Three day gorilla experience and Kampala
5/5

Booking a holiday on line can be a bit scary, you need to rely on reviews.
Achieve Global Safaris did not disappoint. There was excellent clear open communication at all times.
The Three Day Gorilla Experience was magical, accomodation and meals brilliant.
We had a fabulous day and evening exploring the cultures of Uganda in Kampala.
Our guide was fabulous, very good knowledge base, made us feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Uganda is an amazing country, Achieve Global Safaris are doing an excellent job showing Uganda off.
Well done.

Uganda 10 days with Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking
5/5

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.

Excellent service
5/5

I did a 3-day tour from Kampala to Bwindi to visit the gorillas with Achieve. Overall, the service is reliable and satisfactory. The communication with Mark over the emails was efficient and clear. The price is reasonable. The guide is knowledgeable and friendly. Will recommend it to everyone.

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.

Excellent organisation of gorilla permits at late notice
5/5

Did a great job of organising gorilla permits for us at short notice.
They were fast and efficient, and dropped permits to our car hire company.
Very happy with the service received.
Reccomendations for improvements:
1. The different company names used are confusing
2. Found it difficult to figure out which payment option to choose from the options available on the online payment system. Some more instructions on this website for the different payment options would be good and it should definitely advise about any payment surcharges which can be significant as a percentage of the total (in our case $61 for two permits).

First time in Africa, first time in Uganda and it was an amazing experience!
5/5

Everything went better than expected. Achieve provided one of the best guides, Milton (Pierre) Owinji, good to perfect accommodation, a sturdy vehicle. In ten days, I have observed a lot of animals and landscapes, I have seen the way people live and I have learned a lot about Uganda. Tasted matoke and other local flavors, Everything is safe and they have a perfect system of national parks. Roads are getting better, I have seen many construction sites. Gorilla and chimpanzee tracking were amazing, as well as the road safaris. Milton spoke all the local languages, knew all the species by heart and was an excellent driver. Mark ensured everything was booked as requested, although I waited to the last minute to confirm.

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
