Speke Uganda Holidays - simply perfect.
I booked a single traveler tour from April 1st till April 6th straight at Speke, no German agency in between. Communication by Email, WhatsApp and even a call via WhatsApp was excellent and always fast. Flights were booked by myself.
My guide guide and driver for the whole time was Gulielm. He had good contacts and was excellent in finding out where the animals were. I'd like to call him "eagle eye Gulielm" because he saw the animals without binocular wherever they were. He has an unbelievable knowledge and was always there for me. When my flight back was canceled and a new one scheduled one day later, he took care for me and even spend the additional day with me (he arranged a room, a visit in the botanical garden in Entebbe and finally drove me to the airport).
The tour itself was just great. Gorilla tracking in Bwindi, 2x Safari in Queen Elizabeth NP (incl. tree climbing lions and leopard), fantastic boat ride at Kazinga Channel (incl. elephants and buffaloes having a bath) and chimp tracking in Kyambura Gorge. Words can't discribe the experience.
Accomodation and especially the food was nice.
For those who are thinking about going to Uganda in rain season: It is no problem at all!
Many thanks to Speke Uganda Holidays

experienced Speke as an excellent and very professional tour operator
Thank you so much for an outstanding private safari experience in Uganda. Our guide Gulielm was the best guide we ever had on our tours. Very professional how you could arrange going on gorilla trecking spontaniously again after the first time flashed us. Gulielm was very empathic and gave us an very close insight in Uganda traditions and way of living. The hotels and guesthouses were very well chosen and fitted our expectation perfectly. It is a once in a lifetime experience, but due to your service, we might come back again.

The perfect trip through Uganda
The trip itself was a perfect mix of Ugandas more than beautiful nature & wildlife, but also daily life and the nice Ugandan people. The organization was absolutely good. Accommodation throughout the whole trip was very good. Our guide and driver did everything to make this trip unforgettable. It was a pleasure to travel with them.
If someone is really interested in the country and not only the touristic highlights, here is the correct address!

Extremely competent, focused on the wishes of the customers
Our tour took us from January 10th, 2024 to January 24th, 2024 on a total of 6 stops through beautiful Uganda. We booked the trip through a German travel agency, organized the flights ourselves and were perfectly looked after in Uganda by Speke Uganda Holidays.
My wife and I had a spacious Toyota Landcruiser for the entire period. Our guide Ivan was always there for us with his immense knowledge and, above all, his perfect German.
The route itself gave us an impression of this beautiful country. We chose the luxury option for accommodation and were sometimes overwhelmed.
Both the accommodation and the cuisine left little to be desired.
Nevertheless, due to the many kilometers we were able to get to know and appreciate the country itself.
We were very impressed by the enormous diversity of flora and fauna.
Thanks to everyone “in the background” at Speke who was responsible for the success of such a trip.
And… dear Ivan: Our very special thanks to you for an unforgettable vacation, in which you played a huge part. You were there for us at all times and drove us safely the many kilometers through your beautiful country. We received a lot of background knowledge from you. You were able to explain to us every animal and every plant and the typical behavior of the animals. In the national parks you knew exactly where you could see which animals. The many beautiful photos are also your credit.
We wish you and your family all the best, stay as you are!

Excellent and professional support from the Speke Uganda Holiday team including the boss T. Mulinde
Summary of a „very special tour“ in beautiful Uganda and Rwanda from January 21st to February 4th, 2024. Our trip in the country was organized by the travel agency Speke Uganda Holidays in Kampala, we booked the flights ourselves. We had specified the theme (focusing on the Nile quest and the German colonial period) with the most important locations and Isabella Amunyo from Speke Uganda Holidays implemented the itinerary with the lodges in an excellent manner according to our wishes. My wife and I had a new 6-seater Toyota 4WD Landcruiser at our disposal and our English-speaking guide/driver Innocent took us safely everywhere, took great care of us, was an advisor and organizer for all our wishes.
My wife and I agree that we had an unforgettable trip thanks to the beauty of the country, its friendly people and of course the excellent support from the Speke Uganda Holiday team including the boss Tony Mulinde and Michael Jakob, member of staff in Germany. Our warmest thanks go to everyone involved.

Thorough, knowledgeable and engaging
The tour organised for us was everything we hoped for and more. Speke were very flexible to late changes and produced an itinerary that matched our needs. Our guide Julius enhanced the experience adjusting the programme to enhance the experience. We felt we were treated royally with extra surprises like sundowners, welcoming rooms and massages. Julius also introduced us to the culture and answered our many questions. He also ensured we had the best guides for individual activities. In summary our trip was marvellous

They were thoughtful, helpful and creative
Our guide was very knowledgeable, considerate and very hard working. He looked out for our needs and provided a lot of local information which was invaluable. When we faced difficulties during the trip the COO took time to call and talk through our options and they were very supportive in adapting from there on. I would recommend Speke Uganda to anyone considering visiting.

Unforgettable Uganda
We spent just under two weeks touring around the Pearl of Africa for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. Speke made the most wonderful program and booked hotels of outstanding beauty.
Our driver/guide/friend was David - and words cannot describe our level of gratitude.
David has a breadth of knowledge and his kindness and likeability ensured good communications with his fellow guides which enabled us to know best locations or spots for tree climbing lions or leopards while in QE park.
David suggested community activities which help local communities and allowed us to learn so much more about the region and heritage.
We were able to communicate freely and tailor our programme to suit our energy levels to ensure maximum enjoyment.
Each hotel that Speke selected made a genuine effort to acknowledge our honeymoon and the memories we have made will never fade.
We also had a check in midway through our travels from Tony at head office, which was a nice touch.
We cannot wait to come back to continue exploring a country of such rich kindness, happiness, wildlife and beauty.
Thank you David
And thank you Speke
