AMAZING and trustworthy. The best tour operator there is.
This was an AMAZING experience. The process of arranging the tour went super smoothly and was clear. They had great accommodation choices and even chose the best spots were you stop for breaks and lunch. They definitely pay attention to details and tailor the experience in such a way that you feel super comfortable, safe, while you enjoy at the maximum. Thank you to Rigan for arranging everything and being so kind. Also special thanks to our guide Benjamin!!!! He is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, ready to help, reliable, fun, and took great care of us! I learned so much during this trip and had so much fun as well! It was definitely a unique vacation experience :) thank you!!!

Beautiful experience in Uganda
We spent 1 week in Uganda and it was amazing. We did 3 trekking: chimpanzees, gorillas and golden monkeys. Our guide, Julius, has been perfect from the beginning to the very end, always kind and helpful. We never felt unsafe. His knowledge about Uganda and the parks’ staffs made everything running smoothly and our gorilla’s family was just amazing.
We highly recommend having a trip with him

Fantastic Experience
I recently travelled to Uganda with Dav Safaris’s with my two older teenage children. Our guide Julius was amazing. From the moment he picked us up he was well organized and made sure we were where we needed to be. He was very knowledgeable about Uganda. Julius had a very good rapport and relationship with the people working at the chimp and gorilla trekking locations and we ended up with amazing guides and an awesome gorilla family to spend time with, I think thanks to Julius’s relationship with the experience providers.
I highly recommend Dav Safaris and Julius especially.

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.

Dav Safari is a professional and reliable tour operator offering unforgettable wildlife experiences
We recently traveled with Dav Safari and had an unforgettable experience! Thanks to their excellent organization, we were able to see the majestic mountain gorillas — truly one of the most breathtaking adventures of our lives.
A special thank you to our guide and driver, Isaac. He was incredibly friendly, always punctual, and very knowledgeable about the region. With him, we felt safe, well taken care of, and learned so much about Uganda’s nature and culture. Thank you for an amazing journey!

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking
Our chimpanzee and gorilla trekking safari was truly an unforgettable experience—something that words can hardly capture. Both parks were incredibly well organized, and the treks were made smooth and enriching by knowledgeable and passionate guides who truly love what they do.
A special shoutout to our guide, Jerry. He was fantastic—friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond to accommodate our tight schedule, even driving long hours to make sure we could do everything in a compact time frame. Jerry is a young man who embodies the warm and welcoming spirit of Uganda, and having him as our guide made the trip even more memorable.
One thing to note: some of the roads in more remote areas were in poor condition, which made travel slower than expected. It's a good idea to factor in extra time when planning your itinerary.
If you're considering this adventure, go for it—you won't regret it.
