Changes in itinerary: In the case of unforeseen circumstances (such as road closures, bad weather, security conditions or problems with hotels) Dav Safaris reserves the right to make adjustments in the itinerary. You will off-course be informed about this as soon as possible.

Payment: We will ask you for a down payment in connection with making the booking (this payment always includes the Gorilla permits/Chimpanzee permits since these have to be secured right away). At the latest one month prior to the start of the safari full payment should be made (unless other terms have been agreed). Bookings made within one month of departure must be paid in full in connection to booking. After receipt of first down payment Dav Safaris will take necessary steps to secure bookings of items specified in the itinerary.

Means of payment: Payment from abroad should be done through bank transfer to our account in Uganda. Fees for transfer are paid by the client. We accept payment in cash in at least USD, EURO or GB pound sterling.

During the safari: The animals in the parks are wild so no guarantees can be given of good sightings during game drives or trekking, but rangers and our guides will do their very best to make sure you get a great experience.

Vehicles: We put a lot of energy into getting cars that are in a roadworthy condition. Despite this punctures, breakdowns, damage or any other delay can occur due to poor road conditions that are out of our control, for this no liability can be accepted.

Insurance: It is the client’s responsibility to make sure that they have sufficient coverage with travel insurance.

Health: It is the responsibility of the client to insure that proper medical precautions (immunizations and so on) have been taken.

Gorilla trekking is dependent on the availability of permits at the time of your booking. Gorilla permits in all the national parks of Uganda and Rwanda are in high demand; we advise that you book your tour well in advance to avoid disappointment. If gorilla permits are not available for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, it’s possible to see the mountain gorillas at Mgahinga Gorilla National Park which is 7 kilometres from the town of Kisoro in Uganda.
