Once in a lifetime experience to see gorillas
We booked a 2 day Gorilla Tracking Tour from Kigali through Dav Safaris and had an excellent experience! Our agent, Reagan was organized and prompt with responding to our emails. On our tour, our driver Charles was very good and navigated bumpy and rough roads very well. We stayed overnight in Kisoro, and had an early morning drive to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park to start our morning Gorilla Tracking. The park rangers brought our group of 8 on a 2.5 hour hike in the to track the current location of the Gorilla family; the terrain was bushy but not too steep. We would highly recommend Mgahinga as the one gorilla family there is large and social! We saw 3 silverbacks, several adult gorillas, one adolescent and one 2 month old gorilla. The animals are very gentle and came up very close to us. It was an unbelievable experience seeing these amazing animals only a few meters away. We spent 1 hour with the gorillas taking photos of every gorilla in the family. After the tracking hike we were driven back to Kigali.
If you are looking to see the gorillas in the wild, I would really recommend booking with Dav Safaris as they are very experienced and professional. It is less expensive to see the gorillas in Uganda, and flying into Kigali is the closest airport. Remember to get your e-visa for Uganda in advance.

A Truly Unforgettable and Amazing Experience
Our safari was an experience of a lifetime and much of that is thanks to Pepi for planning an outstanding trip and Stewart our incredible guide.
From the moment we arrived, every detail was thoughtfully arranged. Pepi crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced wildlife, culture, scenery, and relaxation. The logistics were seamless- accommodations, transfers, and activities all flowed effortlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the journey without a single worry.
Stewart, our guide, was exceptional. His knowledge of Nambia's wildlife, landscape, and history was remarkable, and his passion for the country made every moment richer. He has a gift for spotting animals, reading the landscape, and knowing where to be at just the right time. Beyond his expertise, Stewart was warm, patient, fun, and genuinely made us feel cared for throughout the entire trip. We always felt safe, informed, and inspired.
Highlights of our trip included the 4 x 4 tour of Sandwich Harbor, the amazing dunes of Sossusvlei, unforgettable wildlife at Etosha, the humbling visit to the Himba tribe, and Devil's pool at Victoria Falls. This was more than a holiday-- it was a life changing experience.
I would do this trip again and again.

Do not book with this company!
Two friends and I paid thousands of dollars for a 5-day safari with this company. We arrived in Nairobi only to find out that they cancelled on us the day before we were due to leave. Two other people ended up on another safari with us who had the same problem. It has been 5 weeks, and they have not refunded any of our money, nor do they respond to our communications. We believe we have been scammed! Do not use this company.

Unique and stunning place!
My partner and I visited Kenya for the first time and went to Masai Mara two nights, Amboseli one night and another night at Lake Nakuru.
We absolutely loved all of them but the favourite is for sure Masai Mara where we managed to see all the big five in a very short time, including Cheetah and leopard.
Lake Nakuru is much smaller but the landscape was stunning and of course, is the house of Rhinos.
Amboseli,if you love elephants like we do, it’s a paradise. It’s plenty of them, as well as monkeys, giraffes and many mores.
People are extremely welcoming and great positive vides.

Wonderful Cheap private tour with very experienced operator
It was a very nice experience. We were picked up at the ferry from mafia island at no extra cost. Very experienced, friendly and nice tour operator. We slept directly next to the river close to national park entrance were u were able to see hippos sunset and crocos. Room had everything food was nice and it was a small lodge. Sunset cruise was really nice and took 3h.
The day visit was great and we are most of the time alone with no other cars. Even saw a leopard.
Just the walking safari at the next day was a joke. The “bushmen” was just a tourist attraction. No animals or other stuff. Only bad jokes. Don’t do the walking safari.

Awful
My wife and I had a safari booked to celebrate our 39th anniversary.
Unfortunately before we could travel our daughter was sexually assaulted and we were unable to go. I spoke with wies who assured me that the worse case scenario was that I would lose my deposit.
After 6 months of being fobbed off Wies now tells me that there will be no refund only a change of dates.
Talk about making a bad situation worse. £10000 lost to a lack of humanity.
Great service
