Dav Safaris is an excellent and professional operator. Very flexible and their guides are amazing!
We just returned from an unforgettable 2-week customized tour through Uganda with Dav Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier. From the start, the company was incredibly flexible, accommodating every specific request for our itinerary.
The vehicle provided was in great condition and perfect for the terrain. I also really appreciated that they offered several accommodation tiers for each day; even when we chose to upgrade, it was clear that every lodge they suggested had been thoroughly vetted for quality.
Most importantly, our guide Richard was the highlight of the trip. He is an incredible driver, super knowledgeable about the wildlife and the country's history, and just an all-around great person to spend two weeks with. I can’t recommend Dav Safaris enough—thanks for an awesome time, guys. You truly made our trip

Great communication, service and value
We were volunteering in Uganda and before leaving had to fulfill our childhood dream of seeing the gorillas in their natural space. Because we were short on time, we booked the 4 day chimpanzee and gorilla trek. My friend did a lot of research on safari companies prior and Dav Safari was highly recommended. We were not disappointed! From beginning to end the communication with Dav Safaris was easy and thorough. Our guide, Ben picked us up and we revelled in the luxurious van that we spent the next 4 days travelling in. (Especially after our volunteering trip in a simple uncomfortable van.) Comfortable reclining seats (perfect for naps on the long drives), each equipped with a phone charging station, a cooler on-hand for drinks. Ben was very professional, an excellent driver, got us to each destination safely and on time. He was friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the areas we were driving through or to. My friend had a couple of days of feeling not so well and Ben went out of his way to call a nurse friend and pick up some medication for her. Very kind! After 4 days it felt like we were leaving a friend. The trackers at our chimpanzee and gorilla trekking points were also professional and knowledgeable. We always felt safe. Seeing these beautiful animals was such a high. The hotels that Dav Safaris had booked for us were lovely, sometimes rustic but that's exactly what we like, food was good in each place. I would like to return with more time so that I can go back to the regions, hotels and animals. It was wonderful and I will without a doubt book Dav Safaris again and ask for guide Ben for any future trips.

Tailor-made 10 days in Uganda and Rwanda
We thank Dav Safaris excellent planning of our 10 days in Uganda and Rwanda. A group of 7 friends. Always quick response to our questions and proposals during planning, everything according to our limited budget. Everything went smoothly during our visit. Our guide, Julius, was very friendly and smiley, always yes to our ideas along the itinerary. Dav Safaris have our best recommendations.

Very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around
I had a great experience with Dav Safaris. They did an excellent job planning my accommodations, made it possible to enjoy a wide range of activities while staying within my budget, and took very good care of me throughout the trip. I also really appreciate Isaac for being such a knowledgeable and supportive guide. Highly recommended!

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!
