a day in the wild
I will highly recommend this 1 day trip in Pilanesberg. Our guide - Martin, was very knowledgable and with his help and the nature help we manage to see amazing animals, including lions.

Trip of a lifetime with Wagatil and Jackson, our awesome guide!
After much research for our trip to Africa, we knew gorilla trekking was top of our bucket list. Wagatil Safaris came up as a very reputable company to deal with through our research. Pretty, our Wagatil contact, was very responsive during our planning process and showed that she was very committed to making our trip memorable. Yes, making the initial trip deposit was a bit intimidating sending $$ off to Uganda, but we trusted in Pretty and team, which did not disappoint!
The start of our trip was a 3:00am pickup from Jackson, our awesome guide, from our Kigali hotel and off we went for two days of incredible hospitality from Jackson. Day one was a golden monkey trek, which was a physical challenge, but very worth it!
Wagatil then arranged our accomodation overnight at a beautiful mountain
lodge. We enjoyed a terrific dinner and the great company of Jackson. Day two was our gorilla trek. Jackson ensured that we had the guides and group for the best experience possible and it was an experience we will never forget.
To see the gorillas in their natural habitat and comfortable with us in their space, we will long remember. Bucket list item, this is a once in a lifetime experience and the Wagatil team made it happen for us.
Jackson even came to our rescue to re-pick us up after leaving us in Kigali due to a misrepresentation by a property on booking.com. His commitment to ensuring we are looked after was unwavering. We would highly recommend Jackson and the Wagatil team! We would love to be able to revisit some day and have the experience all over again!!

An outstanding safari experience from start to finish. Amos, our guide is knowledgeable, dependable, and very considerate. He arranged excellent accommodations and somehow always knew where to find the animals. He consistently went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. Amos is the best!

A highly professional and attentive tour operator that delivers an unforgettable safari!
One of the best experiences of my life from beginning to end!
The entire safari was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. Communication before and during the trip was amazing — we were always in contact with a responsible person who answered our questions quickly and made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times.
One person in our group has allergies, and everything was perfectly adapted without hesitation. The attention to detail and level of care truly impressed us.
The accommodations were also 10/10 — beautiful safari-style settings while still offering comfort, great service, and an unforgettable atmosphere.
And finally, our guide Danford truly made the whole experience exceptional. He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to every request we had. Thanks to him, we were able to see so many animals up close while always feeling completely safe. His passion and expertise made the safari even more special.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation. Thank you for unforgettable memories!

Surprises of cheetah leopard and lion in 10-day Kenya and Tanzania Safari
Joshua took us to find all big five in Maasai Mara and Nakuru. However, next time I will upgrade the two nights stay in Maasai Mara from Manyatta Camp to a lodge. There was a hyena around my camp during the night. I was a little scared.
Brian took us to see a running group of elephants in Amboseli, which is amazing.
What impressed me most is Serengeti. I saw a leopard climbing up and down the tree, a cheetah eating an antelope, vultures eating a wildebeest, and lions mating. However, next time I will upgrade Seronera Camp, which is not allowed to go out of the Camp after 11 pm for security reasons. Simba Campsite is safe with hot shower water, However, it was a little cold during night in May.
The company will keep in touch with me to make sure everything is fine. Although the shuttle driver was 2 hours late to pick me up, I arrived the airport in time.

Winner on the game drive!
It was a very good experience. I really felt like I was in a game, trying to find the highest number of animals. The guide found so much more than just the Big Five! Good job!
