Safari in Uganda
We booked a 9-day safari trip with Dav Safaris and managed to see four of the Big Five, as well as gorillas and chimpanzees. Julius, our guide, gave us the best experience possible and maximized our chances to see the wildlife. It was a great vacation, filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable nights under the African sky.
However, we faced significant issues with our vehicle: the first van had engine trouble and was replaced after the first day (a new van was driven from Entebbe to Queen Elizabeth National Park), only for us to discover the next day that the replacement had the same problem. To prevent the engine warning light from staying on, our guide was forced to turn off the A/C.
Additionally, communication with Reagan, the agency coordinator, lacked professionalism. He guaranteed us single rooms before departure but failed to mention that this accommodation was not always available. We would have appreciated being informed of this possibility in advance to manage our expectations.
Despite these logistical issues, thanks to Julius, we still had a memorable trip. We hope Dav Safaris will address these vehicle and communication gaps for future clients.

Heman was doing great, funny and interactive guy
Was difficult to find a lot of animals. Could be because it was raining in the morning. Expected a bit more.
