5.0/5Just finished an amazing adventure with Wagatil Safaris and would highly recommend. I did a private solo trip with them for 8 days in Uganda and everything went so well. The experience with them was great from start to end. Smooth and nice communication with Pretty and Martin, who were helping me personalize my itinerary and planning, they were so nice and quick to answer any questions and very flexible to make any changes I requested and help to make the perfect trip for me. Everything was arranged and sorted so all I had to do was enjoy and take in all the incredible experiences, which made me feel very comfortable and in good safe hands. Can't praise my guide Eddie enough - he was so friendly, fun and knowledgeable and we were so lucky to see absolutely everything on the trip - from a leopard with her two cubs, tree climbing lion right next to us, gorillas with babies climbing around us - everything I ever dreamed of was ticked off the list! I did an 8 day trip which meant we were on the road most days and experiencing something new everyday, which was perfect for me as I was traveling alone and it felt like something was always happening and new things were waiting for us at every stop, but Uganda has so much to offer and experience so you won't be bored by adding even more days and activities. Thank you to Wagatil, Pretty, Martin and especially Eddie for making this trip an amazing and unforgettable adventure!

I contacted Wagatil Safaris on very short notice, only three weeks before my departure. Pretty responded immediately and prepared an itinerary for me. The communication via WhatsApp was very friendly and professional. Pretty kept updating me whenever she found alternative, better hotels or optimized the route. Whenever I had questions, I always received a very quick reply. I booked a 5-day tour through Rwanda and Uganda including hiking, Golden Monkey trekking, Gorilla trekking, and chimpanzee trekking. At my request, I spent the first day on my own in Kigali and was picked up the following morning by my driver Andrew. As a solo female traveler, I felt very comfortable and safe with him. Andrew has a very pleasant driving style, is very friendly, and explains a lot about the country and its people. I also found it really sweet that after a few days I learned that Pretty checked in with Andrew every day to make sure I was truly happy with everything. The individual excursions were perfectly organized. It was breathtaking to see the animals in the wild. The nature is incredibly beautiful and the experiences are truly unique. It was also very nice to meet Pretty in person during a dinner. I can recommend Wagatil Safaris 100% and would definitely book with them again. It was absolutely worth every penny.

From start to finish Wagatil provided our group with amazing service. Before the trip Pretty was super responsive and flexed the itinerary to suit our requests. She was also quick to support any issues during the trip. Our 12 day trip was well planned and covered many of the most beautiful sites in Uganda. We chose to add some extra days after the trip around Lake Bunyonyi, which provided us with a much needed rest before heading home. Our guide and driver was Bosco. What a legend this guy was. He had a aura of calm and control, using his extensive experience to make our trip feel seamless. Each amazing encounter we had felt like a little bit of luck combined with the mastery of Bosco's timing, eye, driving and 'string pulling' :). We always felt well taken care of and really appreciated how genuinely Bosco wanted to give us an amazing experience. He even took us to a local hot springs after our hike in the Rwenzori range, which was both relaxing and an awesome opportunity to get off the tourist track and hang out with Ugandans. Bosco was the perfect professional and a great ambassador for Uganda. The car was in great condition. The pop-out roof meant we had amazing 360 views. We had lots of room inside as well as a fridge to keep fruit and drinks cool. We will definitely be recommending Wagatil to friends and family.
