Basic itinerary elements were not delivered as agreed upon but nice overall trip
2/5

We did a 5-day safari with Simba Expeditions to Kidepo National Park in uganda. Although the trip and especially the nature were overall very nice, we encountered several issues with the tour operator, that left a bitter-sweet aftertaste.
For example, our itinerary and invoice clearly included a landcrusier vehicle but on the day of the safari we got a different car type (that was less comfortable and would usually cost less than what we paid for). When we raised the issue with Simba expeditions, the only solution they offered was to stop the trip immediately (after we have already been on the road for several hours) return to Kampala and get a full refund. Obviously, this was not an option for us, as it is impossible to organize another safari on such short notice.

Apart from a few if those issues, the trip and nature we experienced was really great.

Rwanda Uganda Gorilla Trekking
5/5

I highly recommended Simba African Expeditions. They were very responsive from the beginning and accommadatiing with any changes. Our driver and guide Jackson was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable in the history of Rwanda and well versed in the ecology of the area both Rwanda and Uganda. You'll have no regrets using Simba African Expeditions for your safari, gorilla trekking experience

First Class service from Simba!
5/5

I experienced excellent service from this Tour operator starting from my first email sent in 2019 until going on tour with them in Uganda during June 2022.
My trip to Uganda was delayed due to Covid .
Sharl who is based in the Kampala office answers your emails very promptly and is very obliging.
The 6 day safari was very well planned and everything went like clock work. George was a great guide and driver. Very knowledgeable person and interesting to listen to on local news and history and many other discussions that we had together.
My two top places I visited on tour was the Murchison Falls, both the falls and the game park as well as the Kazinga Channel at QENP.
If I had more time would like to have spent one night in the Fort Portal area to break the long trip between the two parks.
One day I would like to return to Uganda and would not hesitate to book again with this company.

Friendly Professionalism from day 1
5/5

Dealing with Simba has been an absolute pleasure. From the first exchange of emails up until the final airport drop off. Everyone was friendly, knowledgable, professional, and flexible.

My group and myself enjoyed every minute of our time in Uganda. We enjoyed all of the places we visited, and appreciated the flexibility afforded to us.

I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!

Our tour guide, Arnold, was amazing. The tour was beyond incredible. We saw every animal at the Queen Elizabeth national park (lucky enough to see 3 leopards). My first safari and we will be back to Uganda and definitely do it again.

Great safari experience

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. The operator was helpful and suggested a tour according to my wishes. The guide was very helpful and the tour gave me a great introduction to Rwanda. I would highly recommend it.

It was all great from start to end!! Reachel my driver was very kind and always so happy, she shared with me everything she knew about national parks, animals, trees and uganda itself.
Gorilla tracking was amazing and the batwa walk was very interesting too.

Safe and creative pair of hands for Ugandan Safaris
5/5

Simba is very good in organising safaris in Uganda. A friend and I did a trek around Mt. Elgon after which we wanted to explore the countryside. Simba organised not only a safari around Murchison Falls and the game parks there, but also planned a very good itinerary en route to the safari from the trek at Mt. Elgon. Tony, our guide was an excellent and careful organiser and gave us an excellent experience. Sharl, the coordinator of the programme from her desk in Kampala was an efficient control room, taking care of every detail until the very end, even seeing us off to the airport.
