much about people and country. He answered all my questions and I had many :-).
Mainly we came for the Gorilla Tracking, which was definitely breathtaking. However today I know Uganda is so much more ... so many different landscapes. I‘m thrilled by all this beauty. Without any doubts, this has been a holiday that changed my perspective.
5 Stars for Speke Uganda Holidays and for this beautiful country. Weebale!

Good mixture of land and people (e.g. Rukararwe) and wildlife observation (chimpanzee and gorilla)
Tour fully corresponded to the announcement of the organizer (Gebeco) and our ideas of an eventful Africa trip.
Very good tour service by guide (Paul Ssesanga) and driver (Jotham Kasamba)

Uganda - "pearl of africa"
We spent 9 Days in Uganda. At the end we want to stay longer… ;)
My choice to go to uganda, was to have the opportunity to see gorillas. Honestly, we didn'd know a lot about Uganda before… So my mum and i got so so suprised about ALL! Uganda is just a amazing Country and „Pearl of Africa“ is deffinitly the right describtion. We were many many times speechless. We saw the big 5 and more! The Gorillas was for me the most special thing. Hope to see them again.
The whole tour was so great organiced, there is nothing, to complain. The safari-jeep was comfortable and all accomondations was well chooced. Great rooms, clean, and the places were for ex. on the river or on a hill with nice views.
To have a good tourguide is for me one of the most important things. And I think with David, we got the best he is super sympatic, friendly, and helpfull. He was allways on time and informated us all the time well. All our questions (we had a lot!) got answered. The car was cleaned up many times.
On the Safari and the way throw Uganda, he explaned a lot, so we got many informations about the land, people and animals. With David we felt all the times save, he is a good driver as well.
I would love to go again to Uganda. And recomend Speke Uganda Holidays, we would take them again !
Go To uganda and fall in love too.

a wonderful, perfectly organized Uganda experience
We discovered together with our guide Vincent the most beautiful spots in Uganda. From nature to culture, Uganda is truly an amazing country and the trip was well organized. If we come back to Uganda we will surely ask for Vincent again as he possessed a good sense of humor, is really knowledgeable about Uganda and always helpful. We highly recommend speke uganda holidays to organize your trip in Uganda.

A wonderful insight into the life and the landscape of the East African countries Uganda and Rwanda
Under the tour header „Fascinating Uganda and Rwanda“ German tour operator Venter Tours organized a mesmerizing, personalized adventure for my wife and I, lead by local tour company Speke Uganda Holidays, tailored to our wishes and needs.
Upon arrival in Entebbe, we were thrilled to meet our personal guide and driver Husein who impressed with his deep founded knowledge of East- African culture and way of life. He personally guided us through terrain, people and customs for the following 14 days, ensuring that we emerged fully in our surroundings.
In this Husein was courteous and professional, safely guiding us through the many highlights of this journey whilst allowing is the freedom to see and process the many impressions. Next to the awe-inspiring visit to the mountain gorillas we had the chance to climb the peak of Mt Sabinyo, a personal bucket list item.
We cannot thank Speke Uganda Holidays as well as Venter Tours Deutschland enough for the immaculate planning of all parts of this journey, including activities and accommodation. Most importantly we would like to express our gratitude to Husein whose care and diligence contributed tremendously to the fond memories we take with us.
