A fantastic trip
A grand adventure we had for 19 days with Julius. We chose to do a mid price accommodation tour that involved over 7 parks and circumnavigating Uganda. All accommodations were beautiful and safe. The hosts were gracious and very helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of Julius. He was kind, very knowledgeable and incredibly patient. Despite some literal bumps in the road he was always calm and willing to make adjustments, a great representative of the company. We had a fantastic time, some great laughs and even better memories. Thank you DAV

Great value and we loved our guide
I did the 3 day gorilla trek with two friends. Our guide Jerry was super knowledgeable, a great driver (important for the 8-9 hour journeys to and from Entebbe) and incredibly genuine. We were pleased to find out that we had a van to ourselves, where we stored our suitcases. The accommodation exceeded my expectations, with stunning views. We especially enjoyed bird watching and canoeing at Itambira Island. Our lunch stops were great and Jerry made sure the vegetarians in our group had plenty to eat.
If I were to do it again, I think I would either extend the trip to 4-5 days or fly into Kigali airport (instead of Entebbe) to shorten the drives to Bwindi reserve.
I recommend packing a comfortable face mask, as you will need to wear one during your one hour with the gorillas. We didn’t wear gloves or gaiters, just tucked our pants into our socks. I was amazed by how close we got to be to the gorillas. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

Incredible experience; Jerry was THE BEST!
We had an incredible experience with Dev Safari. We did the 3-day gorilla trek in Bwindi; lots of driving the first and last day (8-10 hours) but totally worth it. Our guide Jerry was incredible — he was so kind and knowledgeable, kept us safe on the roads, and was superbly helpful for any accommodations we needed. Accommodations were very nice and clean, food was plenty at each meal and delicious! The lodge on an island is an absolute dream — I would have loved to stay there longer. Overall, we had a wonderful time, it was great value for money, and we plan to use Dav Safaris on future trips! Highly recommend!!!

Dav Safaris will meet anyone's expectations
I had the 10 days tour in Rwanda and Uganda, all went smooth since the first contact, communication was very exhaustive. I had a private tour, Benjamin was my excellent guide and driver, he is very knowledgeable and problem solving. The hotels and lodges were lovely, very clean, the staff was sweet, smiling and serviceable. Food was also very tasty and cooked with fresh produce. I saw many animals, including gorillas and chimps. I definitely recommend Dav Safaris.
Really tried to make sure I saw and did everything I wanted to, super accomodating.
I went for 5 days 4 nights and it was fantastic. All of the areas we went to in Uganda were incredible, but of course the gorilla tracking was a complete highlight - that said, all other parts were amazing and I couldn't fault Godfrey as a guide. I was incredibly well looked after and he ensured we saw everything that I wanted to see, indulging me with so many photo stops!!
The accommodation was great, not flash, but with everything you need (clean sheets and towels, fresh drinking water, good simple meals and a hot shower at the end of every day) and the staff went well above expectations in every way. The hot water bottle in my bed at Rushaga was a really thoughtful bonus :). Each place we stayed had a highlight at the accommodation - the elephants on the first and second nights, and the incredible views on both the third and final nights.
I felt safe the whole trip and the Ugandan people were just lovely. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of a safari in Uganda.
An added bonus is that the company is fully Ugandan.
