Achieve Global Safaris ensured we had the best holiday ever in the 7 days we went to Uganda
5/5

This trip was an absolutely amazing one. Achieve Global Safaris were very accommodating when deciding what we wanted to see and do. I enjoyed everything about it -Gorilla and Rhino tracking, Cruise on the Nile to name a few. Accommodation ,food and staff were so helpful everywhere we went. It was the best trip I have been on and was very good value for money. We couldn't have asked for a nicer Driver Augustine- very knowledgeable and pleasant. I am looking forward to booking my next safari. Definitely would recommend Achieve Global Safari to anyone. Thanks for great trip!

Safari in Uganda with Achieve Global Safari Ltd (https://www.ugandasafaristours.com/)
5/5

Achieve Global safari Ltd couldn't do enough to make our holiday special.

We went on safari for one week. The booking with Mark was straightforward and we always received prompt replies to queries.

Augustine (our driver/guide) was absolutely fantastic too. He has word perfect English (like everyone else in the country) and was always pleasant, smiling and willing to please even on the very long journeys (16 hours driving in one day!).

Augustine went out of his way to make our holiday as perfect as possible, despite arbitrary weather challenges. He introduced us to the local foods and advised us of the best places to visit.

I highly recommend Uganda and it's acquiescent people.

The sheer quantity of birds and wild animals in the country is mind-blowing.

Uganda is a MUST visit and I would choose Achieve Global Safari Ltd again anytime.

7 day Uganda Classic Tour
5/5

It is my pleasure to recommend this company and wonderful group of people.
I recently came back from a trip to Uganda which turned out to be one of my best vacations.
My trip was arranged by Mark of Achieve Global Safari. Mark and Ajok the guide/driver came to meet me at the airport and we were later joined by Polly at the hotel. The whole team is very friendly and accommodating to my needs. My guide was very knowledgeable and named almost all the birds he pointed out for me.
Their prices are very reasonable and I took the luxury option for a few more dollars. I think it is worth it.
It is too bad I cannot send the fee by PayPal or credit card since the area has a lot of frauds. I did not have any reference before but I took the risk and sent half of the fee in advance by bank transfer. I did not have any problem and got what I asked for.
The accommodations were great and probably the best I could have in this country.
Please make sure that you are pretty fit to go on a Gorilla tracking.
I am planning to visit Tanzania to watch migration in the future and I will be happy to use this company again.

Fantastic trip, would definitely recommend it!
5/5

Fantastic trip - we spent a week on safari with the main aim of visiting the gorillas, anything else we saw was a bonus in our eyes, but the chimpanzee trekking was so exciting. The elephants & the amount of them was mind blowing..... and of course the gorillas were amazing. We feel so privileged to have seen these animals.
Our driver/guide, Ajok was very helpful, very friendly & really tried to meet all out needs. All the accommodation was 5 *, very clean, very safe & really friendly staff. Definitely can't complain about anything & would really recommend this tour with Achieve Global - Mark in the office sorted everything for us & all via email.
Thank you

A unique experience
5/5

From the start Mark had been quick to respond to my emails even after changing my mind several times about various routes and number of passengers.

When we arrived Patrick and Mark were there waiting to meet us at the airport. They were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. During the course of the tour, Patrick made sure that the hotels catered for all our needs, especially my parents unusual dietary requirements. He would stop and buy local food along the way for us to sample, including red bananas!

It was a pleasure touring Uganda with Achieve Global Safaris, a unique and wonderful experience. Thank you so much for all the great memories.

Wonderful trip in a beautiful country!
5/5

Our safari was tacked on last minute to the end of a business trip and boy are we glad we did! Jolie was great to work with and easy to communicate with as we aligned on the itinerary/dates/lodging etc. Once everything was booked and we were ready to go, we were assigned our guide/driver, Joseph, who by the end of our trip, felt like we hit the jackpot. Besides kind and knowledgeable, Joseph was well versed in finding all kinds of wildlife and was determined to make sure we saw everything we possibly could. He spotted the rare leopard lounging in a tree that I was only able to see with binoculars and most people would have missed. He made sure we had the best seats on our boat ride (actually saved them for us and turned other guests away when they tried to sit there!) and even took us for a bonus drive since we didn't have the best view of the lions on our morning game drive. He used all his resources and network of colleagues to ensure we had the best experience and our bonus drive even included a front row seat with 2 lionesses and their cubs! We couldn't have enjoyed our time/conversations any more and we were genuinely sad when he dropped us off safely and on time to the airport for our trek home. I couldn't recommend this company and Joseph any more and will be forever grateful for such an amazing first experience into our Africa explorations. Do not hesitate to explore Uganda with Achieve Global Safaris!

Amazing organisation and attention to detail. I would fully recommend Achieve Global Safaris to mana
5/5

This was to be a trip of a lifetime. I was returning to Uganda after 60 years absence and dragging my son along for a trip down memory lane. The tour was tailor made to include all the places I had grown up in and places I had visited. Jolie at Achieve Global Safaris was excellent at making all the arrangements at some strange places off the tourist route such as the Mountains of the Moon Hotel in Fort Portal and the Silver Springs Hotel in Kampala. She did an excellent job of making sure the itinerary flowed smoothly, even when my bag was left behind at Manchester!
We had a superb driver Joseph who was completely unfazed by the atrocious driving in Kampala and other major cities and dealt with the crazy boda-bodas with calm, patience and skill. Joseph also put up with my strange requests to visit my old Nakasero Primary School, Port Bell on Lake Victoria, where I used to fish as a 9/10 year old and he seemed to have a sixth sense where the game was located. We saw two leopards, one on an early morning game drive and another up a euphorbia cactus tree. We also had two huge male lions come and slump down in the shade of our Landcruiser for the shade. I could have reached down an scratched them between the ears!
It was a fabulous two weeks and my son has also fallen in love with Uganda and vows to return. I will be forever grateful to Jolie, Joseph and Achieve Global Safaris for their support and amazing kindness. They are the BEST!

Fantastic Experience
5/5

We travelled for two weeks trough Kenya with Eric. It was a fantastic experience and we loved it.
Organization and communication with Achieve Global Safaris was uncomplicated. The tour was tailored to our wishes and adapted serveral times, till we were happy with the programme.
Up on arrival in Nairobi, we were picked up by Eric and we did not have to care for anything till drop of at the airport two weeks later. We could relaxe completely.
The tour with Eric was exiting, relaxing and fun at the same time. Eric has a great knowledge of the country and the different parks. Thanks to his experience we did not only saw a lot of wild animals (including the big five and the ugly five), but also in great and special sceneries.
Highly recommend!
