A truly amazing trip, combining chimp and gorilla tracking, other wildlife and an excellent guide.
I was unsure what to expect from Uganda and it far exceeded expectations. Speke Uganda delivered a fantastic itinerary, which combined the bucket list gorilla tracking along with many other equally as memorable animal encounters. Even the tree climbing lions! Our guide/driver, Eric, was excellent - very knowledgeable on every aspect of Ugandan life and history, bird life, and especially all of the other animals we saw. He was always friendly, patient, prompt, accommodating and happy to talk. The accommodation and food were also of a very high standard. I would thoroughly recommend Speke Uganda and hope to one day return and see more of this beautiful country.

Good service and wonderful tour guides
Like my four friends, I didn't know what to expect of Speke Tours when our Team leader booked them to organise for us a four days trip around Uganda last week (between 12th-16th). Our destinations were Murchison Falls National Park and Mghahinga National Park. The two are famed for being Uganda's biggest park and home to Mountain Gorillas respectively. As I write this, it is two days since we concluded our trip and I am so glad we opted for this Kampala based Safari Company. Our guide Peter was fun and very knowledgeable, especially about big mammals and birds. He had his facts right and knew how to paint a picture with just words. Loved it. On the otherhand, the accomodation facilities where we were booked were simple but lovely. Such included Murchison River Lodge and Travellers Rest Camp in Kisoro. Even better, they were within easy reach from the starting points of most of the activities in the parks. As such, we were able to catch up with most of the animals on our list without so much hustle. The biggest highlights were gorillas, giraffes, elephants and lions. Generally, the trip was fun except for the drive on the bumpy-murrum-road connecting Hoima District and Masindi. Luckily, the car was in perfect shape to counter the challenge with ease. Given the above experience, I highly recommend this company, especially for group travellers and family travellers.

from beginning to the end well organized.
Grace and Peter have given us all informations and more. They were very helpful and we felt safe everywhere.
We enjoyed the lodges. Unfortunately the lions on the trees were not to find. it was too dry and hot. Kampala was a great experience and we enjoyed the meal in a Ugandan restaurant without Musungu food and also the market.
Unfortunately, the day with our Godson couldn't start at the right time so we have lost half a day. But the good driver has done his best and we finaly enjoyed the trip.
Please correct my English. Thanks

Uganda round trip with a little bit Ruanda
We had very nice holdays: 3 weeks around Uganda with 2 nights in Runanda.
We felt us very warmly welcomed in this two counrties.
Every thing worked very well (accommondation, boat trips, Gorilla Trecking etc).
Our guide Michale told us a lot about life and people of Uganda. He was more a friend then a guide.
Thank you very much Michael and the team of Speke Uganda Holidays.

Excellent trip with Peter and Tony
We have had an excellent tour, perfect. All the guides were friendly and have great experience about guiding and supporting.
We have seen 4 of the "Big five" and the parcs were very interesting.
Just one issue, somtimes the driving time was too long. But at the end great adventure.
Thank you very much

We had an amazing experience with Speke
We could not be happier with out tour operator!
Our guide was amazing (knowledgeable, solid/safe driver and attentive) and really made sure that everything went super smooth and we got to have an amazing time in Uganda.
Even when we were forced to make some last minute changes - it was no problem for our guide! That is the difference between a mediocre tour operator and a great one- that staff are attentive and are there to help you when you really need it. A mediocre tour operator will often make a bad situation worse instead of just solving what ever needs to be solved.
