We booked a 14-day chimpanzee & gorilla trekking tour and are absolutely thrilled! Every day was a highlight, followed by one adventure after another. The tour was perfectly organized, our guide Shafiq was a very reliable guide and safe driver. All accommodations were natural, clean and in great locations and the service was great every time! Our wishes were always tried to comply. We can fully recommend DAV Safaris (even the price-performance ratio is unbeatable).

If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari tour in Kenya, DAV Safaris is an excellent choice. They specialize in iconic destinations like the Masai Mara and Amboseli National Park, offering a blend of adventure, comfort, and expert guidance. The booking process was seamless, with a friendly staff who tailored the itinerary to my preferences. In the Masai Mara, our knowledgeable guide showcased the stunning wildlife, including the Great Migration. Amboseli offered breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Accommodations ranged from comfortable lodges to luxurious tented camps, all with warm hospitality. DAV Safaris truly exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them for your safari adventure

We booked a 9 day trip with Dav Safari's and it was one of the best trips we've ever taken. Our guide and driver, Richard met us at the airport and took us on a tour across Uganda visiting 5 of 10 National Parks where we tracked gorillas, walked with chimps and had the most incredible game drives we've ever experienced. Richard always went the extra mile to make sure we never missed an opportunity to see more wildlife and we will be booking another trip with Dav Safari's in the near future. I would highly recommend if you want to maximise activities in a short space of time.

We just returned from a 10-day experience with Dav Safaris for 4 people. Starting with the very positive things, we had a great time with our driver Adison, a very patient, kind and helpful person who supported and helped us in every possible way, making the experience extremely enjoyable and fun. Beautiful animals, amazing nature and very exciting safaris. As far as the tour is concerned, being these kind of safari experiences very expensive, I have reason to believe that what we have been offered is in line with the price paid, affordable compared to other companies. However it must be said that we found our vehicle quite uncomfortable both for ordinary transport, both inside the parks (to see the animals you had to stand on the seats and the windows were too small to see well and to look out). The hotels were very nice aesthetically, although in several cases we had problems with cold water and the impossibility of having power for sockets in the room in whole or in part, without air conditioning and often not even a fan despite the heat (things that I think happen in general here, but having traveled a lot even in very untouristy places and out of the world left me very puzzled to pay such amounts and have such problems in such a tourist place). The thing that disturbed us a little was paying a surcharge over the base to have an upgrade of some hotels, indicating the name of the chosen structure, and several times see it replaced with another: we were told that they were better structures but it would be more correct for the agency to communicate during booking that not necessarily the structures will be those in order to avoid misunderstandings. As for the organization of activities and connections everything went perfectly smoothly, thanks to Adison whom we thank again for which we were very pleased.

Actually we traveled as a family of four adults. Dav Safaris is everything we were looking for in our first visit to Rwanda and Uganda. They are responsible, accommodating, responded to our queries on time and in a professional manner and offered great pricing options for safaris, activities and lodges. They made our time in Africa very pleasant, we cannot recommend them enough. Our guide Boaz greeted us the first day with a smile on his face, great energy and ready for a 5-day adventure. He shared a rundown of the itinerary for the journey, offered to help with whatever we needed so that we would feel comfortable throughout the journey and answered each and every question.He is an incredibly knowledgeable guide, he knows every single fact about wild animals and their habitat as well as about the social and cultural aspects of Rwanda and Uganda. Boaz is exceptional as a tracker, spotter and driver. He made sure we were always safe and having a good time. He is a wonderful human being and our family is proud to call him a great friend. Thanks to Boaz it was an unforgettable experience. Dav Safaris and Reaganare very fortunate to have him.

Great communication with Regan before the trip, and our guide "Joyous" arriving 30 minutes early on day one were a very good start to our 12 day 'Best of Uganda' tour.
The whole trip went like clockwork, even with the heightened security over Christmas and New Year. Our driver/guide Joyous really made the trip for us, nothing was too much trouble for him, and a couple of minor problems (eg. Puncture on vehicle) were sorted efficiently and with a smile.
We chose the Budget option of accommodations offered by Dav as we prefer a more rustic feel, and were surprised how they came under the banner 'Budget'. The fantastic staff, welcome drinks, bags taken to and from rooms, turn down service etc. all made them feel a star or two above what we expected.
The activities were well chosen too. A lot were planned but not too close together as to feel like we were being rushed from one to another, and there was no problem if we decided against some, instead choosing a relaxing hour by the hotel pool.
We will recommend Dav to friends, and will definitely use than again.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with DUV Safari & Emmanuel!

Our family had the most incredible safari experience in Tanzania, all thanks to DUV Safari and our amazing guide, Emmanuel. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized, ensuring a seamless and stress-free adventure.

Emmanuel’s deep knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture made every game drive exciting and educational. He had a keen eye for spotting animals, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with many other fascinating species. His passion for nature and conservation was truly inspiring, and he always made sure we had the best views and photo opportunities.

The accommodations selected by DUV Safari were top-notch, offering both comfort and breathtaking scenery. Whether we were in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, or Tarangire, every day was filled with unforgettable moments.

What made this safari truly special was the personalized care and warm hospitality. Emmanuel treated us like family, ensuring that we felt safe, comfortable, and engaged throughout the journey. His storytelling and sense of humor added to the magic of the trip.

If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend DUV Safari and, if possible, request Emmanuel as your guide. He will turn your trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience

I have hired Dav Safaris for my 10 Day Experience in Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya. As a solo traveler, I have to say I have been very pleased with my experience. I had Boaz as my tour guide/ driver for Rwanda-Uganda and he was very knowledgeable, patient and professional. The highlights of my trip was the gorilla tracking experience which is once in a lifetime experience and I want to come back for a second one already. For Kenya, I had Dixon as my tour guide/ driver and went to Maasai Mara national park which he was very knowledgeable about the animals. He also made a quick visit stop to the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi before I had to go to the airport that day. Overall, if you are looking for a trustworthy tour company in East Africa with competitive prices, I would highly recommend Dav Safaris. I am planning my trip to Tanzania for 2025 and I have no doubt this company will not disappoint :)

After my initial inquiry at Dav Safaris, representative Ibrahim Sekayi contacted me immediately. He quickly responded to my questions, collaborated with me on developing the trip, and patiently incorporated the last-minute changes to my plans. He created a terrific 9-day Safari throughout Zimbabwe, including Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park, and Maboto Hills. I traveled solo and felt completely safe and very well taken care of. The three areas I visited were very different from each other and gave me a sense of the natural beauty of Zimbabwe. I also saw many animals. The trip offered many great activities, and all the people I encountered - staff at the lodges and local guides were caring, professional, and extremely friendly. I loved my accommodations, all placed in authentic lodges in beautiful landscapes. The local guides who took me on hikes or safari drives were enthusiastic about their work and knowledgeable about the landscape, its history, and the animals and plants that inhabited it. I found the whole trip extraordinary.

We did a 10 day 9 nights gorillas and safaritour in Rwanda with Dav safaris with Shafiq as our excellent driver and guide. Including absolutely amazing but also quite hard Gorilla trekking, and easier trekkings for golden monkeys (super-cute) and chimpanzees. (Which are harder to get close to see since they are up in the trees) Nice boattrip in lake Kivu. Safari in Akagera where we saw lots of elephants, giraffes, lions and much more. The boattrip in Akagera should not be missed! Fantastic to see the elephants in the water and so much more!
The communication beforehand was very good using what’s up. Payment worked well using pesapal and cash. Lodging in Hotel des Mille Collines, Davinci Gorilla lodge, Akagera Rhino Lodge and Tree top view hill were great lodgings with fantastic friendly staff, food most of the times welltasting, except perhaps the packed lunches sometimes. Moriah Hill in Kibuye has definitely seen its better days, but has a fantastic location. Shafiq has been very reliable and pleasant the whole trip, very punctual and an excellent driver.
A bit too much time in the car is the only bad thing with the holiday but fortunately Rwanda is so beautiful so lots of fantastic views
