Uganda Stole Our Hearts — An Unforgettable Journey with Wagatil Safaris.
5/5

Our experience with Wagatil Safaris in Uganda was simply exceptional — 5/5 stars, and honestly, we wish we could give more.

From the very beginning, the communication was clear, responsive, and professional. Planning a 13-day trip to a country we had never visited could have felt complicated, but the team made everything straightforward and stress-free. Questions were answered quickly, expectations were set clearly, and the itinerary was well organized from start to finish.

We traveled as a family (my wife, 54; my daughter, 19; and me), and by the time we left Uganda, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to friends we had known for years. Uganda has a way of getting under your skin in the best possible way.

For anyone who loves wildlife and nature, this experience is beyond words. I’ve never enjoyed zoos — seeing animals in captivity has never felt right to me — so witnessing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat was priceless. Nothing compares to standing close enough to a silverback gorilla to hear it breathing, walking near rhinoceroses, or watching vultures circle and finish a carcass. These moments stay with you.

The highlight of the trip, without question, was our guide, Martin. He is deeply knowledgeable and enriched every day with stories and insights about the animals and the land — from lion behavior to migration patterns and local ecosystems. He seems to know everyone (and their cousins) across Uganda, which made a real difference when it came to knowing where to go, what was happening, and where we had the best chances to spot wildlife. His reliability and calm presence made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times.

Partway through the trip, I had a personal matter back home and needed to leave early. Martin handled everything quickly and calmly, coordinating my return to the airport without stress. That level of service and reliability is rare. After spending 10 days traveling with him, I felt completely comfortable leaving my wife to continue the rest of the journey with Wagatil Safaris and Martin — that says a lot about the trust he builds.

The tour itself was incredibly well designed. The pacing, variety of parks, wildlife encounters, and cultural experiences all felt thoughtfully planned. Every day brought something new — from gorillas and lions to river safaris, villages, and breathtaking landscapes.

In terms of value for money, this trip exceeded expectations. The logistics, guiding, accommodations, and overall experience delivered far more than we anticipated. The accommodations were consistently excellent, and the staff at every lodge and hotel were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There is something very special about the people of Uganda.

I usually plan and manage my own travel and rarely book guided tours, but Uganda is different. Navigating the parks, distances, and wildlife opportunities would have been far more difficult on our own. Having a knowledgeable, reliable guide made everything seamless and allowed us to focus fully on the experience.

This was not just a trip — it was an experience that will stay with our family forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Wagatil Safaris and Martin to anyone considering Uganda.

Dream Safari
5/5

Our trip 2-week trip with Wagtail Safaris was nothing short of extraordinary — truly the realization of a dream I had carried for over 20 years: seeing the mountain gorillas in the wild. From the very beginning, the company put together a comprehensive itinerary that exceeded our expectations in every way — incredible places to visit, diverse activities, beautiful and very enjoyable hotels, and, most importantly, unforgettable wildlife encounters across Uganda.

The logistics were absolutely flawless. Every transfer, park entry, and activity ran smoothly and without a hitch, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in the experience.

Our guide, Martin Asiimwe, was exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, with a warm, fun personality and seemingly endless patience. He could answer every question we had — from detailed animal behavior to social and political topics about the country — which added tremendous depth to the journey. His driving skills were superb, even on sometimes challenging roads, and his safari jeep was incredibly comfortable. What amazed us most was how spotless it was every morning after we had left it covered in dirt from the previous day’s adventures.

Martin was genuinely committed to making sure each traveler had the best possible experience. Early in the trip, he asked each person for the three animals we most wanted to see — and he kept that in mind throughout the safari, doing everything possible to ensure we each had those special sightings. That level of personal attention made the experience feel truly customized.

All in all, this was the most amazing safari one could dream of — perfectly organized, deeply enriching, and offered at a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend this company and Martin highly enough.

Perfect
5/5

I recommend booking with Wagatil Safaris. Reliable and punctual according to the scheduled times. A very good driver who drove us calmly and safely on both days. A wonderful experience with all the animals, and the accommodation in the park was also great.
