The Malcolm & Simba 4x4 Tours and Safaris experience
5/5

Thank you Malcolm (the best expeditioner and tour guide of the South of Africa) for putting together this incredible trip, from camping in the wild in Hganwe and navigating the Chobe river in Botswana to Helicopter rides and Bungee Jumping over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, we never thought we would have enjoyed such a good time, great barbecue and infinite amount of laughs. At the end of some trips you just want to go home and others you want to do them all over again, this is one of those. Thank you for everything and especially for the Malcolm Effect!

22days on 4WD trip in Namibia and Botswana gave us a chance to touch the country, people and animals
5/5

We spend excelent time on the road from Victoria falls to Namibia. That enabled us to get great experience of countries, that are wery different from Europe. We were well informed and guided by Malcolm, that knew all detailes of a local atmosphere. Trip was safe for us and services on a way met our expectations. This trip gave us an idea about our next trips , that we intend to do in this all the time surprising territory.

A+ Experience
5/5

Malcolm Van Coller is a first class proprietor. Simba 4X4 Tours and Safaris is a first class operation. I had the pleasure of visiting Africa for the first time in my life this January. I am a city dweller, from the United States; I have never even been camping! Van Coller and Simba 4X4 made my inaugural Africa experience UNFORGETTABLE. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time during my visit; even in the remote and "wild" areas. Van Coller's expertise in all things Africa and Safari journeying is plainly evident and reassuring at every turn. He also happens to be very personable and hospitable. He has a magnetic personality and truly went the extra mile on every possible occasion to make the experience special. I will never forget it. I will return to Africa. I will, moreover, rely on Van Coller's expertise and genial nature to be my guide on these subsequent journeys. Kudos to Van Coller and Simba 4X4 for a job exceptionally well done. It is my pleasure to pass this message forward about the wonderful value proposition available to all interested in visiting the REAL Africa with a REAL guide (Van Coller); and Safari operator (Simba 4X4).

A very well planned, organised and informative trip. Malcolm put a lot of effort into the trip
5/5

The tour offered much more than what I had expected. Even with a few unforeseen weather related problems the tour was run smoothly and efficiently. Every day had its interesting and exciting moments. It was definitely value for money for this unique experience. The equipment supplied was all of top quality.

Experience the Real Africa
5/5

If you're looking for a customizable, adventurous, real Africa experience, you can't go wrong with Simba 4x4 tours and safaris. Malcom took us through the backcountry of Botswana, and we had truly authentic experiences that one might not get with other operators. If you're up for self-catering and camping in the wild, I highly recommend Malcolm and Simba 4x4 tours and safaris.

An experience we could not have had without Malcolm's guidance
5/5

Simba 4x4 tours gave us an amazing introduction to Botswana. We throughly enjoyed the trip and would not have been able to do it without Malcolm. We experienced camping at its best and were able to take in the beauty of Botswana knowing that we would be well looked after. I'd definitely recommend Simba 4x4 for anyone looking for a Southern African adventure :)

Khama Rhino Sancutary, Kubu Island, CKGR, and Khutse Game Reserves
5/5

Malcolm planned a great adventure for us in the 12+ days we traveled primarily through Botswana. This was a planned "roughing it" camping trip with few amenities (Real Africa!). This was my first trip to Africa and what I learned right away was that despite the best planning there are few certainties in Africa (weather, roads, availability of diesel fuel, just to name a few). Malcolm and his comrade Siggy were able to guide us through anything that came up and we made it to all of our planned sites and we had a great time. Some of my best memories however are from the unexpected detours. If you are looking for a memorable camping experience I would strongly recommended Simba 4x4 tours. You will not be disappointed!

Great varied safari
4/5

On our month long tour we visited Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. The itinerary was varied and included lots of different, exciting activities. Ranging from a boat trip in Chobe National Park to white water rafting down the Zambezi to visiting the beautiful Epapu Falls. We had a wonderful time. Malcolm was a confident guide especially when dealing with the unexpected and a vehicle problems that we experienced.
It would have been helpful if Malcolm could have detailed the itinerary, what provisions may be needed and whether extra money needed to be withdrawn on a more daily basis. Otherwise an unforgettable experience.
