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.

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!

An Amazing 5 days in Uganda.
We spent an AMAZING 5 days with our fantastic driver and guide Alex. We trekked the gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable NP and spent some time enjoying the Wildlife in Queen Elizabeth NP as well as a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. Alex was very knowledgeable, letting us know the names of the various plants, birds and animals, as well as giving us some historical, factual and cultural information. The roads are rough in Uganda, but at no time did we ever feel compromised or unsafe. Every part of our tour was incredible. In Bwindi, we experienced a family of 16 gorillas (babies, adolescents, blackbacks and a silverback). These beautiful animals walked within a few feet of us. This was absolutely a highlight of our trip. Our time at Queen Elizabeth Park and the Kazinga Channel was also amazing. We saw tree climbing lions, kobs, vultures, elephants, baboons, water buffalo, various birds, hippos, warthogs, crocodiles and an unusual siting of a leopard. Our accommodations were excellent and the communication with Hajarah was seamless.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Outstanding!
Eddy Kizito was my driver/tour guide. He was phenomenal, he is knowledgeable, intelligent, friendly and entertaining. He made sure I was safe and visit everything described in the package. He was flexible also if there was something I’d rather do. Simba is fortunate to have him in your team! The communication with Simba was excellent. The only inconvenience I experience was with AllBookSafari, inefficient and not prompt to response. I’ll definitely use Simba again!

Thanks a lot for everything!

It was a deep impressing tour which we love to tell others.
Already at the first contact Simba understood what we were looking for. So we had an perfect package ready when we arrived. We experienced Uganda as we love and there was nothing we missed except we did not see lions or leopards. But we consider this as nature and this did not make us unhappy. As long as we asked about Country and people Tom our guide told us very much. The gorilla tour of course was the highlight. It made us very happy and silent.
So we recommend the company to everybody planning a tour to Uganda.

Excellent package and outstanding tour guide
The package was ideal for the level of sightseeing we wanted to do in Uganda. Xavier our guide was outstanding and not only was extremely helpful but also made sure that we got the experience we wanted from Uganda. The accommodation was very good, and if there were any issues with anything he made sure it was resolved before leaving us to ourselves. He also made sure we got a feel of the local markets and food stalls on the roadsides so we really experienced how the Uganda people go about their daily routines.
This is a highly recommended company if you are looking for someone to tour with in Uganda.

3 days chimp safari
The 3 days chimp safari with Simba Africa Expeditions was great. Everything was organized perfectly. The accomodation was very good and Xavier, my driver, he did a wonderful job.
Watching the chimps in the rainforest was just breathtaking. It was an Experience of a lifetime.
I highly recommend Simab Africa Expeditions.

Amazing Safari!
We had a great time at Murchison Falls. Our driver and guide, Zavier, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, fun to talk to, and accommodating. We had our 9 month old with us, and he had no problem adjusting schedules or timing to meet our personal needs. Booking the safari was also very easy. Simba never delayed in responding to our inquiries and they were easily able to tailor our activities to the desires of our group. It was an amazing outfit and I would definitely recommend them to others!
