Incredible !!
5/5

Our safari was an absolutely incredible experience. We had the chance to observe a wide variety of wildlife in breathtaking landscapes. Each day amazed us more than the last.
The choice of lodges was exceptional. Every place where we stayed and dined was outstanding, combining comfort, quality, and a true immersion in nature. We truly fell in love with one lodge in particular, and our guide arranged everything at lightning speed with the agency DAV Safari so that we could enjoy an extra night there at a lower cost. The service was impeccable!
We recommend our guide Isaac 300%. He is a cheerful person, deeply respectful of nature and wildlife, with an excellent sense of humor. Throughout the journey, he taught us so much about the country, the tribes, and even the local politics. We always felt supported, protected, and completely safe by his side.
We met as strangers and left as friends.
A huge thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Julius, a nice and helpful driver. 👍
5/5

Dear travelers, the communication between the driver and the car crew was OK. The driver speaks fluent English. Reliability was definitely not lacking. He always got us to the place on time and we enjoyed all our trips.
Uganda = chimpanzees, gorillas, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, lions, leopards, zebras, hyenas and many other animals and birds !!! I highly recommend it.

Tonny made our trip the best journey ever !
5/5

We spent 10 amazing days in Uganda thanks to Dav and our guide Tonny. We had the most amazing experience of our lives and we hope to be able to go back again. I can’t describe this journey, you have to live it yourself. But I recommend to go with Dav Safaris and especially with Tony as a guide, you’ll have a magical experience for sure !

A Safe, Well-Organized and Truly Memorable Safari Experience
5/5

I recently completed a 10 days Uganda and Rwanda safari tour with Dav Safari as a solo traveler and it exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well-planned, safe, and covered some of the most sought-after wildlife experiences including gorilla trekking, chimp tracking, and rhino encounters — opportunities that are truly difficult to find elsewhere in a single trip.

The company works with expert local guides who clearly know the terrain, the wildlife, and the culture. Accommodation along the route was comfortable, and while the internet connection at one lodge was limited to just the reception area (which made things a bit inconvenient at times), the staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. We were always well fed — plenty to eat, great quality, and well prepared.

A particular highlight of the trip was our guide Benjamin. He was patient, knowledgeable, and consistently went above and beyond. Whether helping fellow travelers, giving rangers a lift, or reporting injured wildlife for immediate treatment, his commitment really stood out. He even drove long stretches over rough roads while feeling under the weather — a true professional with impressive resilience and dedication.

Overall, I would happily travel with Dav Safari again and recommend them to others, especially those looking for a safe, well-organized, and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience.

Great professionals!
5/5

A magical experience, made even more special thanks to our guide, Benjamin. Uganda exceeded all our expectations with its breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, unforgettable encounters with chimpanzees and gorillas, and, above all, the warmth and hospitality of its people. The entire trip was flawlessly organized, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment.

Wonderful trip
5/5

We did the 6 night, seven day trip, finishing with the gorillas. Our guide and driver was Adison, and he picked us up from the hotel in Entebbe. Every single day exceeded expectations. We started with the rhino sanctuary , where we’re so close to them and then moved onto The Murchison Falls. Day 2 was a game drive, followed by one of the best river trips, and seeing huge amounts of wildlife close up. Day 3 was the drive to Queen Elizabeth National Park, which was an all day drive. We were very close to an elephant which walked past our veranda. Day 4 was an early start for chimpanzee tracking, followed by a trip on The Kazinga Channel. We thought this was the end of the activities, but we then did a game drive, with so many highlights, but a leopard at very close quarters takes some beating. Day 5 transferred through Ishasha to Bwindi gorilla land. Day 6 was the gorillas, and what an amazing experience. Our last night was on Lake Bunyonyi and the next day was the all day drive back to Entebbe. Adison put his heart and soul into this trip, his dogged perseverance resulted in some fabulous sightings, especially the Leopard. He is such a pleasant easy going man, who is popular with all the other guides and the staff at the lodges. We accepted the lodges on the itinerary, and they were all great, along with the food. Many of the roads were not tarmac and the traffic can be chaotic. Adison is without doubt, the best driver I have experienced on many tours. We felt completely safe in his hands. It was great value for money, and an experience we will never forget.

8 amazing days in Uganda
5/5

We used Dav Safari for an 8-day Uganda trip starting and ending in Entebbe, and overall the experience was very good.

The itinerary was well structured and covered all the key wildlife and nature highlights: Murchison Falls National Park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Forest, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The planning allowed us to see a wide variety of animals and landscapes without feeling rushed. Game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth were rewarding, and the Nile River cruise was a standout experience.

The major highlights of the trip were gorilla trekking in Bwindi and chimpanzee trekking in Kibale. Both experiences were exceptionally well coordinated, and Dav Safari handled permits, timings, and logistics smoothly, which made these once-in-a-lifetime activities stress-free.

Our guide, Julius, was a major strength of the trip. He was knowledgeable, calm, punctual, and made everything easy for us throughout the 8 days. From long drives to park entries and daily schedules, he managed everything professionally and was always attentive to our needs.

We chose the mid-range accommodation option. While some lodges were comfortable and well located, a few did not meet expectations in terms of quality and consistency. Based on this, we would recommend considering the luxury option if budget allows, as it would likely improve the overall comfort level significantly.

We did not manage to spot any of the big cats on this trip, which was disappointing, but that is part of wildlife travel and gives us a strong reason to return.

Overall, Dav Safari delivered a well-organized, reliable, and memorable Uganda experience, supported by an excellent guide and a strong itinerary. We would recommend them to anyone planning a first-time or comprehensive safari trip in Uganda.

A perfect experience in every aspect!
5/5

We spent an unforgettable week in Uganda with Dav Safaris, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. The tour was perfectly organized and exceeded all our expectations.
The safari was exciting, the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking was a unique and deeply moving experience, while the boat safari and the visit to the waterfalls offered breathtaking landscapes and truly memorable moments. Every activity was well planned and carried out with great professionalism.
The lodges where we stayed were simply wonderful: comfortable, beautifully set in nature, and very welcoming. A special thanks goes to our guide Job, an exceptional person — incredibly kind, friendly, and always helpful and attentive to our needs. Thanks to him, the trip was even more special.
We highly recommend Dav Safaris to anyone who wants to discover Uganda in an authentic, safe, and unforgettable way.
