An emotional journey to our birth place and Tony our driver/guide ensured that it went smoothly
Great trip with Tony looking after us expertly and with great care. He was like a part of our family. What an unforgettable experience Uganda was. The happy smiling people and the beautiful country. Great lodges with good food. Saw everything apart from the elusive leopard. Tony did not give up trying to find for us. Saw 10 lions!!! Sadly not with us anymore.

We got more than we expected!
Me and my husband spent 10 days travelling around in Uganda with our fantastic guide David (the master of avoiding potholes and bumps). He took really good care of us and he taught us a lot about the Ugandan culture, politics and lifestyle. Everything went smooth without any problems. We saw all the animals we expected to see and maybe a few more. We can warmly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays!
Uganda tour with Speke Holidays was a wonderful experience.
Speke Holidays services were excellent from the moment we landed at Entebbe.
The choice of hotels was excellent , all very comfortable, good food and service.
The tour vehicles very comfortable.Very obliging drivers and very knowledgable rangers on safaris.
We had a great time.we were a group of 14 and all will agree to that.

Unforgettable journey with best organisation - we will never forget it!
We visited Uganda for three weeks over Christmas and New Year. We had a great time there with Speke Uganda Holidays and our different guides. It was a combined tour: We hiked through the Ruwenzoris during the first week and then enjoyed the country for two weeks on a leisurely safari through the beautiful national parks. Johnson and Andrew were our guides on the trek through the Rwenzori Mountains, which was culminating in the successful ascent of Margherita Peak. Without these two, we would not have reached the top. Many thanks to them and to our great chef and our helpful porters.
Our safari, which we did with friends, was super organized. We had wonderful accommodations. The gorilla trecking was one of the best experiences ever! Our driver guide on safari, Hamidu, told us a lot about life and people of Uganda. He was more a friend then a guide for us and we had a lot of fun together.
Many thanks to Speke Uganda Holidays for this wonderful trip! We enjoyed it very much and we will come back - to climb the Mount Elgon with Hamidu :-)

Wonderful safari, including trekking gorgeous gorillas and chimps, with most amazing guide Eric.
Have never used Speke before, but definitely would holiday with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else. We have travelled extensively in Africa, India and South &. Central America to see wildlife. This trip was up there with the very best especially as we had world-class guide Eric to ensure our experience. As vegans, Eric ensured that all our food was appropriate - and very tasty. Would highly recommend the accommodation - Buhoma Lodge at Bwindi, Kyaninga Lodge for the chimp trekking and Bakers Lodge at Murchison Falls. It is worth mentioning that Bakers Lodge is on the far side of the Nile to the Murchison Falls NP, so you are dependent on ferry crossings to get into the park which means you cannot stay in the park early evening.
A HUGE thank you to Eric of Speke, in particular, for making our holiday so special.

Totally worth it
We did a two week tour of 6 of Uganda's National Parks with Speke Uganda in Dec'17 and would totally recommend them.
Prompt replies over the e-mail, Mitze made sure she addressed all our queries in a timely manner and addressed all of our concerns.
Our guide and driver , Hamid was very knowledgeable and was an excellent "animal spotter" - He knew his way across these parks and went out of his way to ensure we had a good time.
Thank you Speke Uganda for showing us your beautiful country.
Thanks,
Yuvi & Kim

tremendous experience
I made the 14 day Uganda/Rwanda tour this September/October with one german and 2 english fellow travellers which was organized by the german agency “Karibu Safaris” in cooperation with “Speke Uganda”. We started at Entebbe and saw Murchison falls, Kibale forest, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi NP and Rwanda. Our guide Paul was absolutely competent, dedicated and caring. He spoke excellent german and showed us not only wildlife, but also a lot of culture and he gave us a great insight to Uganda. David, our driver, did a great job, too, driving us safely on challenging roads. Both were a perfect team and made the trip exceptionell. Every day of the journey provided us with a highlight we will never ever forget. I will definitely recommend this journey and “Karibu Safaris” together with “Speke Uganda” to all my friends.
But Speke Uganda is not only a great agency but they also supported me with my donation for Eden School at Lake Bunyonyi we visited and which was a very emotional experience for me. Back in Germany Helmke Sears of “Karibu Safaris” established the contact with Tony Mulinde of “Speke Uganda” in order to help with the donation. I am looking forward to hear and see photos from the handling over the items they bought for the school/kids.
Thank you all for the great time and experiences I had!

Incredible!!
Speke Uganda Holidays was very easy to work with and they were able to accommodate my aggressive itinerary. They were always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. My guide Peter was amazing and he went out of his way to make sure that I saw as much as possible. He was very knowledgeable and I had a great time! All but one of the lodges were fabulous with all of the amenities and they were located in beautiful locations. There was one issue, but Tony the owner of company, made sure he personally took care of it.
I would highly recommend this company the are both very professional and reputable.
There was one issue with the transportation, but Tony was able to

Very Good and reliable.
I booked with them a 5-day trip in Uganda and Rwanda, with 1 gorilla trekking in each country. As I had an extra day, they added one chimp trekking marking it a 6-day tour. All went really well anda exactly as it was agreed when hiring them.
The contact was also easy, with my emails always being answered very fast.
I certainly do recommend their agency.

Perfect!
Speke Uganda and our driver Hamid especially were wonderful during our short time in Uganda. The places we saw were full of culture and although we knew we couldn't fully see all that Uganda has to over in only a couple days we felt it was an excellent view into the country. The main purpose of our trip was to spread this ashes of a deceased loved one and Hamid was extremely respectful and accommodating in our needs. I would highly recommend Speke Uganda as a tour company in the future.
