Incredible 8 day tour of Uganda
5/5

Review

We did a 8 Day tour of Uganda, including Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Mburo.
From the very first contact, Wagatil has been a pleasure to organize the tour. I could individualize my itinerary and special requests were gladly accommodated. I planned to propose to my girlfriend and the owner Martin, who also took us on this trip, helped me lots to organize the proposal.
All accommodations throughout the trip were perfect, food was on a very high level and the whole trip felt more like a tour with a good friend. Martin is easy going, empathetic, always plans ahead to prevent any problem whatsoever. He studied wildlife management and has an unbelievable amount of contacts in all corners of Uganda.
We felt 100% safe during our whole trip, there was not a single minute where we felt uncomfortable, there was not a single dull moment even some drives were around 5 hours.
Uganda is an incredibly beautiful country, with so much diversity and incredible people.
From Hundreds of Giraffes, to Lions, spectacular Leopard encounters (spotted by Martin, so we had a private encounter with the leopard), Chimpanzees and Gorillas in Bwindi, there is so much to explore.

We can only vouch for Wagatil and Martin as a tour operator in Uganda. He made this special trip absolutely flawless.

We already miss exploring Uganda with him or talking about its wildlife or anything really.

Amazing experience for one day gorilla trek
5/5

Couldn’t have asked for a more professional and efficient tour. I was super short on time so ended up electing to do a 1 day Gorilla Trek and boy am I glad I did. It started with Alex picking me up at the airport when I landed at 2:00 am (flight delay). We went straight to the Uganda boarder and crossed without issue. Alex was great at helping coordinate what I needed to do. I would have been completely lost without him. He then drove so smoothly to the Trekking that I was able to get some sleep in the car without any problem. The Trekking was absolutely fantastic and I’m so happy that I took the time to make it happen before ending my trip to East Africa. If you are considering it, I would highly recommend you make it happen, even if it’s a one day trip like I did. From there it was back to the airport and flying back home. The communication with Wagatil was great and responses on WhatsApp and email were quick. I would recommend this company to anyone considering a Gorilla Trek.

Absolutely amazing tour operator!
5/5

An unforgettable experience visiting Uganda and the once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time the Mountain Gorillas.

Martin was an exceptional guide. We chose Wagatil Safaris for their outstanding customer service and flexibility.

We contacted four operators. Martin responded first, set up a WhatsApp chat and provided a detailed itinerary that was tailored to our interests.

On meeting Martin in Kigali, I knew we were in safe hands. He made us feel immediately welcome.

Martin knows everyone! He made our trip so easy, even with some health issues experienced along the way. He was so kind and empathetic.

Martin gave great advice. He wasn’t looking to upsell to more expensive accommodation and activities. He listened and tailored our trip accordingly.

For future travelers, if time and budget allows, stay for two nights. Our stay at the Birds Nest Resort after our Gorilla trek was magical. We loved the lakeside location, facilities and activities like a boat trip around Lake Bunyonyi. We also loved Bweza Gorilla Lodge.

We will never forget our time in Uganda. It was made extra special thanks to Martin and his team at Wagatil Safaris. Don’t go with any other guides!

Excellent tour agency all about thriving client for best experience
5/5

Amazing experience on a day trip of gorilla trekking with Wagatil! Martin was very friendly, attentive, helpful and organised, he always here to listen to my needs, answering my questions and helping me to find solutions to see gorilla and visa in short period of time. The whole process was very smooth.

Drivers were awesome and skilful especially driving in foggy conditions and hilly off road. They were very kind, helped me to take photos and videos to capture special moments, also managed to squeeze in the Batwa community as time allowed even it was a long day for them! Making sure that I had a good experience which i did very much!

Lunch was also provided! Food was delicious!

I am very thankful that i chose to join this tour organised by Wagatil (Martin) and the whole team! It was my best experience in East Africa. I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Excellent trip all around
5/5

We went to the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park with my sister for a day trip from Kigali. Alex was the best driver we have ever had on a tour. He drove patiently and safely, he was very helpful, professional and friendly. The guides at the trek were also knowledgeable, and made experience as amazing as we'd imagined it would be. The national park is situated in a breathtaking part of Uganda, where you also get to see parts of the country where you may not have a chance to go otherwise. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.
