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.

Overall good - We did the 7 day tour. Jeck was a very good guide and driver. The tour itself was good and Jeck did everything to make sure we saw lions and leopards, with success! We also saw the chimpanzees and gorillas. We were not so satisfied with the first two accommodations. The others were very good and the food was very delicious throughout the tour.

Safari with friends and family - Wonderful is all I can say from the airport transportation pick up on time and professionally handled to the delivery of us to our hotel lodging .. even the extra attention to go back to the airport for luggage that was missed on the connecting flight the attention to detail the check-in process at the hotel the tour guides all were excellent I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in doing the Safari with this tour guide.

Gorilla & Chimpanzee Tour in Uganda - I went for a 5 days Solo trip to Uganda with DAV Safari & my experience was amazing. They have lodges at nice locations and tours were planned as per my liking. Ibrahim who was coordinator of my trip was always ready to help & give solution as per my liking. Brian driver cum guide became my close friend on this tour. Based on my amazing experience with them i choose them for Nile River origin tour as well.

Trip of a Life Time - We had an awesome experience, with Adison being our driver & guide. Adison was very informative, readily answered questions and ensured we were well looked after. Our accommodation at both lodges was amazing with staff being very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely be recommending Uganda, Dav Safaris, our accommodation & Adison to friends and family wishing to come to Africa.
