Gorillas and the Batwa people - a never to forget experience - What an experience. We stayed overnight at the Bweza Lodge adjacent to the Brindi National Park. The lodge, its staff and location are great. The following day our guide Benjamin took us to the national park where we did a gorilla trek. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. We hred a porter, George, who carried our pack and luckily for me was my saviour in helping me weave my way through the muddy trail of the jungle. When we arrived at the location where the gorillas were, we were then guided further in to the jungle by other guides to where the gorillas were. We spent an hour with the gorillas and were then guided back through the jungle. We can't thank our driver/guide Benjamin enough for his great service, expert knowlwdge and a sheer pleasure to be with. Benjamin also took us to a village to meet the Batwa people. That day was a never to forget experience. Meeting those humble, friendly people as well a paying a visit to the school and meeting the great kids, was sheer enjoyment. Again our thanks to Dav Safaris and Benjamin for an unforgetable time.

Recommendation for Joyous as your guide / driver! - Joyous was our guide / driver and he made our experience unforgettable. He was fun, engaging in all conversations, and we learned a lot about Uganda from our time together. Little things that we loved was picking up finger bananas on our trip, they were delicious, on game drives Joyous would communicate with the other drivers to find where the most unique animal locations were, and finally we became great friends with Joyous which amplified our experience and our time traveling Uganda.

Gorillas, Golden Monkeys OMG!!! - Our aim was to see the Golden Monkeys and Gorrilas and stay over at Lake Bonyonyi. Every thing went as planned. Nothing was a problem for our guide Isaac. Our arrival changed last minute due to flight changes to avoid the middle east conflict but theyhad no hassels with adjusting - Isaac also helped us change an ongoing flight during our trip (he went above and beyond). The Golden Monkeys were fun and a fairly easy walk (some light rain at end and a bit muddy) got some amazing pictures and the Gorillas were simply amazing. Isaac and Davs Safari organised everything, we saw an entire family (all 15?) with a silver back gorilla (he seemed happy just sitting and wanting our attention - actually moved the family along a little so we started and finished with him in different poses - I would swear he wanted us to take good photos of him and made eye contact with us) and the rest of the family including mothers and their babies all interacting together. They moved up & down trees, changed places and ate a bit as well. Can not thank Isaac enough - he was punctual, knowledgable and simply amazing at his job. This tour was all about the animals when we booked it and it became that perfect trip of a lifetime we will remember forever. Oh nearly forget we canoed around an entire island.

Nice place to vist Golden money and Gorillas - Issac is a very responsible person. He always treats us as the priority. Always make sure we are ok. Sometimes the road is tough and he would drive very carefully. He explains us about the history and the facts of many view points. Also always on time on early morning so our schedules were on time. He manages well about all the activities we have joined. He is willing to wake up early in the morning in order to catch up all the activities as planned. We really appreciate how Issac treated us

We loved Uganda and Dav Safaris - 11 day safari visiting 5 National Parks with Adison, the best driver/guide in Uganda! He drove us safely through a land slide. We had great accommodations and a wonderful variety of tasty food. We saw a large variety of animals, plants, and birds. Adison was quite knowledgeable in all areas. One hour spent with Gorillas was a highlight. Our time on the chimpanzee walk was superb with guide Bosco. He was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The whole trip was educational and the Ugandan people were so friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend visiting Uganda, using Dav Safari Tours and asking for Adison as your driver/guide.

My African Safari with Adison and Dav Safari - My experience was excellent. Right from the airport Addison was attentive , knowledgeable and friendly. I felt the cost was fine considering the superior guiding, trekking and auxiliary staff that supported my safari. I’m afraid the length of the visit was not long enough but this was my first visit. I’m pleased with the quality and quantity of wildlife, driving experiences and our accommodations. There were only 6 on our safari; all friends so this was a perfect number. The atmosphere was relaxed but full of great times. My trip was best for those who have the ability to walk at least 2 hours, enjoy the outdoors and relate to other cultures and people. The driving was an adventure due to busy roads, lots of people walking and chaotic traffic. Adison is a good, safe driver so we all agreed he made us feel safe. He had some wet slippery roads to manage and did this well.

Amazing service, highly recommended - We had an amazing experience thanks to the agency but especially thanks to our guide Hudson. Amazing service, he listened to our special requests (like “we want to eat pineapple now hehe), he knows a lot about Uganda, helped us with visiting the most beautiful places and managed that we saw so many different animals.
