Local Control; local benefits
The tour organized by Global was excellent both in quality and value for money BUT the biggest reason EVERYONE should use them is because they use local properties (like accommodation owned and operated by the local cooperatives) and local guides and thus the money goes directly back into the community. The large international tour companies are within their own self-contained and owned lodges with NO benefit to the local residents hence they should be avoided. Note: the local properties, food and guides were excellent - much better than the imported tour guides.

Great
We did a 5 day trip through Uganda organised by Achieve Gloobal Safaris and really liked it! The gorilla trekking was definitely a highlight but everything was soooo nice! An amazing country!
We booked the budget accommodations and have to say that it was much higher standard than we expected. all the lodges were incredible. Highly recommended!

An efficient personal service to see some amazing wildlife
Our safari was efficiently arranged, with prompt responses to our enquiries. Our guide and driver was equally attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, finding us a range of wildlife.
The lodge was spectacularly located with fantastic views over the savannah, but also sensitively designed and eco-friendly.
The whole experience was as good as promised.

Professionell
It was an amazing experience. Our guide Tony try everything to make it very comfortable und enjoyable during our trip. It all started when our organizer Jolie was always helpful and took our individual wishes into account. The agreed pick-up location was Entebbe, but since the flight to Kigali was cheaper in the end and Jolie wanted to save us the long journey from Entebbe, she arranged for us to be picked up in Kigali despite the additional effort for the agency. We are very grateful to her for this. The gorilla trekking was unforgettable and overall we felt comfortable.

Wonderful trip in a beautiful country!
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
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
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!
