Great safari experience
5/5

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. The operator was helpful and suggested a tour according to my wishes. The guide was very helpful and the tour gave me a great introduction to Rwanda. I would highly recommend it.

Gorilla tracking
5/5

It was all great from start to end!! Reachel my driver was very kind and always so happy, she shared with me everything she knew about national parks, animals, trees and uganda itself.
Gorilla tracking was amazing and the batwa walk was very interesting too.

Safe and creative pair of hands for Ugandan Safaris
5/5

Simba is very good in organising safaris in Uganda. A friend and I did a trek around Mt. Elgon after which we wanted to explore the countryside. Simba organised not only a safari around Murchison Falls and the game parks there, but also planned a very good itinerary en route to the safari from the trek at Mt. Elgon. Tony, our guide was an excellent and careful organiser and gave us an excellent experience. Sharl, the coordinator of the programme from her desk in Kampala was an efficient control room, taking care of every detail until the very end, even seeing us off to the airport.

Above and beyond what we paid for
5/5

Simba Safari offers bespoke services. From the bookings and communication with Moses (director), the entire process was flawless.

The number of activities compared to the cost was unbelievable. Arnold our driver/guide was on time, very knowledgeable and the bluetooth speaker with the bird sounds was a bonus. The two game drives we had were amazing, we saw lions, leopard, lots of elephants, antelopes, buffaloes and giraffes.

The boat cruise on the Nile in the afternoon was quite refreshing.

The biggest bonus for me/our group was the comfortable van, I recommend anyone thinking of a Safari to consider Simba Africa Expeditions.

amazing experience
5/5

I arranged everything with Sharl and she was always very kind and professional, she arranged a totally tailor made trip for us. Tom, our guide and driver, was a perfect guide and a very good and safe driver. He really loves his work and this 8 days experience around Uganda was fantastic!

Real Tailor Made Trip
5/5

A very agile company!!
We arranged everything wiht Sharl, who is a very fast email responser... LOL. She is also very kind, and we talked a lot by Whatsapp, helping to avoid any lack of information, and arranging a totally tailor made trip for my friends and I. SHE IS THE BEST.
Our guide and driver Eddie is also a very good professional and a lovely person who shared with us for 3 days his huge knowledge about world history and geopolitics, especially from East Africa.
The prices were very fair.
It was an amazing experience. I totally recommend!

Amazing safaris with amazing Simba!
5/5

Me and my family travelled around Uganda for 10 days in Aug 2019. We organized a 9 days tour (Murchison falls, Queen Elizabeth safari, Bwindi gorilla tracking) with Simba Africa Expeditions and I would totally do the same choice again. Before booking, I exchanged many (more than 70!) emails with them, asking plan changes, hotel upgrades etc , and they always replied me quickly and super super kindly (thank you again Sharl!). Tom, our guide/driver, has been the most patient and positive guide ever, always well-prepared about what we were seeing and open to any request about changes on the plan.
I would definetly recommend Simba as tour agency for the best experience in the wonderful country of Uganda!

The guide is what made the tour amazing
5/5

Simba gave me the best price for the gorilla trekking when I was first researching tour agencies. Frank was my guide and was so knowledgeable on every single animal- fuelling the inner animal science geek in me. He was also happy to answer any questions I had, however controversial, on Ugandan culture. My most favourite moments were the things that weren't scheduled: like stopping on the side of the road to buy local potatoes and watching the guide interact in the exchange.
My only request would be an opportunity to buy a small souvenir from the stalls (with guidance), more chance to try traditional food that isnt from a restaurant designed specifically for foreign tourists, and an explanation why the Batwa community walk was omitted when it was mentioned in the original schedule. I also did not need to stay in anything as lavish as what I did as a solo traveller, so if there was more options given at the begining to chose how much I wanted to spend on accommodation, that would be good too.

I would book through Simba again and request Frank, but ask to slightly alter the tour to include the above comments.

Overall, very happy customer! Would definitely like to come back and do the gorilla habitation program.
