Great experience
We did a 6 day Rwanda and Uganda tour with Wagatil. Whole experience was wonderful, starting with booking and customization with Martin.
Our guide, Jackson, was helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. This is very important because we spent a lot of time driving from place to place.
I highly recommend this company and the guide, you will be very happy.

Great agency for an unforgettable trip!
The agency represented by Pretty organized our 14-day family trip with four children aged 6 to 13 and two parents. They made sure everything was planned for our family size beforehand and scheduled visits to the most beautiful and unforgettable places in Uganda. Our driver-guide, Vincent, was also fantastic—patient and attentive to our needs. We saw an incredible number of animals, including some of the rarest species, thanks to Vincent's keen eye and extensive knowledge! We had an unforgettable trip thanks to this agency, which I wholeheartedly recommend. A huge thank you to Wagatil Safaris, Pretty, and Vincent!

Exceptional from start to finish
From start to finish, Wagatil were exceptional! After finding the estimated quote on safari tours, booking process was incredibly easy. Pretty was very responsive and easy to discuss the different aspects of their tour options.
Martin our guide for our private mid-range 6 day trip from Rwanda to Uganda (including gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys and game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park) was truly exceptional. His knowledge was second to none, he was able to ask any questions we had (even the random ones that had nothing to do with the itinerary) and did so will enthusiasm and a smile. He showed so much passion about all of the different species of wildlife we were tracking and also of his country, we learnt so much from him about both. Martin always went above and beyond for us, from the organisation of the excursions to ensure we had the best outcome he could provide, to running the scheduled tightly to ensure we didn’t miss out on something we would have wanted to see, and from his choices of accommodation which were always strides better than we had expected to be getting, to making stops when we needed at pharmacies, ATMs and food stores for snacks on long drives, he never once made us feel like we were being a pain. This is something we were truly appreciative of, having been on many tours with many guides, and this often not being the experience.
Overall, I can’t recommend Wagatil and specifically Martin enough. We had the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget! We will be sharing the company’s details with anyone who wishes to come Uganda on a trip and hope to return ourselves soon!

Amazing experience
Uganda is an awesome place. Everyone we met was super friendly. The tour itself was put together so well that everyday was another amazing experience.
Our guide Martin made his job look effortless. He was genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience but we would barely notice the work he put in. Which made it feel extremely calm and relaxed.
We'd considered a self drive but Martin's experience getting us in the best spots with the wildlife, sorting permits so we flew past queues was some of the best money I've ever spent.
How invested Ugandans and Martin specifically are in their country and preserving the nature within it made our trip something we'll never forget.

Professional, accommodating and seamless
A 6 day Rwanda and Uganda itinerary, lead by our excellent guide and driver, Martin.
Everything was seamless and his intimate knowledge of each destination and activity allowed us to sit back and enjoy every aspect without having to consider any logistics.
Great sense of humor and he didn't use a map for the entire duration. He seemed to know everyone and that did us wonders when getting to the right spots for game drives and successful hikes for the chimps, gorillas and golden monkeys.
Would highly recommend the company to friends and family and especially Martin. We were a group of 3 and felt that everything was really well priced and professionally handled.

Maginific honeymoon and profesional services!
It has been an amazing experience with Pretty and Jackson! Always attentive with immediate support and constant care to make our honeymoon very comfortable and enjoyable! I would definitely repeat with them for the next adventures in Uganda or Rwanda!
Rest in Banana with Wagatil! The best experience ever!!
This is the best experience ever! And it is not only just because of the safari or the gorilla trekking, but it is mainly people of the kind people like Eddie and Pretty! Eddie our guide has been very helpful, informative, and fun to hang with for 6 days. Always go out of his way to help and very flexible with the plan. Pretty is sooo pretty like her name inside and out. Very kind very responsive and trust her with the accommodation, when it says “midrange” it means “bougie af”. Thank you Eddie and Pretty so being so kind and helpful. I love Uganda and want to come back again because of you guys. Miss you guys already!
Epic Primates Tour
Just finished my solo 8 day Tour with Wagatil Safaris. I had a fantastic experience. My tour started in Entebbe and finished in Kilgali, covering the Chimps, Gorillas, Golden Monkeys with a couple of safaris along the way. Martin my guide was easy to get on with and knowledgeable. Safe driving and happy to accommodate my extra requests. Wagatil are based in Uganda and offer a professional service at a reasonable price. I recommend.

Was a much better trip than expected
The safari with wagatil was much better than expected, the lodges were top notch, the food was great all the way through, saw so so many animals on the various treks, got so close to the gorillas, (steep difficult 3-4 hour hike up rough terrain at high altitude to see the mountain gorillas) Martin the driver guide was fantastic, has extensive knowledge about animals, regions etc, managed to find leopards in Queen Elizabeth park, no other groups saw leopards that day, real nice Toyota Land Cruiser, also Pretty the manager at the office was great, even stopped off at their office to meet her, this trip was much better than expected and a dream come true seeing the gorillas up so close. A big thank you to all at wagatil .
