Professional, quick replies and awesome guide!
5/5

Traveled Solo and could not have gotten a better guide with Isaac! Super friendly, showed me around, made changes to the itinerary on the fly because I did not feel well. Added recommendations and things to do so I got the most out of my visit. I had a great time and very competent, friendly and funny guide with Isaac by my side! Can’t recommend him enough!

Exceeded our expectations
5/5

After searching through many tour operators we chose Dav. Mainly because their communication during all the questions we asked was timely and informative. When we arrived in Kigali we were told Isaac would pick us up at 8.30. He was early which was great and he was absolutely the best. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We visited the Rwanda mountain gorillas and golden monkeys and had a great experience.

Great time was had all our activities were professionally accomplished by our guides and driver..Collins our driver was excellent, always on time and attended to any request we required. Our entire Ugandan experience was excellent could not have been better.
Communication between Davs office was very comforting knowing we were in good hands.

Amazing Experince!
5/5

I cannot say enough about how absolutly beautiful Uganda is and how grateful we are to Dav Safaris for making our trip here so amazing. Do not hesitate to book with Dav!

My sister and I did the 4 day 3 night trip that includes Chimp and Gorilla trekking. I got a lot of quotes from other tour groups and Dav by far came in as the most reasonible price.

Our driver/guide Goodwin was beyond amazing, I cannot say enough about how great he made our trip. He was so genuinly nice and shared so much about Uganda. He took such good care of us the whole trip and even helped us get placed in an easy hike for the gorillas because of some health problems. He was a great driver, I was very confident in his skills and was never uncomfortable even on some scary small crazy roads at night! I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world and I can say Goodwin has been the best driver/guide I have ever had, Dav Safaris is lucky to have him. We all got a little sad to say goodbye after our 4 days together.

All the hotels were great, we were actually upgraded to a nicer hotel for our first one without even knowing until we got there!

The one thing to keep in mind though when booking is that this exact trip is a LOT of driving because you are covering a lot in just a few days. Make sure to pay attention to the drive times your driver gives you not what is on your itinerary. Our itinerary said 5-6 hours each day but the actual drive times were 8-9 hours and there wasnt any additional traffic or anything, that was the normal drive time. After speaking to some other travelors from other tour groups, listing shorter drive times seems to be the norm for Uganda. The drives are beautiful and scenic and you get to go through a lot of small villages and the van is uper comfortable, so its totally worth it but just be preapred you are barely at the hotels. If you have the time and money to add an extra day I would add a day between the chimps and the gorillas so you are not starting an 8 hr drive after finishing the chimps that way you are not arriving at the beuatiful Gorilla hotels at 8-9 pm. This way you get to spend some time at the nice hotels and enjoy their views!

The best experience with a tour operator
5/5

Found them on instagram, Dav Safaris made me secure from the beginning. Meeting Richard was literally amazing: never met a person so responsible, so smiley and so in love with his job. He lived with us exploring Uganda and explaining all the stuff I ask. When we gad to come back to Italy, we were malinchonically happy: finish our journey but meeting new people, feeling the savana and having new fantastic memories.
