Extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and attentive.
5/5

“General” Julius made our tour outstanding from the moment he picked us up at the airport.

Julius is very knowledgeable and always had an answer for our questions. He also had a great ability to know when to make changes anticipating we would be tired. Julius was very attentive and made sure we were safe at all times. He was never far when we made a restroom stop.
We had a minor medical emergency and he responded to our text within seconds and arrived with a doctor in less than 20 minutes.
The accommodations, food and destinations were excellent and we were very satisfied with our experience. We had so much fun that the 12 days went by so fast! We 100% recommend Dav Safaris, with Julius as the guide and specifically in Uganda. It’s a beautiful country with lots to see and we always felt safe, even wandering around on our own.

Provided exactly what we signed up for
5/5

We did a 4 day safari, doing both the gorillas and chimpanzees.
Transfers were smooth and vehicle was comfortable with ample water always provided. Due to permit timings, our tour was actually done in reverse order but that was communicated to us and worked out fine. The accomodation we had was lovely. Communication in the lead up was okay, they told us everything we needed to know but nothing extra.
Shever was our guide / driver and was great! He was very personable and knowledgeable. He was always on time for pickups and gave clear outlines of what to expect for the day. If we were to do this again, we would love to have him.

Amazing and unforgettable experience
5/5

We did the 4 day Gorilla and Chimp trek, starting in Rwanda and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was so well planned and our guide Shiver was very organised, on time and made sure we were having a good time.

The accommodation were a lot better than expected, food was great and the optional activities were really good. There is a lot of driving, but it goes by pretty quickly.

Thanks again, Shever!

Safari - Uganda Sep/2026
5/5

Great experience with Dav Safari and would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to come to Uganda.

Throughout the trip, I had the opportunity to see an incredible variety of wildlife and experience some unforgettable moments. Uganda is a beautiful country, and I was also impressed by how welcoming and friendly the people were everywhere I went.

A special thanks to my guide, Goodwin, who was extremely attentive, careful, and helpful throughout the entire journey.

Overall, it was a trip very well organized

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DAV Safaris — Extraordinary Service, Unforgettable Experience
If you are planning an Africa safari and want a company that will not only craft an incredible itinerary but genuinely take care of you every single step of the way — DAV Safaris is your answer. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I just completed a 25 day journey across Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa — and every single goal I set for this once in a lifetime trip was achieved:
✅ The Big Five — completed
✅ Gorilla trekking — breathtaking
✅ Chimpanzee tracking — spectacular
✅ Golden monkey trekking — magical
✅ The Great Wildebeest Migration river crossing — once in a lifetime
✅ The magnificent wines of South Africa — the perfect finale
But what truly sets DAV Safaris apart from any other company is not just the extraordinary experiences they arranged — it is the genuine personal care they showed me throughout the entire journey.
When I ran into a cash situation they personally took me to the ATM and currency exchange without a second thought. When I ran out of medication they took me directly to a pharmacy and made sure I had everything I needed before we continued. These are not services you expect from a safari company. DAV Safaris goes so far above and beyond the call of duty that they don't just plan your trip — they become your family away from home.
Every guide I worked with was outstanding — knowledgeable, passionate, professional and genuinely invested in making sure my experience was everything I dreamed it would be. Africa is more beautiful, more complex and more humbling than I ever imagined, and having guides who understood that and shared it with such pride made every single day richer than the last.
But I must give the most special recognition to Julius — who was absolutely extraordinary throughout this entire journey. Julius guided me through every single trek — gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe Forest, golden monkey trekking, and the canopy sky bridge walk high above the rainforest. Each of these was physically demanding in its own way, and Julius was there every single step — patient, encouraging, supportive and completely dedicated to making sure I succeeded. Because of Julius I stood face to face with mountain gorillas. Because of Julius I watched chimpanzees swing through the trees above me. Because of Julius I did things I genuinely wasn't sure I could do.
Julius — you are one in a million. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏
This trip was the number one dream of my life. DAV Safaris made every single moment of it perfect. If Africa is calling you — and trust me, it is — answer it with DAV Safaris by your side.
You will be in the very best hands on the continent. 🌍🦍🦁🐘🦒🌅

The tour operator was knowledgeable, efficient, well connected and entertaining.
5/5

I didn’t know what to expect when I came to Uganda and Rwanda. Meeting the Dev crew was such a privilege because they were so genuine and invested in making sure I was given a strong experience. The level of service is something that most should strive to achieve. The team was fantastic, and Godwin was a lot of fun to drive around with. He is gold so just know if you get him you’re going to be well taken care of.

Uganda Rwanda 10 day Tour
5/5

Our communications with Dav Safari were always timely and everything we requested and that was outlined in the tour was provided with no problems. Their reliability was excellent and their price in this market is very competitive. By far the most valued part of our tour was our guide Julius who provided a very personal approach, suggested excellent modifications based on our needs and secured every request that we made. We felt safe and well cared for. Julius went beyond his duties when he organized a surprise birthday celebration for me.

Dav Safaris went above and beyond to meet our expectations for a wonderful safari holiday!
5/5

Dav Safaris organized a thorough and very enjoyable safari and were very good to personalize the itinerary as requested. Our guide Julius was very attentive to our needs and worked hard to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of our holiday. We especially appreciated how he kept us apprised of of each days events and ensured our gorilla trekking experience was fantastic. I’d highly recommend them when choosing a safari company.
