Superb experience on a private tour of Uganda and Rwanda
I was a little apprehensive about booking a private tour on my own - female, travelling alone, booking with a local company outside Australia. I could not have wished for a better trip (aside from Emirates losing my luggage). My 11 day tour took me from Entebbe to Kibale for the fabulous chimpanzee experience, Queen Elizabeth National Park where I got up close to many many elephants as well as on the Kazinga channel cruise, wonderful day Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, then onto Rwanda where the trek to Dian Fosseys grave was a highlight as well as visiting the genocide museum in Kigali. My guide Milton was excellent - such great company at breakfast and dinner with lots of local knowledge which he was happy to share as we were on the road. Accomodation in lodges throughout the trip was really very good - meals were extremely generous and tasty and packed lunches were included for most excursions. Overall I felt very well cared for and would rate my private tour as exceptional value for money compared with other tours offered through companies based in Australia. I fell in love with east Africa and hope to return sometime in the future.
Uganda 10 days with Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking
Just got back from a great tour of Uganda. Many thanks to Mark from Achieve Global Safaris who did a great job from planning the itinerary, meeting me at the airport, getting great accommodation and not the least getting me the best tour guide/driver in business -Milton.
My trip started with Rhino tracking in Ziwa, then on to Murchison Falls Park-it was breathtaking to see herds of antelopes, giraffes, elephants, buffaloes moving in the savannah at dawn and a Nile boat ride in the evening. We then travelled to Kibale National Park-where I spent a whole day tracking a family of chimpanzees (highly recommend this, if you are tired and want to leave early one of the rangers will take you back), From Kibale we went To Queen Elizabeth National park, stopping on the way for short hikes in the Crater Lake region. From leopards at dusk, hyenas at dawn, tree climbing lions, herds of elephants among other, QENP is a must if you visit Uganda. Then it was on to Bwindi Forest , to hang out with the Oruzogo gorilla family in the Ruhija sector. An incredible experience.
It was only at the end of the trip how well planned my trip was- for instance whenever we had early game drives, Mark got lodging inside the National Parks. And Milton you are a great ambassador for Uganda- showed me Uganda I would not have seen-from local legends to local eats, your vast knowledge of the animals, and stopping to point out birds and reptiles (yes though not on a birding tour- I saw the famous shoebill stork thanks to Milton.)
I highly recommend Achieve Global Safari-being a Local company it would also be great way to say Thank you to Uganda and Ugandan people for sharing their beautiful country.

Achieve Global Safaris ensured we had the best holiday ever in the 7 days we went to Uganda
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/)
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.
Excellent
Everything has been wonderful. I´ve got one of the best experiences of my life. The gorilla tracking has been the best.
highly professional and well organised
Good professional driver / guide. Well organised and timely service.
7 day Uganda Classic Tour
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!
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
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.
