Excellent tour agency all about thriving client for best experience
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
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.

Caring, safe, flexible & made our dreams come true!
I would like to thank Martin and Stuart for helping us experience an adventure holiday of a lifetime. A custom tour designed extra for us, that included all of our wishes, Mission accomplished! From start to finish we felt safe, secure, comfortable (even with the bumpy Uganda roads - our extra special Uganda massages were a running joke and fun factor.)
Our accommodations were beautiful, always giving us time to rest between safaris, gorillas and chimpanzees. Delicious meals and stops along the way ensured we were never left hungry or wondering when the next stop will be. Stuart is an impeccable guide & driver, full of history, trivia and always was able to judge our ‚reception‘ capabilities, or a need for some quiet, sometimes just 'African Beats‘ on his play list.
We wish both, and Wagatil Safaris, continued success, fabulous adventures and many many happy clients - and can’t wait to book our return to beautiful Uganda

absolutely fabulous due to the expertise, talent, flexibility and above all the passion of the team
I just came back from a fantastic 2 day Gorilla trekking in Bwindi with Wagatil: it absolutely surpassed any of my expectations!! Thanks to the talented guiding of Gavis (aka the Rock), who is not only an excellent driver and gifted nature guide, but also adds up Ugandan spice and unbelievable "joi de vivre", we experienced a fabulous tour of which the not-to-miss mountain gorillas are only one of the highlights. In this gorgeous natural environment, there is also room for flexibility, spontaneity and cultural exchange which makes this experience even more profoundly touching. The whole Wagatil team (Gavis, Martin, Pretty, ..) stole my heart! I would really highly recommend them for any Ugandan/Rwandan adventure. Regards, Peter (Belgium)
Great
We came to a standstill with our car and driver. Gavis, the guide from another company, stopped and took us! He was a cheerful, energetic man who drove very well and got us to our destination! Many thanks!

Amazing experience! Worth every penny!
My husband and I did the 10 day safari for our honeymoon and it was an unforgettable experience. Uganda, itself, is absolutely gorgeous with so many diverse landscapes (a pleasant surprise), sweet and welcoming people, and, of course, awesome wildlife! The gorillas….AMAZING and our favorite experience on the trip. And we liked that it was saved for the end of the trip. It was a well thought out route because it started out with a bang and then got better and better, and the gorillas were like a grand finale and then we had a relaxing end. All of our accommodations were clean, with excellent service and staff and beautiful views. Also, the food was great at each accommodation. We didn’t expect that even with all of that…our guide/company we chose would be the best part of the trip. My husband and I actually made a mistake in scheduling and we landed a day later than we were supposed to and they accommodated us without issue and didn’t make us feel bad. They were super understanding. Martin, our guide and owner, made us feel comfortable right off the bat. He didn’t make us feel bad about asking so many questions about their culture and wildlife and gave us some good insight. We actually had some great conversations and the whole trip felt like a road trip with friends. It was so much better than I ever imagined this trip was going to be. 10/10 recommend!

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience with Wagatil Safaris
I had an amazing gorilla trekking safari with Wagatil Safaris, and everything went perfectly from start to finish. The organization was excellent—everything was well-planned and ran smoothly.
Martín, the owner of the company and the person in charge of my trip, was also my driver. He was incredibly kind, respectful, and always attentive to my needs. His driving was safe and professional, and he made sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was breathtaking and something I will never forget, but what truly made the difference was the peace of mind I had thanks to Martín and the way he handled every detail of the trip with care and dedication.
I would recommend Wagatil Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and good company to organize their adventure. Thank you, Martín, for making this journey so special!

Life-Changing Solo Safari & Gorilla Trekking Trip
I recently returned from a 5-day safari and gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda with Wagatil Safaris, and I can confidently say it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and well cared for throughout the journey. From the very beginning, the booking and customization process was seamless, thanks to the incredible support from Martin. He was responsive, accommodating, and made sure every detail matched what I envisioned for my trip.
My guide, Eddie, was outstanding—deeply knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about Uganda’s wildlife and culture. His presence made the entire experience feel welcoming and insightful.
The trip was a perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was beyond magical. I had the privilege of tracking the Tindatine family—an awe-inspiring encounter that left me speechless. The forest trek itself was incredibly rewarding, surrounded by stunning, untouched nature.
The accommodations were thoughtfully selected: Irungu Forest Safari Lodge, Bweza Gorilla Lodge, and Hyena Hill Lodge each offered a cozy, immersive experience close to nature. The staff were welcoming, and every stay felt peaceful and comfortable.
Meals throughout were delicious and authentic, offering a true taste of Ugandan cuisine.
Wagatil Safaris offers many flexible options to tailor your trip exactly as you need. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly make them stand out.
If you’re considering a trip to Uganda—especially as a solo traveler—I wholeheartedly recommend Wagatil Safaris. I’m already dreaming of returning
