Beauty and fun - a 7-day safari in Uganda
5/5

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.

Perfect 4 day gorilla trek as a solo female traveller!
5/5

I just finished a 4 day gorilla trek with Dav’s Safaris with Adams as my guide. What an experience!!
The tour included the golden monkeys in Uganda, gorilla trekking in Uganda and also lake Bunyonyi in Uganda too. I had such an amazing time, it was all incredible and can’t choose a favourite part (although maybe the gorillas because, wow!)
My guide Adams was local from the area so was super knowledgeable! He also made me feel so, so comfortable as a solo female traveller and was absolutely hilarious and super fun as well as providing answers to every single question I had (there were a lot!)
So happy I booked this trip and got to experience it. It all feels like a dream now!

Trip planned to fit our schedule, excellent service from driver and all services!
5/5

My friend and I did a 4 day tour which will be one of the most memorable experiences of my life due to the chimp and gorilla trekking!
Dav safaris were extremely accommodating, arranging a 4 day tour that fit so much in and picking us up from our chosen location in Mukono - not a normal pick up point! To fit our trip in we had to do long journeys in the car, on bumpy roads but this was made into part of the experience with our driver pointing out loads on the way, and being determined for us to see everything we wanted!
All of the places Dav safaris booked for our stay were excellent, with all of the staff and guides so welcoming and wanting to make the best experience for us. Our only recommendation would be to have longer than 4 days if you can! Our last night was in Bunyoni lake, chosen by Dav safaris, and it was the perfect end to a really fantastic trip!!

Uganda you have my heart - 5 star experience
5/5

I can not recommend Dav Safaris highly enough! Richard was our tour guide and he was the BEST, his English was fantastic. He is such a genuine and lovely person with great local knowledge. Our experience with the Gorilla’s was surreal, such a special and unique experience and our stay on the island was magical!

Best guide in Uganda
5/5

Robert was the most reliable, pleasant, knowledgeable and fun guide we could ever dream of. He made our vacation extraordinary memorable and acted as a wonderful ambassador of Uganda. We loved every minute!

Very professional, we got along very well thanks to the support of Reagan with whom I had several email exchanges to organize the holiday. Richard accompanied us the whole way and it was like traveling with a dear brotherly friend. Excellent!

Fun solo trip to see primates
5/5

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.

Fantastic trip!
5/5

Me and a friend did a 5 day gorilla and golden monkey safari in Rwanda & Uganda. We had a great experience and felt safe the whole time! Dav safari communicated with us through WhatsApp the night before we were getting picked up at our hotel. Our driver/guide Charles was very nice and friendly, and answered any questions we had. He helped us with our border crossings to ensure they went smoothly. He got us to where we needed to be on time and safely! Our vehicle had a flat tire the morning of our gorilla trek, but Charles had found it and changed it, with still time to spare once we got to the meeting point for the briefing. Dav safaris organized everything, including the lodges. All the lodges were amazing and peaceful and we were welcomed and treated very well by all the staff. As two young women travelling, we felt safe and cared for the entire time.

Amazing 5 day gorilla and golden monkey trek
5/5

Very well planned. As two young women, we felt safe the whole trip. Our guide, Charles, was there every step of the way, making sure we were on time to every excursions and making us feel most welcome to every lodge. Every place we stayed at treated us like queens. Perfect balance of adventure and down time. Highly recommend!
