Martin made the experience so special for us!
I’ve taken a lot of tours and I almost never write reviews, but Martin is absolutely the BEST. We honestly could not have asked for a better guide. He completely exceeded our expectations and made the entire experience unforgettable.
He is so kind and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. He made sure all of our needs were met. He seemed to know what we needed and wanted without even having to ask. He made sure our itinerary was executed perfectly, saving the best for last.
Martin is friends with everybody and has connections everywhere. Not only was he able to secure super hard-to-get last minute gorilla tracking permits for us at Mgahinga (they only sell 8 permits per day) he was also able to get us into the best group for gorilla trekking at Bwindi. And for chimpanzee tracking, he managed to get us into a group with only 4 people total, when all the other groups were much larger.
I did a lot of research before booking with Martin and interviewed a lot of other tour operators, but Martin had the best personality and the best price.
If you are planning a trip to Uganda, you will have the best experience with Martin!!

The best guide for Rwanda and Uganda tour
Thanks to Martin’s help, my trip to Rwanda and Uganda went very smoothly. I was a bit worried before setting off, but with Martin’s support I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. During the silverback gorilla trek, I was lucky enough to encounter two families, Tinedatine and Bweza, which was absolutely thrilling. Staying at Rock Resort Lake Bunyonyi was a truly unique experience that allowed me to find some peace and quiet. I also learnt about the Rwandan Genocide at the two Genocide Memorials. Martin is a very friendly and professional guide! I would recommend him to all my friends planning a trip to East Africa.

Amazing 8 day adventure in Uganda
Just finished an amazing adventure with Wagatil Safaris and would highly recommend. I did a private solo trip with them for 8 days in Uganda and everything went so well. The experience with them was great from start to end. Smooth and nice communication with Pretty and Martin, who were helping me personalize my itinerary and planning, they were so nice and quick to answer any questions and very flexible to make any changes I requested and help to make the perfect trip for me. Everything was arranged and sorted so all I had to do was enjoy and take in all the incredible experiences, which made me feel very comfortable and in good safe hands.
Can't praise my guide Eddie enough - he was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable and we were so lucky to see absolutely everything on the trip - from a leopard with her two cubs, tree climbing lion right next to us, gorillas with babies climbing around us - everything I ever dreamed of was ticked off the list!
I did an 8 day trip which meant we were on the road most days and experiencing something new everyday, which was perfect for me as I was traveling alone and it felt like something was always happening and new things were waiting for us at every stop, but Uganda has so much to offer and experience so you won't be bored by adding even more days and activities.
Thank you to Wagatil, Pretty, Martin and especially Eddie for making this trip an amazing and unforgettable adventure!

Perfect Tour (for female solo-traveller)
I contacted Wagatil Safaris on very short notice, only three weeks before my departure. Pretty responded immediately and prepared an itinerary for me.
The communication via WhatsApp was very friendly and professional. Pretty kept updating me whenever she found alternative, better hotels or optimized the route. Whenever I had questions, I always received a very quick reply.
I booked a 5-day tour through Rwanda and Uganda including hiking, Golden Monkey trekking, Gorilla trekking, and chimpanzee trekking. At my request, I spent the first day on my own in Kigali and was picked up the following morning by my driver Andrew. As a solo female traveler, I felt very comfortable and safe with him.
Andrew has a very pleasant driving style, is very friendly, and explains a lot about the country and its people. I also found it really sweet that after a few days I learned that Pretty checked in with Andrew every day to make sure I was truly happy with everything.
The individual excursions were perfectly organized. It was breathtaking to see the animals in the wild. The nature is incredibly beautiful and the experiences are truly unique.
It was also very nice to meet Pretty in person during a dinner.
I can recommend Wagatil Safaris 100% and would definitely book with them again.
It was absolutely worth every penny.
