This 2-day tour is an absolute must.
The experience is simply priceless! From Kigali, you will drive about 2 hours to Musanze where you will spend the night. Once you settle in your hotel in Musanze (including in the tour) you can have a walk and enjoy the views over the volcanoes which are the natural border between Rwanda, Uganda and DRC. Early morning the day after, you will drive about 15 minutes to the Volcanoes National Park where you will have hot/cold beverages available while you have your short safety briefing with other people coming for the tour. Then you have a short drive to the starting point and off you go for your trek that should be around 2h with a few stops to take stunning pictures of the views. Once you arrive in the park, the guide will liaise with rangers who will tell them where the gorillas are so you can find them easily. Finally, the unique moment has arrived! You will spend 1h watching gorillas from a few feet away in their natural habitat! Simply mesmerizing! I can only recommend this tour!
Augustin, the guide who picked me up was amazing! Friendly and full of knowledge, he made me discover Kigali before taking the road to Musanze and stopped to allow me to take some amazing pictures. Easily reachable via phone/whatsapp and quick to respond, the whole experience was as smooth as possible!

incredible Experience
I decided to go to visit Uganda to make a pilgrimage to a Polish Church near Masindi where some of my family stayed as refugees after WW2. I then added on a safari tour to Murchison Falls. David was our guide and he really pulled through for us. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the environment (animals & plants) as well as the culture. I left feeling that I really learned a lot about Uganda as a whole.
I gained an appreciation & understanding for the wildlife and culture that I had not expected. He was accommodating when we decided to change our itinerary a bit at the last minute. He also was very respectful and supportive during my emotional visit to the Church. He even went to find a guide for church- someone who knew well of the history as he lived in Masindi his whole life and heard stories from the elders. It was really a gift to receive this new information - I was overwhelmed that I provided this opportunity to reconnect to a past that was lost with the death of my grandmother. As we were 2 women travelling for the first time to Uganda, David made us feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I would highly recommend him and Dav Safaris to anyone, even if you are just a solo female traveler (as I would have been had my coworker not decided to join me).

Knowledgeable and friendly
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.

Great experience
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.

A wonderful and unforgettable experience on animals tracking with Dav Safaris and Kevin.
We are a group of 5 friends from United States and Canada and had toured Rwanda and Uganda with Dav Safaris during August 22 through August 27, 2023. We had a wonderful and unforgettable experience with our tour guild Kevin on the animals tracking adventure. The arrangements by Dav Safaris on lodges, food, and animal tracking are well planned and we had experienced the adventure better than our expectations. We have luckily seen all of these animals we expected, including golden monkeys, Gorillas, and Chimpanzees. Here I would like to specially thank our tour guild Kevin. He is knowledgeable, professional, and very diligent being with us during the tour. He also is honest and trusted person. One of our tour member lost his wallet when we left Uganda. Kevin found it when he clean the car and he immediately informed us and mailed it to us Late he called us to make sure that we received it. I would also like to thank Reagan, the owner of Dav Safaris. He spend his precious time to meet us at Entebbe Airport. I give Dav Safaris a five star rate and will highly recommend to our friends for their future African Safari tour.

The best Safari company you will find!
We did the four day golden monkey and gorilla trekking experience with Davs Safari and I am so so happy that we chose them as a safari company. We had the best time. Our driver and guide was Richard and he was such an incredible person. I don’t know how he managed to do such long and times very difficult drives. My friend and I felt so safe with him driving and generally being in his care. Richard was a very kind, cool and lovely guy. He was excellent company and really took care of us. Obviously the trekking and the sights were out of this world! They were breathtaking and they are memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. The hotels that we stayed in and the food that was included were really amazing and there isn’t one thing I could complain about. If you are considering a trip and looking for a reputable company that will take care of you, even if you’re a solo traveller or two girls like us or more, do not hesitate to book with Davs. I promise you won’t regret it!

Fun solo trip to see primates
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.

Friendly
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!
