Excellent tour, guide, accomodations and food! Sit back, relax and enjoy.
We have just arrived back from a last minute 10 day tour organised by Dav Safaris in beautiful Uganda. We had a wonderful time and Solomon was an outstanding driver and guide, who gave it his all to make our trip worthwhile. We are so pleased with our experience, the shared laughs during the game drives and dinnertimes and definitely recommend him!
Booking a last minute trip to Uganda (we confirmed the tour on the 31st of January to leave on the 10th of February) was a bit stressful because we didn’t have much time to arrange flights, visa and a tour. After having requested quotations from multiple company’s we decided to go with Dav Safaris. Their offer was transparent on drive times, activities and accommodations. Optional upgrades for accommodations along with the additional costs were included. This allowed to research the different accommodations but also to upgrade at specific locations instead of just choosing basic, midrange of luxury for the whole trip. After our research we decided to stick with all the proposed accommodations and didn’t upgrade anywhere, because they all looked wonderful and had excellent reviews. Our own experience only confirmed this.
In addition the offer was at a reasonable price and we read many positive reviews about Dav Safaris on different platforms (Facebook groups, Google reviews, Tripadvisor).
Although the original offer was a standard itinerary, it was clear we could request adjustments to customize it to fit our wishes. For instance, we added a hike to the crater lakes after our Chimpanzee trekking because we liked to spend a bit more time in nature.
Arranging the trip so last minute felt very stressful at times, but once we arrived it was clear everything was taken care of and we could just relax and enjoy. Solomon was an excellent guide who handled everything with great care and communicated very clearly with us. He was calm, held a short briefing every evening during dinner about the next day, what time we would have breakfast, what time we should leave and which activities we would be doing. At one point he expressed concerns about the itinerary for the last day but he helped think ahead about how we could resolve the issue without losing out on any activity or experiences. This really showed his engagement to giving us the best possible trip.
Other than that, Solomon even fit in a couple of extra game drives when we were up for it, so we really got the most out of our time and money spent in and on the parks. It was clear he also just really enjoyed doing them, which likewise added to our excitement. Something else we were very impressed with is how he knew all the roads by heart. He didn’t you use any gps at any point, which showed he’s experienced and you could trust him, he knew what he was doing.
So overall, we had a great trip to Uganda and excellent first experience in Africa thanks to Dav Safaris!
Tips for travellers: definitely bring all your waterproof gear for the trekkings, and, if you have them, bring some binoculars. They can come in handy for game drives!
Great experience with Dav Safaris
We had a great experience with Dav Safaris for a 5-day trip of Chimpanzee and Gorilla trekking. The itinerary was well arranged (the trekking experience was absolutely amazing), the accommodations were clean and spacious and increasingly better throughout the journey. Our guide and driver Gracious was a gentle and professional young man. We enjoyed the time with him and would recommend Dav to all.

Most Amazing Trip with Dav Safaris and our Guide Gracious!
We went on a 5-day chimpanzee and mountain gorilla safari through Rwanda and Uganda with davsafari and couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Communication and organization with Reagan was simply perfect and very straightforward. All aspects of the trip went as planned and were handled smoothly, punctually, and pleasantly. The lodges, including the rooms and food, were also perfect. On our previous trips, we sometimes had problems with the food, but not here. The food was always fresh, clean, and delicious. The lodges were in a great location for trekking. The rooms were also clean and very spacious. Encountering wild chimpanzees and gorillas was truly indescribable, but the absolute highlight of our trip was our guide, Kato Gracious. He was truly the nicest and best guide we could have asked for. We had the best time with him and enjoyed every day! On the sometimes long journeys between the national parks, he always went the extra mile to show us highlights along the way, ensuring we had an unforgettable trip. We cannot express enough how highly we recommend him. We will definitely be back, and there is no doubt that we will book with davsafari again!

Highly Recommend Benja as Your Guide in Uganda
在多位朋友的推荐下选择了这家旅行社，果然不负所望，我们的向导是Benja，他真的非常非常有耐心并且有极优秀的驾驶技术，去Jinja和去看银背大猩猩的路况很不好，这是我之前没有了解到的，但是Benja的驾驶技术高超，很会挑选道路，我家人一路都在夸赞他开车胆大心细。
除此之外，他还在路途中主动介绍路过的景点，以及在保证安全的情况下也给我们短暂停车拍照路遇的美景和一些动物，很耐心很细心。由于我们的英语不是特别好，在追踪大猩猩前的分配向导时，Benja一直跟着我们，帮我们及时跟上向导，这点很让我意外也很感动。
乌干达的旅游很精彩，但回头细想，精彩旅程最重要的就是有一位驾驶技术优异并且有时间概念的向导，这样才会大大增加游玩的体验感，很荣幸我们遇到了这么一位向导，真心感谢他并且强烈向即将要来乌干达旅行的游客推荐这家旅行社以及Benja！
Following recommendations from several friends, we chose this tour operator, and they did not disappoint. Our guide was Benja, who was incredibly patient and an exceptionally skilled driver. I hadn't realized how challenging the road conditions would be on the way to Jinja and to see the mountain gorillas, but Benja navigated them masterfully. He has a great instinct for choosing the best paths, and my family repeatedly commented on his confident yet cautious driving.
Beyond his driving, he took the initiative to point out landmarks along the way. He was also thoughtful, finding safe spots for us to briefly stop and photograph the beautiful scenery and animals we encountered. This really showed his patience and attention to detail. As our English isn't the strongest, we were especially touched when, during the guide allocation before the gorilla trek, Benja stayed with us to ensure we kept up and were assigned correctly. It was an unexpected and truly heartwarming gesture.
Our trip to Uganda was fantastic, but reflecting on it, a skilled and punctual guide is absolutely essential for such an experience; they truly elevate the entire journey. We feel so fortunate to have had Benja. We are genuinely grateful to him and highly recommend both this tour operator and Benja to anyone planning a trip to Uganda.

Job is the GOAT (greatest of all time guide)
My wife and I visited Uganda and let us say that our experience was amazing.
Our guide Job, was the perfect guide. He is so friendly, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. His genuine nature and passion with his guiding approach and really made this experience unforgettable. He was always on time, and made extra efforts to ensure all our expectations were met. He went above and beyond what other guides would do. He made videos for us capturing the highlights of the day and even made sure that we were able to see the lions during a game drive by trusting his instincts and expertise. Job always brought the energy and made every day special for us.
If you book a safari in Uganda you need to request Job Francis as your guide!
Thank you Job!
