Very good organised, good hotels to stay and perfect driver Charles!
We booked a 4-day tour with Dav safaris, start and end in Kigali (Rwanda), visiting the gorilla's in the Mgahinga gorilla National Park in Uganda, the equator in Uganda and a perfect stay on the Itambira island on lake Bunyonyi. The driver Charles did a perfect job, he is very friendly and helpfull and knows the interesting places where to go. Everything we asked is worked out fine! Thanks to Rigan and Charles.

Wonderful tour
We have just completed our tour of Rwanda and Uganda with our driver, Julius. We are so sad to leave as we have had a wonderful time. Julius took us to Uganda to see the gorillas then to Rwanda to the genocide museum, visit Lake Kivu, see the chimpanzees, walk the suspension bridge in Nwenge National Park and visit the King’s Palace. The price and value of the tour was excellent. Regan helped us book a wonderful tour that was bespoke to our preferences and from the moment Julius picked us up from the airport until he finally dropped us off, he took such exceptional care of us. He was always prompt and organised for our appointments, explained everything very clearly and was very knowledgeable. We only had one problem during the tour, where one of our hotels cancelled our night’s stay but Dav Safaris quickly found us alternative accommodation, refunded us the difference in price and bought us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience.
At our last minute request, Julius even managed to fit in a farewell drink at the Hotel Milles Collines (Hotel Rwanda). Thank you Dav Safaris. Thank you Julius. We thoroughly enjoyed our Uganda trip and fell in love with Rwanda. We would highly recommend touring with this company.

Amazing attention to detail
We booked Dav Safaris because we wanted to support the local community.
Our tour guide was so knowledgable and helpful with every aspect of visiting the gorillas and chimpanzees.
We recommend them highly!

“A Memorable Ugandan Safari with Dav Safari & Our Amazing Driver Godfrey”
We had the chance to travel with Dav Safari on an exceptional journey across Uganda: Ziwa, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale, Ishasha, the unforgettable gorilla trek in Bwindi, followed by Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo.
The itinerary was rich and perfectly organized, with exciting activities every single day. The accommodations were carefully selected, always comfortable and well located, and the food was excellent everywhere we went.
A very special thank you to our driver Godfrey, who truly made this trip unforgettable. His driving skills, even on the most challenging roads, made us feel safe at all times. Always attentive, caring, and responsive to our needs, he looked after us until the very last moment.
We are also grateful to the Dav Safari team for their professionalism: the proposed itinerary was exactly what we hoped for, and their quick intervention to secure us a room with a view on the last day was remarkable and highly appreciated.
We will keep lifelong memories of the breathtaking landscapes, the incredible wildlife, and above all, the kindness of the Ugandan people.
A big thank you to Dav Safari – we wholeheartedly recommend them!

Tour was organzied perfectly and was great!
I'm travelling a lot, but this was definitely one of the best trips of my life, especially the Gorillas! Dav Safaris organized everything perfectly. There was one change in our itinerary, but in the end we saw an additional place (lake bunyonyi) which was absolutely beautiful!! Tonny was the best guide you could ask for!

nice and unforggetable
I'm grateful to our guide, Darius, for helping us enjoy a comfortable trip, both physically and mentally. It was wonderful to stay at a nice hotel. The gorilla experience was unforgettable. We were fortunate to be able to meet a gorilla family relatively easily, and this was a testament to the professionalism of the Gorilla National Park staff. The Uganda tour was more economical than the Rwanda tour. I'm very satisfied with DAV Tours. However, the repeated requests for tips—three times before the gorilla tour began, for the welcome performance team, the advance team that searched for the gorillas, and the safety personnel who accompanied us—made me feel uncomfortable. The Batwa Pygmi tour, in particular, was not very meaningful to me. I wanted to see and experience their lives, but the sudden welcome performance and handicraft sales made us feel burdened. In short, it felt like they viewed us as just tippers rather than welcoming travelers.

10/10 would recommend
We booked a 7-day package tour with Dav Safari and we’re so glad we did! Even before arriving, communication and planning were great. We fell in love with Uganda. It is such a beautiful place, full of things to see and visit and the wildlife and nature are simply out of this world! We enjoyed our experience so much mainly because we were in the capable hands of this company and our guide Benjamin. Benjamin has been an excellent driver and safari guide, he’s such a knowledgeable person, always happy to help and ready to answer any questions. The tour was packed full of activities and we got a really good feel of the country in our limited time. The standard accommodation offered with our tour was super good quality, to the point we were surprised it was the ‘standard’ package. Lodges were chosen which might be a bit off the beaten track and clearly managed locally, which we loved as it made the experience more authentic. In conclusion, one of the best adventures we have ever been on! 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic safari experience in Uganda, highly recommend Jerry and Dav Safaris
We booked our tour with Dav Safaris and had an amazing experience. Our guide, Jerry, was excellent! Very knowledgeable, friendly, good driver, and always attentive to our needs. He explained a lot along the way, tailored the program to make it more personal, and was always punctual.
The itinerary included gorilla trekking, chimpanzee tracking, Lake Bunyonyi, and a cultural village tour – all of which were amazing highlights. To see all this you have quite some distance to cover so you also get a great impression of Uganda as a country. The selection of lodges and food throughout the trip was also very good.
Although the gorilla and chimpanzee permits are quite expensive (a fixed price set by the government, part of which contributes to the conservation), the tour overall offered great value for money.
We highly recommend Jerry as a guide and had a great experience with Dav Safaris as a company.
