10/10 – The trip of a lifetime. Exceptional experience from start to finish!
I travelled solo on DAV Safaris' 7-day Uganda safari, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From my very first enquiry until the end of the trip, the communication was always incredibly fast, friendly and professional. Every question I had was answered promptly, making me feel confident and well prepared before arriving in Uganda.
The itinerary exceeded all my expectations. Of course, the gorilla trekking was an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience and the absolute highlight of the trip. However, I was equally impressed by the beautiful waterfalls, the boat cruise, and the incredible game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we were lucky enough to see an amazing variety of wildlife, incl. the tree climbing lions! Every day offered something unique, making the entire journey exciting and unforgettable. Even the drive-days were good!
One of the reasons I chose DAV Safaris was because ethical wildlife tourism is extremely important to me, and they fully lived up to my expectations. At no point did I feel that animals were being disturbed or exploited for tourism. The experiences always respected nature and wildlife, allowing us to observe animals responsibly in their natural environment. That gave me great peace of mind and made the entire experience even more meaningful.
I was so impressed by their commitment to ethical tourism that when I later asked them for a recommendation for a local tour operator in Zanzibar, they suggested a company that followed exactly the same values. That consistency says a lot about DAV Safaris and is something I truly appreciate.
A very special thank you goes to my guide, Richard. He was simply exceptional. Always punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about his country. He answered every question I had, shared fascinating insights about Uganda's wildlife, history and culture, and even taught me many words in Luganda, making the experience feel even more authentic and personal.
As a solo female traveller, I couldn't have asked for a better guide and companion. Richard made me feel safe, comfortable and welcome throughout the entire journey: webale! :)
To make everything even more special, the lodge at where we stayed on my bday, surprised me with an unforgettable birthday cake and some singing. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a memory I will treasure forever. They truly went above and beyond to make my trip special.
The price was absolutely fair considering the outstanding quality of the organisation, accommodation, guiding and experiences included. Everything was perfectly arranged, allowing me to simply enjoy the adventure without worrying about anything.
Uganda was amazing, and DAV Safaris played a huge part in making that happen.
I wholeheartedly recommend DAV Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, ethical and unforgettable safari experience. I would choose them again without hesitation.
Thank you, DAV Safaris. Thank you, Richard. Hopefully, this wasn't goodbye - but see you again one day!

A Dream come true
We did a 7-day safari with chimpanzee and gorilla trekking with Dav Safaris, and the entire week was an absolute dream.
We stayed in beautiful lodges, enjoyed great food, and, above all, had unforgettable encounters with an incredible variety of wildlife: rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary; lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, and crocodiles in Murchison Falls National Park; leopards, tree-climbing lions, and huge herds of elephants in Queen Elizabeth National Park; chimpanzees in Kalinzu Forest; and, of course, the unforgettable mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. These are experiences that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
All of this was made even more special by Solomon, the best guide we could have wished for. He is incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the wildlife but also about Uganda's culture, history, and people. He was always happy to answer our questions, was wonderful to talk to, and is an exceptionally safe driver, so we felt completely safe throughout the entire trip.
All in all, this was truly a 12/10 experience, and we couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone considering a safari in Uganda.

Above all expectations
We did a 5-day primates safari, and it was absolutely amazing. Everything went flawlessly, from the booking process to the airport drop-off. We had an amazing guide, Isaac, who made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the trip.
I also had some health issues during the safari, and Isaac went above and beyond to help. He spoke with the rangers and made sure I was still able to complete the gorilla trek, which meant the world to me.
I can't recommend this company enough. If you're looking for a well-organized safari with excellent service and a truly memorable experience, this is the one.
Responsive
We had to switch from an Uganda trip to a Rwanda trip due to Ebola and Dav was very helpful in helping us switch. Our guide Issac was accommodating our needs in the entire trip. Recommend!
An unforgettable safari - safe, seamless and incredible
I had the most incredible 3-day experience with Dav Safaris, and I can't recommend them highly enough.
From the moment I was picked up, everything was seamless and perfectly organised. As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was my guide, Godwin. He was warm, positive, knowledgeable, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. We had long conversations during the drives, and he shared so much about Uganda—from its landscapes, birdlife, and local food to its history and culture. I learned so much along the way.
Godwin was also incredibly attentive and responsive to my needs throughout the trip. As I had been travelling non-stop before arriving, I was starting to feel quite tired and hoped for a shorter gorilla trek if possible. He made sure my request was clearly communicated during the briefing, and I was placed in a group with a shorter, easier trek. I really appreciated the extra effort he made to ensure I had the best possible experience.
The itinerary itself was fantastic. Trekking to see both the chimpanzees and the gorillas was, of course, the highlight of the trip, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. It was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
Uganda is an absolutely beautiful country, and this safari made me fall in love with it even more. Thank you to Dav Safaris, and especially to Godwin, for making this such a memorable adventure. I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!
