The most amazing 20 day tour of Uganda with an outstanding guide
We chose to go to Uganda to see the gorillas and the shoebills but discovered so much more. We approached several companies via emails and was impressed with Harriet at Matoke Tours response - she took time to read our emails and answer our questions and tailor the proposed custom itinerary to meet our needs. Everything went according to plan but the whole experience was enhanced by our exceptional Ugandan guide, Geoffrey Katende whose knowledge of wildlife, culture and history plus exceptional driving skills, along with just being such a great guy to spend 20 days with, will never be forgotten. We had a humbling experience spending time with the Karamojong people in the North East, and enjoyed the many wildlife encounters including 3 leopards in Murchison Falls and the tree lions in Ishasha. We did indeed find the shoebill, and the gorilla encounter at Nkuringo in Bwindi will be forever a highlight of life experiences - even the effort of the hike in and out seemed to add to the experience (although at the time we had serious concerns that we could actually make it out ... it was tough for two nearly 60 year olds!) The stay at Lake Mutanda Lodge and Turaco Treetops was exceptional but all accommodations were clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a great Ugandan experience we would highly recommend arranging it through Matoke Tours

Like a family
From the moment I first contacted Zohar to the last (actually there isn't a last yet as we are still exchanging messages) I felt welcomed and important to the Zohar family. Lilian has been amazing in organizing and accommodating my group. We had to postpone our initial trip (July 2018) due to an injury to one of the members of the group and Lilian had no problem with this. She allowed us to give dates for a year later at no extra cost. We were welcomed into their homes with home cooked meals the night before we started our climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro. The staff that supported us in the climb were first rate with all of them being friendly and helpful. The guides (Imran and Gideon) were very knowledgeable and experienced. The cook (Haruna) prepared excellent meals with more food than we could eat. The porters were very strong and honest. From the first moment to the last on the climb, it was an outstanding experience.
I am planning on organizing another trip with Zohar next year to see the Serengeti and I know it will be excellent.

Fantastic and Organized tour operators!
Compass Odyssey was a great and reliable company to work with. They were always timely and provided much needed information in a timely fashion. Our guide was great and timely as well. We were provided with amazing accommodations. They were able to provide us with so many opportunities and sights to see in the short amount of time we had available. Overall, great tour and great tour operations. I will be using Compass Odyssey again.

Touring Rwanda- A truly beautiful country full of natural wonders
Rwanda is truly an amazingly beautiful country full of natural wonders and amazing people. Our four days safari exploring Rwanda last week were out of this world. Our guide Herbert was an asset during the tour, he is a gentleman and very passionate about his job. He made sure that we were happy, comfortable and satisfied. His knowledge of wildlife, plants and birds is very impressive. He could describe everything that we saw in detail. We visted Akagera where we had game drives and a boat ride, Genocide Memorial and finished off with an amazing experience with Gorillas in Volcanoes.
We enjoyed our trip very much that we would have loved to stay for a few more days.

ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience on a 2-day safari organized by Zohar African Tour. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and a Masai Village. The level of attention was oustanding from all, including Lilian, Jackline, and Frank. Lilian is the big boss and she gave us a warm welcome as soon as we arrived and even had organized a home cooked meal from her house for our first day at the safari! Jackline was attentive since day one with helping organize this adventure, getting us the best accommodation, giving us a warm welcome as well and personally checking up with us after the safari was over. Frank was our ranger - an absolutely AMAZING, funny, genuine, and honest man. He spent both days with us making sure we get the best experience possible, accommodating the vehicle to get the best pictures of the animals, and being extremely flexible with our wants! A safari is a breathtaking experience, which can only get better if you let the right people organize it for you. Thank you to the Zohar African Safari team for letting us trust you with this! THANK YOU! We would 100% recommend them and would love to go back ourselves for a longer safari trip to the Serengeti!

Fantastic Holiday
We had a fantastic time on our holiday in Tanzania. From the time we arrived in Tanzania, it was just great! Goodluck our guide was excellent company and real fun to be with. He told us so much about Tanzania culture, history and the people. In the 3 days took to some very nice places, like the Urithi Tanga Museum, Tanga city tour, Pangani beach, Amboni caves and a trek in a coastal forest. We met the local people in towns and enjoyed chatting with the locals.
Our accommodation at Tanga beach Resort was exquisite. A great place with excellent food, nice comfortable rooms and great service.
Excellent Holiday! Good Service! Friendly People!=KWESA!!

Amazing opportunity to see the wildlife in East Africa!
This trip was well planned from the beginning. Jolie was extremely prompt and clear with all of her emails. Every time I asked a question she would get back to me within a day. The final itinerary included everything we wanted to do and see. Jolie worked with us to add a few extra activities and was very accommodating.
As far as the trip goes, we were in the car for very long periods of time, but it was definitely worth it in order to see so many different amazing things!
Dominick was our driver/guide in Kenya. He was very patient and accommodating as our group seemed to be late every single time we were supposed to leave. He always made the trip all about us and never seemed to mind. He was very knowledgeable about the roads and where to see the animals while on safari. Masai Mara was the most incredible place to see basically everything except for the rhino. Luckily, we also got to visit Lake Nakuru and saw the rhinos there.
After Kenya we met our guide Tom who stayed with us during our time in Uganda and Rwanda. I can’t say enough nice things about him. He is so kind, caring, and made us feel safe at all times. He was extremely encouraging and reassuring of our group and helped us with any information we needed or any reservations we might have had. There were less animals on safari in Uganda, but we were lucky enough to see everything in Kenya. Our main focus here were the tracking experiences (golden monkeys, mountain gorillas, and chimpanzees), and they did not disappoint. Seeing the silverback gorillas was the highlight of our entire trip and made the difficult hike worth it.
Overall, all members of our group highly recommend traveling with Achieve Global Safaris as they are extremely reliable. We all felt safe throughout the entire trip. If you have the time and can handle the car rides, make sure you go to all 3 countries as they all offer unique experiences.
