Our Story
A passion for excellence
Speke Holidays is all about passion. It's what drives us in everything we do. We are a safari ground handler solely focussing on Uganda and Rwanda with a deep and abiding love for these two spectacular countries. Founded in 2008 and led by our Managing Director, Tony Mulinde, himself an experienced German-speaking safari guide, we pass our passion for what we do on to our guests through high quality, affordable safaris.
We employ an extensive team of experienced English, German, Spanish and French-speaking safari guides who work alongside our talented head office staff to ensure every safari is spectacular. We are also committed to sustainability and do everything we can to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever we operate. We select tourism partners who share our commitment to sustainable practices and our ethos of protecting our planet and respecting Mother Nature.
