Fantastic safari with gorilla tracking, lions, elephants, and more!
My husband and I had a wonderful safari with our excellent guide Tom! We spent 4 days exploring, including gorilla tracking, game drives with elephants, lion, and hyena among many other animals, and a gorgeous boat cruise on the Kazinga channel. We chose the budget accommodations and actually found the accommodations to be quite beautiful and luxurious! The food and lodges were lovely. We had a fantastic time and recommend both Simba and Tom to anyone looking for a safe and well organized safari adventure!

Top notch short safari and prompt responses from the tour operator
I was impressed with Simba office staff (Sharl) as they responded to a number of last minute changes due to the expansion of my safari group from 1 to 6 (actually combining 2 groups together). Our driver/guide Tom was great - friendly, attentive, timely and very knowledgeable about the animals, plants and many other aspects of Ugandan life as well. Only problem is it is hard to hear past the first row of seats in our safari van as we are driving. Our 3 day safari trip to Murchison Falls and a stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was just superb. The combination of 3 game drives and the 3 hour Nile cruise in a small boat gives you the opportunity to see so much wild life and experience the profound beauty of the physical landscape, especially as it appears early and late in the day. Our cruise was in a small boat and was very peaceful and informative. It's just a great combo for those without a lot of time. I have never been on a safari before but this experience certainly exceeded my expectations.

Gorilla habituation and Nkuringo walking tour.
Communication was excellent from first contact and throughout.
We chose Simba because it seemed the only suitable company for the gorilla habituation experience at Rushaga. We then added the Nkuringo walking tour as described in the Bradt Uganda guide.
Our expectations were completely fulfilled and we enjoyed our trip very much.

Amazing Tour!
I just finished a 5 day Gorilla and Chimp tour of Uganda. I am a 26 year old woman who was traveling by herself. From the very start, the communication with Simba Africa Expeditions was great. It was very easy to book through them, and when I changed my pickup/drop off destinations fairly last minute they easily accommodated. Seeing the gorillas and chimps in the wild was an unbelievable experience that I would encourage anyone to do. All the places that Simba booked for me to stay overnight were stunningly beautiful and all the meals were delicious. The best part of the tour was my guide, Tom. From the very first pickup I knew I was in good hands. He is incredibly knowledgable about Uganda and truly made an effort to always make me feel comfortable. He was a great friend along my journey! I could not recommend this tour company more.

Amazing safaris with amazing Simba!
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!

Real Tailor Made Trip
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 experience
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!

Truly outstanding safari company
Communication was always prompt! The trip itself and our guide - Arnold, were exceptional and we couldn’t have asked for better. Fully recommend planning a trip through Simba Africa Expeditions.. they are the best!
Above and beyond what we paid for
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.
