Fantastic safari experience in Uganda, highly recommend Jerry and Dav Safaris
5/5

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.

10/10 would recommend
5/5

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.

nice and unforggetable
5/5

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.
