  Unforgettable 6-day safari in Rwanda and Uganda - I recently completed a 6-day safari in Rwanda and Uganda as a solo traveler and photographer, and it was an experience I'll treasure for a long time.

The office... read more was excellent from the start — quick to respond to every message and very accommodating with all my customization requests. They arranged a good mix of lodges throughout the trip, and importantly, they gave me confidence and reassurance about my reserved gorilla tracking permit, which was one of the main reasons I chose this trip.

My guide, Edgar, was punctual and flexible with all my ideas along the way. One thing that really stood out: since we entered Uganda by land, I hadn't had the chance to withdraw any local currency. Edgar kindly offered to help by exchanging USD for local currency whenever I needed it — a small gesture, but one I truly appreciated.
Edgar is also a clearly experienced driver with solid knowledge of the animals in the field. His eyes were incredible — he could spot something as well-camouflaged as a monitor lizard hiding in a tree from a good distance away. It was also obvious that he's well-regarded and well-liked among the other guides.

Of course, safaris don't always go exactly as planned — there were a couple of days when the wildlife simply wasn't cooperating — but Edgar never stopped trying, doing everything he could to help us find animals.
One of my favorite memories came on the last day. We finished our activities a bit early, so Edgar organized an adhoc community visit, where I got to learn about local coffee-making and try tasting banana beer and banana gin. It was such a thoughtful addition, and I'm really grateful he took the initiative to make that happen.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable safari experience, and I'd highly recommend both the company and Edgar as a guide.

  Amazing trip with Wagatil - This was an absolute wonderful Safari with Wagatil. From the reservation with Pretty and Martin to the safari itself with George as a guide, it has been perfect.

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!
