Experience of a lifetime
The communication with Speke Uganda Holidays was excellent. All our Emails were answered quickly and to our full satisfaction. We were met at the airport in Entebbe by our friendly guide and driver. The vehicle was okay and there was always fresh water. I enjoyed the various type of accommodation: from simple to luxury. The food was outstanding and tasty (with a very few exceptions). How I miss those small sweet bananas! The people of Uganda are beautiful and friendly. I would have liked to interact a little more. It was also interesting to chat to some of our hosts, e.g. at Kluges Guest Farm. I loved the colourful markets. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful and varies a lot. I have never seen elsewhere so many impressive lakes. One of my highlights were Murchison Falls NP with the cruise on the Victoria Nile and, of course, the mountain gorillas at Bwindi Impenetrable NP. There was a baby in the group which entertained us humans and it was sooo cute to watch!!! The chimps at Kibale Forest NP were amazing to see too and I did not know about their sleeping habits before I got there (nests in the trees!). I had underestimated the state of the roads (I have travelled quite a bit in Southern Africa) and we often arrived late with just an hour before dinner. We spent hours / days driving on bumpy roads. At Murchison River Lodge (beautiful), we arrived twice at dusk and left twice at dawn. No chance for their pool. In retrospect, I would have skipped the 4 days in Rwanda and rather extended my time in Uganda to stay longer at some of the places we visited or experience another NP. The birdlife is abundant and our guide knew them all! At Queen Victoria NP we were hoping to see more wildlife. There are often no boundaries between the park and human settlement. There are farm animals within the park. Overpopulation in both countries is certainly an issue. I was also hoping to learn something about the current political situation when it comes to gay people in Uganda, but this was a no-go-area for our guide. All in all, it was a fantastic holiday for my husband and myself of which we had dreamed for years. We are so glad that we made our dream come true. Thank you Tony Mulinde & team!
Once in a Lifetime
I think this is the best trip I've had because I got experience things I had never seen before. Besides, how many people do you think have been on an African safari? Not many, I can tell you that. Basically, what happens is that your ranger does everything for you. He is your waiter, driver, bar tender, etc. You are always in good hands and I highly recommend going to Mala Mala. Here is an awesome video if you want to learn more about the lions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1AqV-lwSfA

Review about South Africa by Chris Boyce
Parks are relatively small and widely separated, few really "wide open spaces"; even the Kruger feels confined due to roads.

A perfectly wonderful journey through Namibia
Journey from Windhoek, Red Dunes Lodge, Kulala, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Etosha and Okonjima was carefully arranged, dense program, diversified. One Highlight ballon flight, another one the Katamaran-Tour and last but not least many, many animals: lions, elephants, cheetahs and many more.
Review about Botswana by scotlandmac
I was a bit frustrated by the National Park rules on off roading and night drives.Using private concessions would get over this but they seem phenomenally expensive.

Review about Namibia by Geraldine
Outside Etosha there is a great variety of wildlife. The beautiful red dunes splendid in the sunrise. Can drive for miles without seeing another vehicle.

We enjoyd the safari very much, everithing was perfect.
We had very different accomodations and the were very good. We were all day on safari, we had lunchboxes, so we could picknick and see more of the land. Our guide was very friendly and helpful.
We liked Tanzania a lot, our safari was very good even better than we expected
Review about Botswana by Arjun
Tourism is the priority for the government and the people. Culture of Botswana is welcoming and friendly. Botswana has one of the largest inland delta and non intrusive and respect for privacy are great.
