Great experience
It was our first time in Africa an we were not disappointed. Reagan and his team made it perfect and really crafted a great itinerary for us. We had a 8 day itinerary through Uganda-Rwanda, including gorillas and chimp tracking. Everything went as planned, great lodges, nice food and super sightseeings. Our guide Ronnie (and trainee Richard) were super nice, helpful and knowledgable, it was nice to discuss with them. I would recommend 100% and will definitely travel with them again.

Knowledgeable and friendly
Ronnie was an excellent guide with great expertise and experience. He was very friendly and we really appreciated the time he took to share his knowledge on both Ugandan life and culture as well as the animals we saw on Safari.

incredible Experience
I decided to go to visit Uganda to make a pilgrimage to a Polish Church near Masindi where some of my family stayed as refugees after WW2. I then added on a safari tour to Murchison Falls. David was our guide and he really pulled through for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the environment (animals & plants) as well as the culture. I left feeling that I really learned a lot about Uganda as a whole.
I gained an appreciation & understanding for the wildlife and culture that I had not expected. He was accommodating when we decided to change our itinerary a bit at the last minute. He also was very respectful and supportive during my emotional visit to the Church. He even went to find a guide for church- someone who knew well of the history as he lived in Masindi his whole life and heard stories from the elders. It was really a gift to receive this new information - I was overwhelmed that I provided this opportunity to reconnect to a past that was lost with the death of my grandmother. As we were 2 women travelling for the first time to Uganda, David made us feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I would highly recommend him and Dav Safaris to anyone, even if you are just a solo female traveler (as I would have been had my coworker not decided to join me).

This 2-day tour is an absolute must.
The experience is simply priceless! From Kigali, you will drive about 2 hours to Musanze where you will spend the night. Once you settle in your hotel in Musanze (including in the tour) you can have a walk and enjoy the views over the volcanoes which are the natural border between Rwanda, Uganda and DRC. Early morning the day after, you will drive about 15 minutes to the Volcanoes National Park where you will have hot/cold beverages available while you have your short safety briefing with other people coming for the tour. Then you have a short drive to the starting point and off you go for your trek that should be around 2h with a few stops to take stunning pictures of the views. Once you arrive in the park, the guide will liaise with rangers who will tell them where the gorillas are so you can find them easily. Finally, the unique moment has arrived! You will spend 1h watching gorillas from a few feet away in their natural habitat! Simply mesmerizing! I can only recommend this tour!
Augustin, the guide who picked me up was amazing! Friendly and full of knowledge, he made me discover Kigali before taking the road to Musanze and stopped to allow me to take some amazing pictures. Easily reachable via phone/whatsapp and quick to respond, the whole experience was as smooth as possible!

Wonderful Guide
Joseph transported us to go chimpanzee tracking and to visit the wetland reserve in Kibale National Park. He was always on time and good company. We had a good time at the kibale forest camp. Thank you Dav Safaris and Joseph.

Best or all time
We did a 2 week tour trough Uganda with "Dav Safaris". Everything went really well: airport pickup, round trip through Uganda, game drives in Queen Elisabeth and Murchison Falls National Park, gorilla tracking and chimpanzee tracking all perfectly organized. The vehicle was very clean and well maintained. Spontaneous requests and program changes by us during the trip were no problem at all. Our driver had an enormous knowledge of the animal world and knew exactly the right places where there was something to discover.

Best safari experience , highly recommend
On the 15 of January a group of 8 of Us went on a 5 Days Family Tour of Western Uganda to Queen Elizabeth National Park and Semuliki with Dav Safaris. They provided us exceptional service right from taking in our booking. The suggested itinerary by Reagan was a perfect fit. We were able to spend two nights in Queen Elizabeth National park Our Guide Maxwell was always on time to take us for our activities, the Morning Game drive and the Boat ride on the Kazinga Channel was Amazing as we were able to see lots of Wildlife. We spent the other 2 Nights in Fortportal Town and went to Semliki National Park, Visited the Hot springs both male and Female. While in Fortoprtal, we went to amabere ga nyina mwiru and also enjoyed a hike up the Nyakasura hills.
We enjoyed great food, Accommodation!!! Highly recommend this Company

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.

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.
