Wonderful 4 Day Uganda Trip with Dav Safaris
5/5

Our trip with Dav Safaris was wonderful! My friend and I did a 4 day/3 night route - picked up in Kigali and driven up to see the chimpanzees in Kibale National Park; then drove through Queen Elizabeth National Park to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where we saw mountain gorillas; and finally an afternoon/evening/morning at Lake Bunyonyi before heading back to Kigali. From the moment we decided to book with Dav Safaris, communication with Reagan was quick and smooth, and we felt well taken care of. Along the journey, everywhere we stayed was lovely, especially the absolutely gorgeous Seeds of Hope guest house on Lake Bunyonyi's Itambira Island! The food was also great throughout the trip, with plenty of non-meat options available everywhere we went, as both my friend and I are vegetarian.

Most importantly, I want to thank our incredible guide, Shafiq, who shepherded us between each park and kept us entertained along the way. Our trip involved a lot of driving, and at no point did we feel bored or overwhelmed, thanks to Shafiq's truly endless knowledge about the vast wildlife, nature, and cultures of Uganda and Rwanda (and his knack for pointing out any animal he spotted along the way, no matter how small). He had an answer to every single question we asked, regardless of how obscure it might be. And, crucially, he got us everywhere we needed to go on time and comfortably. It was such a pleasure to spend for days with him!

I cannot recommend Dav Safaris enough for your Uganda/Rwanda safari trip, we would absolutely book with them again if we are lucky enough to travel through the region once more. Thank you so much Reagan and Shafiq!

Knowledgeable and friendly
5/5

Ronnie was an excellent guide with great expertise and experience. He was very friendly and we really appreciated the time he took to share his knowledge on both Ugandan life and culture as well as the animals we saw on Safari.

Amazing Gorilla Safari
5/5

My experience with Dav Safaris was amazing. The booking experience with Reagan was straight forward and easy! My gorilla/chimp safari was filled with unforgettable experiences and incredible animal sightings. My driver, Michael, was very knowledgeable about the animals and East African culture. I would 100% recommend Dav Safari’s and my driver Michael to anyone interested in a Ugandan Safari.

Great experience
5/5

It was our first time in Africa an we were not disappointed. Reagan and his team made it perfect and really crafted a great itinerary for us. We had a 8 day itinerary through Uganda-Rwanda, including gorillas and chimp tracking. Everything went as planned, great lodges, nice food and super sightseeings. Our guide Ronnie (and trainee Richard) were super nice, helpful and knowledgable, it was nice to discuss with them. I would recommend 100% and will definitely travel with them again.

Amazing
5/5

What an amazing experience! Trekking with gorillas is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I loved every moment of it.
Our trip was 5 days/4 nights route. Arthur our guide picked us up from Entebbe. We saw the chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, then drove through Queen Elizabeth National Park to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where we saw mountain gorillas.
The accommodation and food was excellent.
Thank you very much Dav Safaries

Thank you!!
5/5

Thank you to Shafiq for showing me around Uganda and Rwanda! I felt super safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. Dav Safaris was flexible especially with my delayed flight, and even though I arrived in Kigali a day late, I was able to get everything done on my itinerary. Thank you again!

Very professional and take good care of customer to make great experience
5/5

First of all from inquiry to booking their response was very good, already felt that they are reliable company. Payment condition was fair, confirmation of receipt was issued which made me relieved as this was my first miner transfer to Uganda, was not sure it went through smoothly.

On the day of starting tour, my guide, Joyous came to the hotel at early morning and waited until appointment time around 8:00. That is because traffic in Kampala is usually terrible so he makes sure he doesn’t come late. I really appreciated that.
Schedule wise he was very flexible during entire tour, not only listened to my request but gave me few suggestions to make me more comfortable and happy. I felt JoyoDrive.us was taking really good care of customer, not to mention about entertaining but safety aspect as well. He drove carefully all the way during long drive from/to Kampala or during Game
When it comes to Game Drive thanks to his good relationship with other guides from various company we could find locations where we could see many animals.

Overall Dav Safari and their guide Joyous was very professional and highly recommended!
