8 amazing days in Uganda
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.

Wonderful trip
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.

Great professionals!
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.

A Safe, Well-Organized and Truly Memorable Safari Experience
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.
