Fun solo trip to see primates
Fun solo trip with Dav Safaris and guide Joyous. We saw chimps, gorillas, potto, and plenty of cool insects. Joyous is a good driver and conversationalist (shares lots of insights about Uganda). I hope I can return one day.

LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE
Dav Safari is wonderful! They planned my entire solo trip to see the gorillas and chimps with a relaxing day at lake bunyonyi to wrap it up. My tour guide Araphat was beyond amazing! He set up plenty of unique experiences for me and showed me so much of Uganda. Four days is not enough! I couldn't recommend this company enough!

Julias provided a personalised and high quality tour.
We have just returned from an 8 day Gorilla trekking tour of Uganda and had a fantastic time. Julias was our guide and made us feel very well take care of. He made us feel safe, informed and ensured we saw as much as possible. He also made sure everything ran smoothly and communicated each stage of the trip so we always knew the timeline and what to expect. We had a fantastic time and couldn’t have asked for more - thank you Julias! We would have no hesitation in recommending Dav Safari’s.

Excellent safari tour of Murchison Falls National Park
I had a wonderful private safari tour of Murchison Falls NP. Dav Safari was very professional and prompt with communication prior the safari. It was quite easy to provide the $200 deposit and then pay the rest with a combination of cash and card on arrival.
My safari guide, Julius, was amazing. He had reached out to my hotel and even met me in person on the night prior to the safari just to introduce himself and give a short briefing. Julius was so friendly and knowledgeable. It felt like he knew everyone along the different sites that we visited. I got to know about life in Uganda from our many conversations during the long drives. He is also a very safe driver, and the safari vehicle was very comfortable.
Julius always tried to make sure I had the best experience, whether it was showing me the best places to stand to capture the majestic rhinos at Ziwa Sanctuary, getting me the first choice of seating on the Nile River cruise, or taking pictures of me at the top of the falls while we were getting soaking wet. In the safari game drives themselves, Julius had this incredible eye for catching the best of the park. Not only is his vision insanely good, because he also has so many friends among the other tour guides, we were able to see some of the rarest things in the park.
The accommodation that we stayed at (Nkundwa Nile View Lodge) was also wonderful. Lovely rooms with a hot shower and beautiful view of the Nile. Attentive staff including escorts at night with flashlights that walk you to your room.
I highly recommend Dav Safaris and Julius to anyone interested in going to a safari at Murchison Falls NP!

Wonderful tour
We have just completed our tour of Rwanda and Uganda with our driver, Julius. We are so sad to leave as we have had a wonderful time. Julius took us to Uganda to see the gorillas then to Rwanda to the genocide museum, visit Lake Kivu, see the chimpanzees, walk the suspension bridge in Nwenge National Park and visit the King’s Palace. The price and value of the tour was excellent. Regan helped us book a wonderful tour that was bespoke to our preferences and from the moment Julius picked us up from the airport until he finally dropped us off, he took such exceptional care of us. He was always prompt and organised for our appointments, explained everything very clearly and was very knowledgeable. We only had one problem during the tour, where one of our hotels cancelled our night’s stay but Dav Safaris quickly found us alternative accommodation, refunded us the difference in price and bought us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience.
At our last minute request, Julius even managed to fit in a farewell drink at the Hotel Milles Collines (Hotel Rwanda). Thank you Dav Safaris. Thank you Julius. We thoroughly enjoyed our Uganda trip and fell in love with Rwanda. We would highly recommend touring with this company.

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

Trustworthy and reliable
We spent a week in Uganda with Benjamin as our guide and driver. He took us everywhere in his comfortable vehicle, and everything was perfectly organized. The hotels were excellent, the food was delicious, and Benjamin’s knowledge, warmth, and kindness made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Exceeded expectations
I booked a 5-Day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking Tour with Dav Safaris and it was absolutely amazing. From the start, Reagan was very helpful with organizing my itinerary and answering all my questions. The whole tour was arranged to my needs and I was happily surprised that I got a "private" tour, since I was the only person departing that day. I even got welcomed at the airport by Reagan himself, his daughter and Ben, my guide, who was also extremely helpful and kind to me the whole five days. Because I'm a woman travelling alone, it can be concerning to go on the road that much time with a man you don't know, but Ben always made me feel safe and comfortable, and he was always trying to improve my experience by widening my knowledge about Uganda, it's wildlife and culture, and making sure I was having the time of my life.
As for the trekking experiences, they were both so amazing and fulfilling, and I was lucky enough (also thanks to Ben) that neither of them were as long as I had expected. Other highlights of the trip were the monkey trekk and community tour, which I enjoyed greatly (guided by a local named Patrick), and the visit to Lake Buyonyi.
Regarding the lodges, I stayed in three different ones, all of them absolutely stunning and filled with the nicest people. The food was great at all times, whether we ate at the lodges, packed lunches, or on the road. The vehicle was comfortable, which was great because we had many driving hours a day.
In sum, I'm happy I got to live this experience without any disturbances or complaints. I 100% recommend Dav Safaris.

Beautiful experience in Uganda
We spent 1 week in Uganda and it was amazing. We did 3 trekking: chimpanzees, gorillas and golden monkeys. Our guide, Julius, has been perfect from the beginning to the very end, always kind and helpful. We never felt unsafe. His knowledge about Uganda and the parks’ staffs made everything running smoothly and our gorilla’s family was just amazing.
We highly recommend having a trip with him
