Job is the GOAT (greatest of all time guide)
My wife and I visited Uganda and let us say that our experience was amazing.
Our guide Job, was the perfect guide. He is so friendly, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. His genuine nature and passion with his guiding approach and really made this experience unforgettable. He was always on time, and made extra efforts to ensure all our expectations were met. He went above and beyond what other guides would do. He made videos for us capturing the highlights of the day and even made sure that we were able to see the lions during a game drive by trusting his instincts and expertise. Job always brought the energy and made every day special for us.
If you book a safari in Uganda you need to request Job Francis as your guide!
Thank you Job!

Best Guide is Job!
We had the absolute pleasure of having Job as our tour guide for our 6-day gorilla trek and safari in Uganda, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience, especially as this trip was part of our honeymoon. From the very beginning, Job was personable, friendly, and incredibly attentive, and always going out of his way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable, happy, and fully immersed in the experience.
Job has an amazing ability to point out things you would otherwise miss. Whether it was wildlife, scenery, or cultural details. He made every drive and every stop engaging and meaningful. He was always checking in with us, adjusting plans when needed, and making sure each day felt special and stress-free. His planning was excellent: he was consistently on time, organized, and thoughtful about how each day unfolded, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy ourselves.
What truly set Job apart was his deep connection with the local community. Because of his relationships and respect within the area, we were able to experience Uganda in a much more authentic and enriching way. It never felt like a standard tour, it felt personal, welcoming, and genuine. His knowledge, passion, and pride in his country shone through in everything he did.
Job didn’t just guide us through Uganda, he made our honeymoon unforgettable. We will always look back on this trip as something incredibly special, and a huge part of that is thanks to him. We would recommend Job to anyone looking for an exceptional, well-planned, and truly memorable safari or gorilla trekking experience.

Highly professional and flexible - excellent tour operator
We cannot recommend this company enough - our trip was perfect. They responded very quickly and were highly professional. There was a misunderstanding about the starting point of the trip (only a few hours before the departure of our flight) and Reagan was reactive and we could very fortunately solve the problem before getting on the plane. Also the lodges that the company chose were lovely.
The main reason why this trip was so special to us was our driver Isaac - he was incredibly kind and always in a good mood. I appreciated how protective he was of us and I felt safe 100% of the time thanks to him. When we had special wishes or questions, he was always there and tried his best to make everything possible. Also he chose the best restaurants for the days we were on the road. My fiancé and I had a hard time to say goodbye after one week as we were able to share so many memories, laughs and happy moments. I did not expect to create such a beautiful bond.
If we could go back in time there would only be one thing we would change - we would not do the Batwa Community Walk at Gifted Children Foundation which was included in our itinerary. We heard a lot about foundations who exploit small communities and use poor people as a backdrop and travelers as cash cows — and unfortunately, this experience was exactly that and left a very bad taste. Of course, this is not DAV Safaris’ fault, but perhaps it’s something that could be reconsidered or avoided in future itineraries.
Every other experience was excellent and we loved every part and minute of it. Thank you Isaac - you are a great person and we were honored to spend our trip with you. We could not have found someone better - lots of love

Incredible !!
Our safari was an absolutely incredible experience. We had the chance to observe a wide variety of wildlife in breathtaking landscapes. Each day amazed us more than the last.
The choice of lodges was exceptional. Every place where we stayed and dined was outstanding, combining comfort, quality, and a true immersion in nature. We truly fell in love with one lodge in particular, and our guide arranged everything at lightning speed with the agency DAV Safari so that we could enjoy an extra night there at a lower cost. The service was impeccable!
We recommend our guide Isaac 300%. He is a cheerful person, deeply respectful of nature and wildlife, with an excellent sense of humor. Throughout the journey, he taught us so much about the country, the tribes, and even the local politics. We always felt supported, protected, and completely safe by his side.
We met as strangers and left as friends.
A huge thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Julius, a nice and helpful driver. 👍
Dear travelers, the communication between the driver and the car crew was OK. The driver speaks fluent English. Reliability was definitely not lacking. He always got us to the place on time and we enjoyed all our trips.
Uganda = chimpanzees, gorillas, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, elephants, lions, leopards, zebras, hyenas and many other animals and birds !!! I highly recommend it.

Tonny made our trip the best journey ever !
We spent 10 amazing days in Uganda thanks to Dav and our guide Tonny. We had the most amazing experience of our lives and we hope to be able to go back again. I can’t describe this journey, you have to live it yourself. But I recommend to go with Dav Safaris and especially with Tony as a guide, you’ll have a magical experience for sure !

Isaac was nothing short of amazing!
Had a truly once in a lifetime experience. Tour guide Isaac went above and beyond to make sure myself and my partner were comfortable and confident with our adventure. He was very knowledgeable and told us lots about Uganda and Rwanda. HIGHLY recommend Isaac with Dav safari, we had an amazing time. You NEED to do this, just book it!

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.

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.
