 Verified Amazing safari
I went on the 2 day safari to Murchison Falls with the boat trip on the Nile with my husband. Everything from the communication before the trip began to getting dropped off was amazing. The guides Patricia and Patrick really made the whole trip great. Both were very thoughtful and accommodating the whole 2 days. Patrick’s knowledge on the game drives was amazing and he made sure we saw as much wildlife as we could in the short time we booked for. The accommodation was fantastic as well. They provided a delicious meal and at night and the morning there were elephants eating and sleeping next to our lodge. One of the staff at the accommodation even came and got us and let us see the elephant asleep. The falls were also incredible to see both from the boat and the top of them. All the restaurants we stopped at for food was amazing as well. It was really the highlight of our holiday in Uganda. You get to see so much in the 2 days, I only wish I had booked longer. We’re already planning our next trip and would definitely recommend Simba expeditions to anyone considering tours or safari in Uganda!

 Verified Amazing time with lots of baby animals
We had an amazing time on our two day safari in Mburo Lake National Park. Adam was our driver/guide and he was very knowledgeable about all the animals and the park. It is a long day of driving both to and from Kampala as it is about 5 hours each way, but very worth it to see the fun animals. Unfortunately there are very few predators in the park so we were unable to see any leopards, however, we saw many baby animals including giraffes, baboons, hippos and zebras. Our stay at the eagle's nest was wonderful with yummy food and great views. During our time parts of the grass were being burned so there was some smoke and burnt grassy areas, but it is necessary to maintain the health of the grasslands. So maybe if you can avoid August, that would be better. All in all a great trip. Can recommend as a weekend activity!

 Verified Definitely get out of Kampala and check these spots out!
Paddy & Patricia were absolutely fantastic looking after me on this luxury safari experience. The care for the customer is excellent with this company. Paddy was an absolute gent, great rapport with every company and stop we had during the trip. He looked out for me having an eggless breakfast, nothing was trouble for the team. So relaxing and fun. My highlight was seeing the giraffes and leopard & lions in Murchison and the Devil's cauldron.

 Verified 4th tour with this company and second review
It’s actually my second review for this tour operator which should already speak volumes. I’ve just returned from my fourth in Uganda with Simba and once again they delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The team truly knows how to craft seamless, exciting, and stress-free journeys. Both for trips with friends or my family. From the very first inquiry to the last day of our trip, their team was always quick to respond. Even when we had a few last-minute changes to our room bookings during the safari. They handled everything promptly. Each safari was led by knowledgeable, friendly guides who clearly love what they do. Their insights into wildlife behaviour, the parks, and local cultures added so much value to the trip. Everything was organised exactly as requested. From comfortable transportation and quality lodges (including the exact lodges and room arrangements requested by us) to well-timed transfers and game drives. When comparing options with other operators, I found Simba to be very fairly priced with no hidden fees or surprises. Their transparency and honesty in pricing made it easy to plan and budget for the trip with confidence. The payment was easy as well. They offered me payment by bank transfer or by card. Look no further if you’re planning your next safari in East Africa.

 Verified Wonderful trip to Nyungwe
We had an amazing experience traveling with Simba African Expeditions for our 5 day trip in Rwanda. Patricia answered very efficiently to all our requests and helped us customize the trip to our liking. During our trip Tonny was a great guide. He was patient, drove responsibly and made arrangements with all our activities so they went smoothly, we felt very well taken care of! During our trip we spent our time around Nyungwe national park and lake Kivu. The scenery was beautiful and with our itinerary we got to both have an active holiday with chimpanzee trekking, hiking and kayaking, as well as calmer activities like visiting a coffee plantation. Would recommend traveling with Simba Africa expeditions and Rwanda as a destination :)
