They maximized the experience for the limited time we had.
They carefully took our information and formulated a tour which suited our limitations. Robert, our driver and guide, was very personable and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to show us many animals and still meet our time line. The lodging and food arrangements were excellent.

Much more than I expected of a short Safari
We did not have a lot of time (only 2 half days) for Safari but the tour with Speke gave us more than we ever hoped for. They arranged it to meet our needs and desires. The scenery was spectacular down the beautiful unspoiled Nile to Murchison Falls. We saw many different species of animals up close, including Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Lions, Hyenas, Walter Buffalo, Baboons, monkeys, different species of Antelope and Birds everywhere. The tour guide did everything possible for us to see the animals. This Safari was inexpensive and I felt we were well cared with accommodation, meals and transportation and a very knowledgeable guide.

We were treated like angels. Service was timely and spectacular.
Our safari was to the Murchison falls national park. Being the first time I was taking a safari, I was skeptical on what it all entailed and naturally asked many questions to which the tour operators' staff responded politely. The operators team was quite helpful in helping us prepare for the safari and were kind to us all through the trip. We benefited from the patience and jolliness our tour guide and up to now we still laugh at some of his jokes. I would surely recommend Speke Uganda holidays to anyone planning a safari in the great lakes region.

unforgettable
We booked Speke Uganda Holidays without any reference, only by searching the internet. There was something - I don't know what it really was - I thought this will be the best company for our trip. So we had many contacts with Tony (the chief of the company). We prefered some special Lodges, and some special places to see - that was no problem, they were very flexible and consumer friendly. Every question we had before our trip was answered within a maximum of 2 days. Before the departure, we got every information that was necessary.
We had an excellent driver, Hamid. We reached our destination very safely and on time. He gave us a lot of information about the people, the history, the animals and the whole country. There is nothing to criticize. Many thanks for the great journey with unforgettable impressions.

A magical weekend safari that we will never forget!!!
Speke Uganda Holidays helped us to organise a FANTASTIC weekend in paradise during our time in Uganda. They recommended a variety of wonderful experiences including a riverboat cruise along the Nile, a hike up Murchison Waterfalls, a safari trip through the national Park at Murchison falls and a morning at the rhino sanctuary where we got to walk with rhinos!! Our guide Hammid was brilliant and his knowledge of the national park and country was astounding! Speke Uganda Holidays chose Kabalega Wilderness lodge for our stay, right on the River Nile. We were greeted by the most friendly and caring staff that I have ever met. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding!! We are so grateful to Speke Uganda Holidays for such a memorable trip!! We plan to come back again next year and stay for longer... we will definitely be booking with them again! Highly recommended!!

Speke Uganda arranged an amazing tour with a very capable guide. Perfect organisation.
Speke Uganda is a company which is always there for its clients. From our first inquiry until our flight back home Tony and his team did a great job. Questions were answered within hours so that we got the impression that the company would sit next door and not thousands of miles away. When we met our guide Michael and the owner of Speke, Tony, in Uganda we saw that these men are living for their job and the wellbeing of their clients. The tour through beautiful Uganda was simply amazing. We got a very good impression of country and people, had many interesting discussions with Michael, stayed in beautiful and well-organized lodges with a always welcoming stuff and saw many animals we never saw before (it was our 5th visit to Africa). So thank you again Tony and stuff for a holiday we will never forget and will remember all our lives. I am recommending Speke Uganda and a trip to Uganda whole-heartedly!!

Spectacular holidays with Speke Uganda Holidays in Uganda and Ruanda
First of all we want to thank Michael Jakob in Germany and Tony Mulinde in Uganda from Speke Holidays for the informative previews by phone and email to plan our individuell roundtrip through Uganda and Ruanda. We got what we paid for.
The whole roundtrip was very well organized, well prepared and we had memorable holidays. Our guide was well trained and friendly and our car was under perfect conditions.
Many thanks again to Jakob, Tony and to our guide Hamidu.

My experience as an independent traveler with Speke was awesome from start to finish.
My initial contact with Speke Uganda Holidays was an internet one. They were, in fact, the first company to be honest with me regarding the cost of the gorilla viewing permit, a lowered amount of $350 because it was the rainy season.
Not only were they my safari company, they also set up many other excursions for me. My primary purpose in going to Uganda was to visit a girl I had sponsored for over six years. They arranged my transport to the school. When I couldn't get a reply from the hotel I had selected in Kampala, they intervened and made sure that was satisfactorily arranged. They helped me with the beginning of my trip until the very end. In fact, I'm sure I would not have had the memorable trip I had without their help.
My driver Robert always put my safety and comfort paramount. I never had to worry about anything. I knew that the whole Speke Uganda Holidays team was always working to make sure that I had the fullest experience possible. They were not only my safari group, they became dear friends that I will cherish for life. Although Uganda is truly a wonderful country that any tourist would find well worth a trip, it is the people that I met there, of which the Speke Uganda Holidays is tops on that list, that make it such a trip of a lifetime. I would trust the people at Speke Uganda Holidays with my life, and you can too.
I had so many memorable experiences in Uganda that I will not enumerate them. Feel free to contact me if I can give you any information regarding a trip to Uganda or can give you further information about my friends at Speke Uganda Holidays.
