I experienced a super six day trip with Simba Africa.
Murchison Falls Park was teaming with animals. Saw every type of animal that this park has to over however wonderful to see Ugandan Cob, Jacksons Hartebeest and Oribi which we don't have in Southern Africa.
Birding was great and especially the water birds on the boat trip up stream to the falls.
We did not see as many animals in QENP as at Murchison Falls however the boat trip in the Kazinga Channel was an experience never to be forgotten. Enormous amount of Hippo, Elephants and Buffalo's. Tremendous amount of water birds.
I must thank three people who made this trip so memorable, Moses and Sharl from the office in Kampala were very accommodating with my many changes to my booking because of covid and George my driver guide who spent 6 days with me on tour was an excellent guide and driver and was always on time.

This was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever experienced. My favorite part of the expedition was taking a selfie with lions in the background. My tour guide George was very knowledgeable in every subject and also very punctual which made the expedition that more desirable. I would recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Uganda. 10/10 recommended!

Since i had 6 days as solo girl in Uganda to use, i chose Simba to plan a trip for me. And i have to say, i could not have asked for any better organisation/trip plan! My guide Tonny was the most attentive person, who really made the trip to be a once in a lifetime experience for me! With his experience, know-how, inspiration, connections and customer orientation i was able to have an amazing time in uganda! Thanks a lot Tonny. Will come back soon again! ;)

We booked a 5-day trip with Simba African Expeditions to Kidepo National Park in Uganda. Overall it was a good trip, BUT we encountered several issues with the tour operator.
For example, we did not get the type of vehicle that we paid for and that was clearly stated in the itinerary and invoice. When confronting the company with it, the only solution they offered was to cancel the entire trip (after we already hit the road) and return to Kampala.
So, make sure that you doublecheck everything before booking to not get tricked.

I spent 2 wonderful days with Abas (my driver). Victoria See, Nil, Safari, etc. Abas was a good driver and always in a good mood, polite and funny. He told me a lot of information about the country, culture, flora&fauna and answered every question. I would always book him again and spend more time with him. The trip is only recommended!

Great thanks to Tonny for his pleasant jokes and nice time he offered me during my volcanoes park and Nyungwe chimpanzees tracking.There were of course some things that could be better:for example waiting for him one hour on arrival,while I couldn't reach him on his Ugandan phone or listening to his advice to take the gorilla hike with the elderly people, instead of taking an equally long(4 hour) hike with the younger ones. The program changed at the last moment, so a lot of cultural activities got omitted and due to the program changes the lunch wasn't served. But the hotels were luxurious with rich dinner and a jungle feeling.Yet for the 5K Euros paid I would have expected impeccable service, that's why they got just 4 stars.

We visited Bwindi for a Gorilla trek, including a visit with the Batwa people. On returning to Entebbe, we visited the Ngamba Chimpanzee Refugee. Our guides and drivers through Simba were outstanding. The accommodations were excellent,as were the tours. We greatly enjoyed our tours and look forward to returning. We went on a tour to Murchison Falls with Simba last year and it was great, also

We had a 1-day sipi waterfall tour.
It was an amazing experience! We got to walk by the beautiful waterfalls, learning about the locals, trying local fruit, learning about coffee and preparing our own coffee from scratch! We then had an amazing lunch and ended the tour with the waterfall abseiling which was a once in a lifetime experience!
Sam and Ashraf are very professional guides and very knowledgeable! Also everyone was very flexible to our choices to make sure we enjoy the most!

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.

This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had a short amount of time in the extension of a work trip, and had no idea that I would get to see and experience so much greatness in two days! I was picked up by a nice and safe driver and got to see both a beautiful and spectacular waterfall, a fantastic boat trip on the Nile (got to see many hippos, beautiful birds, elephants, crocodiles etc. - magical. The lodge I stayed at (Paraa) was nice, with great view over the Nile and great food. The safari experiences were amazing - both in the afternoon and early morning. I even got to see lions chasing a herd of buffalo and catching a calf! I was transported back to Kampala/Entebbe in good time for my flight home. Had good lunch at a place with a nice garden on the way. There are many hours in the car but there is so much to see on the way, and I felt very safe and looked after all the way. Thanks to Simba for all the arrangement and very good service!
