Overall good experience, but the choice of one hotel in Kitgum was bad.
The overall safari was well organized. Apoka lodge in Kidepo Valley NP is excellent. The hotel Bomah in Kitgum was bad. On our way back the Churchill hôtel in Gulu was good.
The driver was excellent. Only regret the car had no airco.

Very well organized 4 Days Gorilla Trek and Lake Bunyonyi Safari. Jolie answered all of our questions very quickly and in detail! The driver was very competent and friendly, lodges in Rushaga and Lake Bunyonyi were very comfortable, with amazing views, food was really very good,
One of the best trips ever! Highly recommended!

Perfect Safari in Uganda
My husband and I had a wonderful time with 9 days visiting various safari and Gorilla track in Uganda.
Jolie, the tour Consultant of Achieve Global Safaris who arranged a perfect itinerary to us. She was extremely prompt and helpful with pre trip planning.
Elisa, our tour guide and driver was very friendly and professional. Although we spend long time in the car on a lot of bumpy roads but Elisa made it as comfortable as possible!
I highly recommend Achieve Global Safaris to arrange your customised trip in Uganda.
You'll be hearing from me for my next visiting！
Thanks again, Jolie and Elisa for giving us an safely & unforgettable round trip.

Fantastic Trip - Very Professional
Myself and a friend booked a safari to coincide with a trip to Uganda. I was very impressed with the planning team. As our personal plans (outside the safari) were constantly changing, we needed to keep changing our safari. For this Achieve (Jolie) were excellent. It was possible to change our plans by email and the communication was excellent.
On the safari our guide (Patrick) was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We really enjoyed our time with him and saw and learned a huge amount. The accommodation in Pakuba was clean with good food and right in the middle of the bush. In fact, the accommodation was better than some supposed 5* places we stayed in at Entebbe
Overall, I would definitely recommend Achieve Global Safaris

Perfect three day trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park.
I was concerned with making this commitment from around the world sight unseen and I could not be more delighted. Jolie helped work out the details and money exchange, Tom was the guide and driver for the whole trip, knowledgeable and entertaining. I saw both life in rural Africa and animals in the park. Tom went above and beyond to make this a great trip!

A good break
Organization ahs been easy and well adjusted to our expectations thanks to Jolie
Good trip the driver knows the country perfectly, good time saving.
BEWARE OF SCAMMER / LOW QUALITY
I am glad that I did not book with Achieve. I saw their van while in Murchison and it wasnt nearly as nice as the 4x4 with a pop top that we enjoyed for a better price with Uzuri (https://uzurisafaris.com/) instead.
I had originally planned on booking with Achieve, but their email account was hacked and I sent a wire for $3,140 USD to scammers. The owner Polly Kamugisha took zero responsibility even though I took steps to verify the fake instructions sent from their email account. I even messaged an Achieve employee on whatsapp to "confirm the email with updated instructions are legit? Just wanna make sure nobody sent a fake message from your email account" (see screenshot).
I wouldnt normally air my dirty laundry like this but the world should know that the business owner's response to the incident was that I should seek help from the police... not only is he ignorant about the likelihood of a recovery via law enforcement, but I am still shocked that he doesnt think Achieve has any responsibility for the instructions sent from their compromised email account. Wouldnt even agree to split it.
Probably would have been more victims if I hadn't separately reached out to a 3rd party lodge in my efforts to verify the suspicious instructions sent from Achieve's email address. They called Polly to make him aware of my concerns before I sent the wire.
Don't expect Achieve to be there for you if anything goes wrong! Have the time of your life with Uzuri or any number of better companies out there!

Gorilla Trek Tour Uganda
I had a great experience with Achieve Global Safaris. My guide Hassan was professional, organized and helpful. As a solo female traveller, it's always important to find a reliable and trustworthy organization and Achieve Global Safari's was great to me. Jolie always answered all my emails and questions quickly and professionally. I had an amazing time in Bwindi with the gorillas and if I'm back in Uganda I will definitely consider booking another tour with Achieve Global Safaris.

Gorilla Safari
Jolie arranged our booking. She was so pleasant and helpful. The safari was absolutely wonderful. I was a little nervous of the hike but it was amazing. Bwindi forest is really beautiful. I recommend a porter as it was very slippery. The gorillas were so peaceful. Thanks Jolie!

Will definitely use again!
I would like to say a big thank you to Jolie who arranged out trip to Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth National Park over 5 days. Nothing was too much trouble. Jolie was really helpful and responded immediately to any emails I sent. There was no problems with anything except for Parkview in Queen Elizabeth National Park who had over booked guest, however this was not the fault of Achieve Global Safaris. The hotel issue was resolved. The driver and guide Jon was excellent, going out of his way to help with anything. He is a completely trustworthy man. His driving skills were good and local knowledge was excellent. The vehicle we used was large and comfortable.
Thank you to Jolie and Jon for giving myself and my family and incredible unforgettable experience of Uganda.
