Experts in what they do, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and they put the customer first.
Our Safari vacation with Sekanka Safaris was highlight after highlight from start to finish. From the moment we inquired about our dream trip, everything was incredibly well organized. Anna and Tepo answered all of our questions and did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable.
When it was finally time to fly to Botswana to start our trip, we felt the whole itinerary was carefully and perfectly organized. We got see a lot of animals, including all of the Big Five. We were truly amazed by the special experience of camping in the Okavango Delta - falling asleep to lions roaring.
We would definitely recommend booking with Sekanka Safaris!
Very flexible.
After another tour company set up the wrong pickup site, Rudzani met us and made sure we got back to our hotel after the tour.
Rudzani did a great job driving and got us everywhere safely and on time.
Our two tour guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The museum boat ride was fun. The cave tour turned out to be an adventure. We learned why we were given hard hats.

We are a couple (M, 49; F, 38) who chose to go with Wagatil for its positive reviews and the itinerary. The trip was a dream from start to finish! Roland picked us up at our hotel in Kigali and for eight days he made sure we experienced the best of Uganda. Our itinerary included Golden Monkey trekking, Gorilla trekking, Game Drives in Queen Elizabeth, River cruise and Chimp trekking. The lodges we stayed in were beautiful and romantic. The beds were comfortable, the water was generally hot, and the food was delicious. It was a real privilege to connect with Roland over his passion for Uganda's fauna and flora, learning about the different animals and plant life (lots about banana trees!)
The Ebola outbreak was announced halfway through our trip and Roland and Wagatil took care to keep us up to date about how it might impact our trip (it didn't!). It was clear there is anxiety for Uganda's tourism industry and its workers (tour guides and hotel managers and staff) over what is expected to be many cancellations because of fear of the virus. Each person has to choose for themselves but we always felt very safe since the Uganda tourism circuit is far away from the epicenter of the virus (about 200 miles!).
It's hard to pick just a few stand out moments. Heading back to the lodge after the game drive, Roland stopped the car on the side of the road to point out a rare Leopard sighting -- it was such a chance encounter! At one of our lodges, an elephant sauntered up to the lobby. It was so cool to be so close to wildlife. And when we insisted on stopping by the side of the road for an authentic pork joint / Waragi gin experience, Roland happily obliged.
The Gorilla trekking was awe-inspiring and exhilarating. With the chimps, it was downpouring so much, but it created a unique experience, and we got some great shots and had some interesting interactions.
The whole trip was a dream. It's always a little nerve wracking to choose a tour operator sight unseen, but Wagatil was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience
We had an amazing Kenya safari experience and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The wildlife sightings, landscapes, and overall organization made it a truly memorable journey.
A special mention goes to our guide, Jackson, who was exceptionally well-behaved, professional, and cooperative throughout the safari. He was always punctual, knowledgeable, patient, and eager to ensure that we had the best possible experience. His ability to spot wildlife and share interesting information greatly enhanced our trip.
The only area that could use improvement is the Land Cruiser provided for the safari. While it served its purpose, the vehicle would benefit from some maintenance, particularly the seats and doors. Improving these aspects would make long game drives much more comfortable and further enhance the overall guest experience.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari and would gladly recommend this experience to others. Thank you to Jackson and the entire team for making our Kenya adventure so memorable.
