Reviews
Fantastic and unforgettable time in Uganda!
We had a great time in Uganda with Speke Holidays and our Guide David. Everyday was beautiful and we got many different impressions and information about that beautiful country. We saw a lot of different landscapes and animals and we really enjoyed our Holidays. Our Lodges were great and we could relax in the evenings surrounded by beautiful nature. We are thankful for the time and say thanks to Speke Uganda Holidays :)

Great experience in Uganda and Ruanda
We had a great time and lots of interesting and amazing animal encounters in both countries. The tour plan is super. We have never been so close to Rhinos like in Ziwa. Murchison Falls is a must - especially the walk up the falls is amazing. Queen Elisabeth NP also had some surprise – a herd of elephants at Kazinga channel and tree climbing lions very close. Our first Chimp trekking in Kibale was not successful, but we got a second chance and the encounter was amazing. We also had good luck in two Gorilla trekkings. Although the first one in Bwindi was quite hard (7 hours and very steep slopes) but impressive. Contrary, in Volcanoes it was like a Sunday afternoon stroll. We met the gorillas in a clearing playing and eating all the time – amazing to observe!
Due to our local guide who spoke excellent German we had the possibility to get in contact with local people and their culture and traditions easily. So we learnt a lot about the daily life in Uganda.
Both countries are a great spot for safaris and not so crowed. They can easily compete with Kenia, Tansania and other hot spots. I prefer these smaller places!

A wonderful holiday to four different but equally spectacular venues.
I visited Uganda with a group of friends and stayed at the Boma in Entebbe and then three different game parks (Kidepo, Ishasha and Bwindi). It was fascinating to see such a varied cross-section of the country. We loved everywhere we stayed and our excellent and knowledgeable drivers/tour guides in the game parks.

Unforgettable journey with best organisation
Our tour with Speke Uganda was just great. Our guide was perfect, friendly, helpful, polite and helped us to really get in touch with the beauty of the country and with the uniqueness of Uganda and its people itself.
We enjoyed our 10 days trip a lot, got so many impressions, had no problems with anything. Thank you for the great time we had!

Every thing worked how a tourist could wish it in a country like Ugand, Ruanda.
We had a very good guide with Paul and a very nice driver with Moses. Both gave us savety, help, informations, safarispots, fotospots, happy and friendly time together. Lodges were all very nice, but we wished to have good roomsaves available. Safari was wonderful, also off course the gorilla trekks. We hope they have a good future and also the whole nationalparks with landscape and other animals alwell. But also we wish the best to all the lovely people we met in Uganda and Ruanda. It was a wonderful holiday. Thank you all!

Very supportive regarding my donation
Speke Uganda is not only a great agency (see my review from 15.8.2017) but they also supported my idea to send a parcel with teaching material from Germany to "Bwindi Eco children Uganda" in Buhoma. The choir of this school welcomed us in the Silverback Lodge in Buhoma which was so amazing to me that I decided to support them. I sent the parcel to Speke and Derrick, our guide in August, handed it over. Speke sent me some photos of this handing over and I could see many smiling children!
Thank you Speke and thank you Derrick for your commitment!!!!!

Unforgetable experience
We were a group of 5 germans (age 30-82!!) on this tour, that was organized by the german agency Diamir, which has a cooperation with Speke Uganda. We started at Entebbe and saw Murchison falls, Kibale forest, Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi NP and Rwanda. Our guide Ivan Nsubuga was very competent, dedicated and caring. He spoke excellent german and was very sensible for individual necessities and wishes. He showed us not only wildlife, but also a lot of culture and he gave us a great insight to Uganda. Our driver Moses Niwamanya did a great Job, too, driving us safely on challenging roads. In perfect english he gave a lot of information, as well. Both of them were so friendly and made us feel so comfortable, that I recommend this journey to all my friends.

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.

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.
