Highly Recommend Speke Uganda
The tour we chose with Speke Uganda was way and above our expectations. Our main objective was to see the gorillas in Uganda and Rwanda and thankfully we decided to combine with a fantastic roadtrip across Uganda. Our Guide, Paul, and our driver, Charles, contributed to making this trip unforgettable. We felt safe, cared for and very welcome. Paul's knowledge of both Uganda and Rwanda is outstanding. He had genuine answers for every little thing we wanted to know. Even the customer relations by Daphne and Tony in the office were outstanding. Everything went smoothly, no hiccups, disasters or problems...apart from not seeing a single lion the whole trip! Cant blame Speke for that though, comes down to mother nature. We had a great tour and got on well with the other 3 members of our tour. All the lodges we stayed in were fantastic as well. Cannot fault this trip. It may have been a little more comfy if our vehicle had been some kind of land cruiser rather than a van with a pop up roof but it did the job and I cant really complain. If you are thinking of booking Speke.....just do it, you will not be disappointed.

a very interesting, well organized tour with a diligent and customer-focussed guide/driver
service was good: both the company and the guide/ driver. Good car. Some lodges very good, one or two under average.
Kibale/ QENP and Bwindi are a good selection of National Parks. The distances between them are comfortable.
Speke Uganda is a very good travel company! Every time we were content.

Great tour of Uganda and Rwanda
I recently went on a 14 day fixed schedule tour of Uganda and Rwanda with Speke. At first I was a little nervous about choosing them as they are in Kampala and don't take credit cards (I'm from the USA). But I went ahead and reserved with them and I'm very glad I did. The itinerary was excellent - worthwhile destinations and just the right pace, not rushed and not too relaxed. It was an excellent value tour as well, being significantly less expensive than similar tours run by US and British agencies (the same itinerary staying at the same lodgings). Our guide Paul was superb - well informed, very organized, always attentive to the clients' needs and spoke flawless english. The hotels were more than adequate with clean, private bathrooms and decent food. Several were in outstanding, scenic locations. The wi-fi internet was often marginal, but I think this comes with the region. Overall, I would highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays to western travellers.

I highly recommend Speke Uganda Holidays to show you this beautiful country
From our initial contact, Speke proved responsive and flexible despite our numbers, and even arrival date, changing up to the last moment. And from the moment we met Robert, our driver/guide at Entebbe, I knew we were in good hands. Ever cheerful, personable, untiring and well-informed, he put in long hours and great effort to take care of us on a whistle-stop week that covered Murchison, Kibale, Fort Portal and Queen Elizabeth National Park, and he was truly soon part of the family. Many of the roads are poor, and the distances great, but the sights and experiences more than make up for this - from sunrise over the Nile, waiting for the ferry to cross and keeping a wary eye on the brazen baboons looking for a breakfast in the vehicles, to getting within a few metres of wild Chimps as they calmly sit, regarding you, to laughing at young elephants splashing delightedly as they bathe in the Kazinga Channel. I have lived and travelled widely in Africa and this is the friendliest, most beautiful, amazing country... you should not miss it. My family had the holiday of a lifetime in Uganda, and I can thoroughly recommend Speke Uganda and Robert to take care of you there.

100 % professional planning and empathic guidance throughout the journey
We were really absolutely satisfied with the whole organisation and execution of the trip. Very good planned and prepared, we never had to wait and both of our guides (Robert for 8 days and Grace for 7 days) were very empathic and they always knew and recognized what we want and what we prefer. The 4WD car was always clean and comfortable. The lodges were all very nice and well selected.
All in all we can recommend Speke without any deductions.

Perfect time Uganda
We had a woulderful time in Uganda! Thank to Speke Uganda Holidays!
The trip and all the tours have been well organized. Our accomodations were much better than we had expected as well as the meals we could enjoy.
But much more importet to us ... Our sophisticated guide introduced us to the peple who live there. This was a deep and emotional experience. We never made it without him. He explained the culture and gave us some background information. So we had the chance to learn about this country not even from the troutist's perspective. And he has taken us to the highlights of Uganda's flora and fauna. Amazing!
All went well. At least we couldn't complain about the wether. So all went perfectly!
P.S. the trip was arranged in cooperation with Diamir (German travel agency)
