A trip of a lifetime in a beautiful, safe and friendly country with a professional tour company.
5/5

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.

Wonderful trip!
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Dav Safaris from start to finish. Regan was very responsive, provided all the necessary info and had no problems with our modifications to the trip.
Our guides - Jerry and Solomon - were simply amazing! Kind and helpful, they made our trip really special and fun.
Uganda is a spectacular country with beautiful nature and lovely people. I sincerely recommend Dav Safaris’ 7 days itinerary as it takes you through various landscapes and provides breathtaking experiences!
Just be mindful that there’s a lot of driving and it can get a bit fatiguing.
The last lodge of the trip was absolutely stunning and definitely worth a day or two extra if you can swing it ;)

Very reliable, creative and flexible
5/5

We (2 friends) had a great time in Rwanda and Uganda. Julius took us in his comfortable safaribus around the 2 countries. The itinerarary was set on forehand but during the trip Julius proposed us extra activities to learn more about cultural aspects in both countries. Besides he was always on time, a very experienced and safe driver. The mountainhike and several bike tours where also in hands of great gides. All together an amazing experience and we can recommend DAV Safaris as a reliable travel agent in Eastern Africa.

Unforgettable Ugandan Adventure!
5/5

Our 4-day tour in Uganda was absolutely phenomenal, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Godfrey, our guide, was incredible. He not only ensured we reached all our destinations safely and comfortably but also made us feel completely at home throughout the journey. He truly showcased the stunning beauty of Uganda. We were also incredibly lucky with our chimp and gorilla encounters, a huge thank you to the diligent rangers at the park for making those unforgettable moments possible! A truly wonderful trip!

A professional company with precise, polite dealing with us, the result is an outstanding experience
5/5

The organisation of the trip and the tour itself was done in a really professional and polite manner, with prompt reaction to every requests, either by phone, email or in person. The tour guide, Benjamin was excellent, funny and kind, while at the same time judging perfectly what we need in terms of distance and treating us. He also had a deep knowledge about the animals, the national parks and in Uganda in general. We just had a feeling that we are in safe hands, while he did his best to make sure we get the most out of this trip.

Thus we had many-many priceless moments thanks to him, especialy the "giraffe forest" we bumped into. This was a heart-lifting trip absolutely worth its price and I am very fond of reccommending this company, this trip and the guide to anyone!

WEMBALE!

Unbelievable Experience!
5/5

We booked 7 day safari in Uganda. Unbelievable Experience!
Our trip was absolutely unforgettable. Reagan was fantastic and helped set everything up beforehand, making the whole process smooth and stress free.

Jerry and Gard are guides were amazing, so much knowledge and always willing to help in any way they could. We learnt so much about Uganda, its wildlife, culture and great chats at the end of the day. Could not of asked for a better two people to show us around Uganda.

Seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat was a once in a lifetime experience. And spotting a leopard was the cherry on top!

We’re definitely booking with DAV Safaris again. Highly recommended!

Amazing
5/5

The experience of this tour was unforgettable, especially the gorilla visit, a once in a lifetime moment. Dav Safari did a great job and the accommodations in general very nice, although too many hours on the road. Our guide, Benjamin, helped us in every way possible. 100% recommended trip.
