Best safari possible
5/5

I did a 4 day safari (that turned into 5 days) which included gorilla trekking and chimpanzee trekking, among other things. All of the activities that Reagan planned in my itinerary were very exciting. The gorilla trek, of course, was the highlight of it all and it was truly a captivating experience that I will never forget. That activity, although expensive, is a must do item. The chimpanzee trekking was also a unique experience. Even the boat ride on the Kazinga Channel which I didn’t expect much of, turned out to be such a great experience. The meals were all delicious, and the “budget” accommodations were actually extremely luxurious for me. There were some issues caused by a road closure on the last day which completely changed my itinerary. It was out of our control and nobody could be blamed for it. Reagan worked with me to fix it and I very much appreciate it. It was stressful for everyone but it all turned out okay in the end. This is a company that will look out for you to make sure that you’re satisfied. Customer service is very important for them. My driver, Patrick, was incredible. I had such a great time driving around southern Uganda with him, the drive was the second best part of the trip. I always felt safe with his expert driving abilities, and he was okay with talking, listening to music, or just driving with the windows down and staring at the landscapes. He would also look out for me in any areas where there could be petty theft, and raise the windows so that nobody would be tempted to take my phone from my hands. Essentially, he made sure from day 1 until I was at the airport that nothing bad would happen to me. Hands down, I recommend taking a safari/trekking/touring trip with Dav Safaris. Don’t even waste your time looking at other companies. Dav Safaris will offer you the best combination of itinerary and price, and you can be confident that if anything goes wrong, that you will be taken care of. Thank you so much for everything.

Best safari possible :)
5/5

What an amazing experience! The personalised service provided was unbeatable. My guide knew all the right spots to go to see the animals and the best bits of information about them, very interesting conversations about the safari and the country in general. Would repeat every time, and thank you for the grasshoppers, they were actually delicious :)

life at lake Mburo National park
5/5

Travelling to Lake Mburo with Dav Safaris was all bravo, guide Amos made it as Professional guides do, he was really helpful to us, he made the tour enjoyful. Accomodation was very good in the hotel of Mestil where they cared for us like babies. On our way to Mburo it was amazing, we had to see the beautiful features of Uganda which guide Amos really explained to us. On reaching Lake Mburo we had boat cruise which was above our expectations, it was all fun at Lake Mburo. Great thanks go to guide Amos plus the entire Dav Safaris team for such wonderful preparations.

incredible Experience
5/5

I decided to go to visit Uganda to make a pilgrimage to a Polish Church near Masindi where some of my family stayed as refugees after WW2. I then added on a safari tour to Murchison Falls. David was our guide and he really pulled through for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the environment (animals & plants) as well as the culture. I left feeling that I really learned a lot about Uganda as a whole.
I gained an appreciation & understanding for the wildlife and culture that I had not expected. He was accommodating when we decided to change our itinerary a bit at the last minute. He also was very respectful and supportive during my emotional visit to the Church. He even went to find a guide for church- someone who knew well of the history as he lived in Masindi his whole life and heard stories from the elders. It was really a gift to receive this new information - I was overwhelmed that I provided this opportunity to reconnect to a past that was lost with the death of my grandmother. As we were 2 women travelling for the first time to Uganda, David made us feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I would highly recommend him and Dav Safaris to anyone, even if you are just a solo female traveler (as I would have been had my coworker not decided to join me).

Superb tour
5/5

Amos and Dav Safaris arranged a completely fantastic trip for my wife and I. We traveled throughout Uganda viewing and photographing 534 species of birds and many animals of Uganda including the shoebill stork, mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, zebras, Cape buffalo, elephant, and hippopotamus. The accommodations were always comfortable for the areas we visited.

Love Uganda
5/5

We visited Uganda in May 2021 and used Dav Safaris for our gorilla trekking experience. There were 10 of us and we had a fantastic time. Reagan and David picked up our group from Mukono and they were super accommodating about everything. Our drive to Bwindi was long but they never minded stopping for bathroom breaks or letting us take pictures. David stopped to buy the sweetest little bananas and shared them with our group and they were delicious. Reagan was super responsive by email and very much willing to help get us what we needed. We also managed to schedule an extra trip into Queen Elizabeth National park and they took us there and helped us get back to entebbe for our flight. Our lodge accommodations had amazing food and they were also wonderful and very welcoming. All in all, it was a fantastic experience.

Magical Experience
5/5

We initially booked our trip in 2019 for late 2020, and due to Covid, we obviously couldn't then make that trip.
Reagan contacted us as the world prepared to go into lockdown, and we rescheduled for late 2021, with Reagan rescheduling our gorilla tracking permits.

We went on the 12 days gorillas and wildlife safaris, driving from Entebbe to Murchison Falls, then down the country, both tracking chimps & gorillas, going on multiple game drives, river cruises and community walks. Our driver Amos was excellent at spotting animals in the parks, extremely knowledgable, informative, and really efficient with time keeping and making sure we were clear what we were doing, where we were going, and comfortable both with our activities, and in general throughout the trip.

We were very lucky in that we saw almost every animal there is to see in uganda, and the gorilla and chimp experiences were mind blowing.

All in all, I would recommend this tour, and Uganda in general, to anybody that wants to come to Africa and have a magical experience.
I high recommend Dav Safaris
