Great communication, professional organization and a lot of fun
We enjoyed every moment of our vacation. Uganda is a wonderful place to visit and has so much to offer. We particularly enjoyed the game drive in Murchison Fall NP, the boat tour on the Kazinga channel, the chimpanzee and gorilla trekkings.
Communication with Reagan was prompt and easy and the organization was professional. The price for the tour was one of the bests we could get but this didn't mean compromise on service and quality.
Highly recommend Dav Safaris.
Arafat is a great guide and excellent driver. He has extensive knowledge on all the places and animals we came across. Moreover he has a magical ability to summon the animals during the game drives.
9 days are way to short to properly cover everything so we will return for a longer stay for sure :)

Great Tour with Dav Safaris
We've just come back from a 6 day mid-range Uganda tour booked with Dav safaris Uganda. Our trip was organised and arranged very speedy and efficiently via email, the communication with Reagan was extremly professional, prompt and friendly. The itinerary of the tour was well and accurately planned, including great activities and 4 lodges well chosen and super nice lodges. With Confidence Reagan, we had an excellent guide on our side during our whole trip. He is an excellent safe driver, always friendly, polite and in good mood. Also he's an expert about his country's nature and animals and made sure we spotted as many beasts and birds as possible during our safaris. We really enjoyed our time with Confidence, he was not only very helpful and well organised, making sure we had a great holiday, but also super nice and interested in his clients, happy to chat, share ideas or answer questions and thus making the sometimes long journeys very enjoyable. Confidence Reagan is truly a gem, a very experienced, knowledgeable, reliable and pleasant guide - we strongly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Uganda.

Great Time.
We had a wonderful time our 12 days tour of Rwanda and Uganda. Thank you Benjamin and Anthony. We highly recommend DAV Safari!
Excellent experience during our Gorillas and Rhinos tour
Dav Safaris were very proactive when organising our tour and meeting our requests. Our guide and driver, Adison, was very helpful, friendly and organized. We had a great time and really enjoyed the Gorillas at Bwindi and Rhinos at Ziwa.

Amazing trip to see the gorillas
We booked a 4-day, 3-night gorilla trekking adventure with Davis Safaris, and it exceeded our expectations! The highlight was, of course, encountering the gorillas in Bwindi, but every part of the journey was memorable. We loved seeing the adorable golden monkeys and were captivated by the stunning beauty of Lake Bunyonyi.
Our guide, Adams Gorilla, was exceptional. He was always punctual, kept us informed about the daily schedule, and had an impressive knowledge of everything we asked. Plus, he is incredibly friendly and hilarious. The van we traveled in was clean and comfortable, and the itinerary was well-balanced, with varied activities and accommodations that never felt overwhelming.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience for my first time in Africa, and I highly recommend Davis Safaris and Adams Gorilla. Thank you so much!

Beauty and fun - a 7-day safari in Uganda
Uganda really impressed me. Its beauty, the green forests, the small villages, the plenty of animal species are amazing. Dav Safari organized the schedule very well, with busy days and traveling days alternating. Some can find the hours with travel exhausting, however looking throught the window is like a long movie about Ugandan countryside (villages, markets, landscape, transport etc.). The lodges and the Ugandan kitchen were super. I felt very safe all the time. The last day at the wonderful Bunyonyi lake is a hit.
My guide Joyous was extraordinary. He is very empathic, attentive, patient and funny. You can have a good conversation with him about everything, but you can be silent for hours in the car if you want. He balanced very well between a friendly fellow traveller and a professional guide.

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!

A trip of a lifetime in a beautiful, safe and friendly country with a professional tour company.
I took the Dav Safaris the 4 Day Chimpanzee and Gorilla Trek along with two others. It was an incredible experience with great thanks to professional and friendly staff -- particularly our driver and guide Jeck and another driver, Brian.
On more than one occasion, Jeck used his skills and experience to ensure our tour remained on track when I'm positive others wouldn't have been able to. On challenging roads, he made us feel comfortable. He also had excellent mechanical skills and helped other guides with car issues after he knew we were settled. He also had significant local knowledge and loved sharing his country with us. I would recommend Jeck as your tour guide.
The chimpanzee experience was more than we could have imagined. We got within feet of them thanks to the rangers and staff. The gorilla experience was much the same. I didn't feel unsafe around either animals. They are not dangerous and familiar with human company. In many cases, they just walked right past us as if we were one of them. Well worth the cost. In both cases we were lucky enough to find them within the hour of trekking into the forest. We didn't pay much attention when booking to the other activities, but they ended up being highlights to the trip -- giving us a beautiful snapshot to Ugandan life and culture.
The drives from Entebbe to the Kibali and Bwindi national parks led us through beautiful vistas, incredible villages and a very friendly people. We didn't feel unsafe at all in our journey. Whether we were walking through villages, the forest or on the roads. The Ugandan people are a beautiful, friendly and welcoming people.
The hotels, vendors and other companies used by Dav Safaris were friendly, attentive and helpful. We stayed at Via Via Hotel Entebbe, Kibali Forest Lodge, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge and Itambira Island Resort. We ended up forming good relationships with excellent hotel staff at every location. The beds were comfortable, showers hot and wifi reasonable.
The food was delicious and high quality wherever we went. None of us had any digestive issues whether we ate Western or local meals. Bottled water and snacks were abundant.
4 days was enough for us to comfortably enjoy both the chimpanzee and gorilla treks, however I heard incredible reports from others in our travels about game drives in Uganda and would seriously consider returning to experience those as well as the gorillas and chimpanzees again. One couple did 19 days with Dav Safaris and loved it.
Thank you Dav Safaris, Jeck and all the people we met along the way for an amazing trip.
