Unforgettable Safari Experience Thanks to Amazing Guides and Service
I cannot recommend this company enough! Anneth organized every detail of our unforgettable 4-day safari through the Serengeti, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater. We were fortunate to see so many different animals, but it was our guides, Ben and Manny, who truly made the experience exceptional. Guys, from day 1 you became friends to our group. Your energy was contagious, and not only kept up with our lively 8-person group but also enhanced the experience. We are so grateful for your dedication to ensuring we made the most of every moment and for the personal care you took in looking out for each of us.
A special thanks to the staff at Moyo and Heritage Migration camps as well – everyone treated us with the utmost respect and made us feel incredibly welcome. Truly a remarkable trip from start to finish!

Went in with reservations, came out with a great experience!
I will give a full review with pros and cons of our experience.
Before I booked with Pride of Africa Adventures, I read all of the reviews and was very concerned about the negative things written. I almost didn't book because of the bad reviews I had read. But Stephen was very accommodating and responded quickly to my questions and assured me that they would make sure we had a good experience. We had a group of 21 people and planned a 4 day/3 night safari in Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru/Lake Naivasha. He helped me choose hotels to fit our needs and budget for our 3 families. We decided to take the chance with Pride of Africa Adventures and we paid our deposit.
Once we paid the deposit, Stephen seemed to respond slower to my questions than before, and this had me worried for months before our actual safari. On the day that our safari started, they were supposed to pick us up at the airstrip with lunches and then proceed to a game drive. However Stephen messaged me just hours before saying that they wouldn't have lunches for us. This was a little frustrating since we'd been travelling all day from Uganda and lunches were included on our itinerary. Luckily we had some snacks with us already to tide us over.
Fortunately, that was the last problem we had. A guy named Elias met us at the airstrip and we paid him the final balance in cash and he introduced us to our drivers, John, George and Max. From there on out we had a fabulous time!
John, George and Max were the best! They were nice, friendly, on time, helpful, accommodating, and made our safari experience wonderful! We saw the big 5, we saw a cheetah take down a gazelle, they were ready to go early each morning so we could have early morning game drives, and they slowed down and stopped when we wanted more time to look at animals. I give these drivers 5 stars and thank them for providing us with a great experience!
Also, our accommodations were great! We stayed in 3 different places and we enjoyed them all! They exceeded our expectations for a mid-budget accommodation.
So other than no lunches the first day, and some slow responses after our deposit, we had a very positive experience. Our drivers made the experience great!

A wonderful and truly memorable safari experience.
Ibra was a brilliant guide and driver for our Ugandan safari. He is an experienced, careful and very capable driver on the highway, in the parks and everything in between. He was always punctual, reliable and flexible; and he has abundant local knowledge of the parks with a wide network of contacts amongst the park guides and rangers. He is an accomplished guide in his own right, able to spot wildlife from leopards and elephants to finches and mongeese, along with a love for and knowledge of the flora and fauna that we experienced.
Ibra communicates well and has a great sense of humour. I enjoyed his company on every day of our two week safari around south and central Uganda.

Great Tour with Michael!
We had a 4 day tour with Michael and it was amazing! He brought us not only to the national park, but also immerse and introduce us into the tribe and local culture in Iringa. The whole trip is very comfortable and eye-opening with the care from them. Definitely recommend to discuss with them with what you like to see. Very worth it!

Wonderful experience, amazing trip, fantastic family holiday!!
We (my husband, daughter and I) recently returned from a 9-day Wildlife Gorillas and Chimpanzee Safari trip in Uganda. From the very first interaction with Reagan, through the planning stages to finalising our itinerary, everything was seamless. One of our reasons for choosing Dav Safaris was it's exceptional value for money. We arranged a private tour for our family and Reagan was very attentive in listening to our ideas and making helpful suggestions for our trip all within our budget and timeframe. It was a great balance between busy days and travel days. Our guide Arafat was fantastic and made a special effort to ensure our daughter was having a wonderful experience. He went above and beyond in every way possible and exceeded all our expectations. The food and accomodation was excellent. All the staff we met along the way were exceptional. All our experiences including the safaris, boat tours, treks with gorillas, chimps and Rhinos were amazing. One of the main reasons for coming to Uganda was the opportunity to do the gorilla trek and our guide was instrumental in helping arrange the perfect gorilla family for us to see. We were so impressed with Dav Safaris and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Reagan and Arafat for the most wonderful trip!!
