Silver Backs are a must at the Mgahinga Forest, Choose Dav Safaris - First of All, the Gorillas of Mgahinga Forest, incredible experience nothing can comapre to it being so upclose with them, we fully recommend these over the Bwindi Forest as these are what the rangers called habitated gorillas, in summary friendly and safe under the guidance of the rangers. We also had a lovely welcome dance from the local tribe before we began the trek to the gorillas.
Secondly, Charles our driver, such a great guy, you can tell he genuinely cares about us having a good time, he was very joyous and that made us happy always smiling seeing f we are okay or if we want something, took us to the best hotels and took care of us when passing through multiple police check points even when we were stopped he handled it no problem and we kept on going. He picked us up from Rwanda (where i recommend landing for this safari at least an additional day before to experience) and then helped us cross to Uganda, (which you have to do on foot). He after took us for a lovely lunch in Kisoro where where he left us in safe hands, until he settled our papers for the trek which saved us losing time. He then took us to the Ichunbi hotel which is amazing and reviewed separately. Day 2 After the gorilla trek on the 2nd day we went to the Rock resort in lake bunyoni, which I recommend as a unqiue experience. Day 3 had a long drive to Entebbe Airportas we continuednto go to Kenya. where we had plenty of water breaks and even stopped at a restaurant which had great prices on souvenirs which i recommend buying from especially if your next destination is Kenya (expensive souvenirs) none the less negotiate always. As we had our long drive it was an experience the Ugandan way of life change from the villages to the city, especially regarding buying groceries. Charles really explained the way of life in Uganda and made us connect to Uganda.
I whole heartedly recommend this experience. I would also look into flying from kisoro airport to Entebbe airport via the bi-plane if you're not up for a long 8 hour drive. Or returning back to Kigali for the outward flight to you next destination.

Once in a lifetime experience - We had a great time getting to and experiencing the Gorillas. Hudson our guide was amazing and had confidence in his driving and getting us to our destinations. He was very helpful with organising a great porter and we were very lucky to have a great guide to take us to Gorillas. What I once in lifetime experience.

Unforgettable 3-Day Adventure with Dav Safaris - We are about to wrap up an incredible 3-day journey with Dav Safaris, and what an experience it has been! From the awe-inspiring Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi, to peaceful canoeing on the beautiful Lake Bunyonyi, and finally a memorable lunch at the Equator — every moment was thoughtfully planned and unforgettable.
A special thank you to Adison, whose warm hospitality and local insights made this trip even more meaningful. We learned so much from him about Ugandan culture and life, and his presence truly enriched our experience.
This trip has been nothing short of life-changing. Highly recommend Dav Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organised adventure in Uganda.

Amazing experience - The experience of this tour was unforgettable, especially the gorilla visit, a once in a lifetime moment. Dav Safari did a great job and the accommodations in general very nice, although too many hours on the road. Our guide, Benjamin, helped us in every way possible. 100% recommended trip.

Gorilla Trek Experience - I couldn’t recommend this enough. We booked through Dav Safaris and it was so seamless and hassle free from the very start. Richard was our guide and he was a pleasure to have. The gorilla trek itself was the most amazing experience and we will be recommending it to everyone at home! 10/10 tour with Dav Safaris

incredible guide, tour and company. - With Dav Safaris, our family had a fantastic time seeing Tanzania. Their staff made sure everything was well planned from beginning to end, which made the trip stress-free and pleasurable for everybody. We witnessed amazing wildlife, including lions, elephants, and even a rare rhino sighting, as we traveled to famous sites like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide was excellent, very informed, and skilled at keeping the adults and children interested during the trip.
Families found the rooms to be perfect because they were roomy, cozy, and in excellent areas. Our children particularly enjoyed learning about traditional living and even participating in some local dances during the cultural excursion to a nearby Masai village. Dav Safaris went above and beyond to ensure that our holiday will never be forgotten. Their expertise, meticulousness, and kind demeanor made this the ideal family outing. To anyone considering a Tanzanian tour, we heartily recommend Dav Safaris.

A Must Do!! - I had a wonderful experience with Dav Safaris and would highly recommend them! My tour guide was Adams, and he’s the best tour guide I’ve ever had! As a solo female traveler I felt safe with him and he was an informative guide and friend! I initially flew to Rwanda and spent a day there and did the golden monkey trekking and then to Uganda for the gorilla trekking. We also spent some time in the Dian Fossey museum and the genocide museum, the latter being emotionally hard to go to but important to learn about. The places we stayed at were top notch and the food and everyone I met along the way were very kind and hospitable. Don’t think twice about it just do it!

A wonderful adventure ! - We took a 4-day trip with Dav Safaris across Rwanda and Uganda to see the region’s primates, particularly the golden monkeys and the silverback gorillas. Our guide, Bonnie, was welcoming and knowledgeable, sharing insights that added depth to our experience. The encounters with the gorillas and other primates were truly special. Overall, it was a well-organized trip, and we’d recommend Dav Safaris to anyone looking for a wildlife adventure in the area.
