This was a once in a life time experience that unfolded before my eyes meeting all my expectations.
Very professionally booked, scheduled and performed meeting all of my expectations and more. I highly recommend Simba Africa Expeditions and I look forward to more adventures with them in the future. Rain or shine the safari was prepared for what Mother Nature through at us being well prepared at every turn. The scheduling of the days events was perfect in keeping me busy physically and mentally at every moment with a mix of fun, adventure, learning and most important relaxation at just the right time - it was a wonderful once in a life time experience from the moment I woke, through the day and once my head hit the pillow that I hope everyone will be able to take advantage of while visiting Africa. Thanks goes out to the entire team at Simba Africa Expeditions.

9 days including 2 days gorillas / 2 days chimp
wonderful experience ! came alone in Uganada for 9 days. During the negotiation time, i was in touch with Hajarah who was really reactive, replying to my email right away. Finally agreed on the trip/price, I arrived at 315 am, Tom, my guide was there, and drove straight to the chimp area (around 7 hours drive). he has been really flexible, the lodge/food were good, and i got an amazing time in Uganda. i recommend them with no hesitation.

5 day trip Bwindi / Queen Elizabeth
An amazing experience. Booked a 5 day trip with Hajarah and he was very helpful. Already from the airport pick-up I was warmly welcomed by Katie and Alex, they have done everything to make it as pleasant as possible for my trip. Nothing was too much and they even made proposals. The lodges of Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth were well cared for with excellent meals. Friendly and helpful staff. The visit to the gorillas / chimpanzee, game drive and everything else was anamazing experience in this beautiful country. Will definitely recommend Simba African Expeditions to everyone. This because of the experience and the professionalism of this tour operator. I would therefore like to thank them for making such an experience.

Excellent tour, delivered everything as promised.
I recently booked a 3 day Murchison Falls Tour and a 3 Day Gorilla Trek with Simba Africa Expeditions. The service was 5 star from the time they answered my first enquiry until the time they dropped me at the airport at the end of the tour. Hajarah answered all my emails promptly, and was happy to change details along the way to organise the perfect tour for me. The tours were everything they promised and more. The accommodation, the food, and the wildlife experiences were all better than what I was expecting, but the most amazing part of this company is it's driver/guides who look after everything for you and go out of their way to make the trip special. Jonah was my first driver/guide, he was an absolute gentleman and it was a pleasure to spend time with him. My driver/guide for Murchison was Xavier, and within an hour of him picking me up from my hotel, I no longer felt as if I was on a guided tour, but was instead travelling with a good friend. Xavier showed me everything Murchison Falls had to offer with lots of talking and laughing along the way. Thanks again Xavier, and if I ever get back to Uganda I will be sure to look you up.

Fantastic company, excellent experience in every respect, thank you Simba!
When planning a three day trip to Murchison Falls I contacted a number of companies. Immediately Simba stood out from the rest. I cannot praise Harajah enough, she was responsive and very accommodating. When there was a delay with the payment she was understanding and patient. Communications, arrangements and the company's willingness to cater for our needs meant it was a pleasure to work with Simba and our confidence in the company was rewarded.
Tom was our driver and guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, his enthusiasm, attention to detail, local knowledge and driving ability meant we got the most from our time at Murchison. We had a wonderful experience and felt very lucky to have had Tom as our guide.
We stayed at Pakuba Lodge. Having previously stayed at Paara, I preferred Pakuba being a quieter lodge, very friendly and brilliantly positioned for immediately encountering the best wildlife, in fact driving to and from the lodge were extra game drives and sitting outside our lodge we had elephants, giraffes and cobs passing by in front of us.
Thank you to Tom, Harajah and Simba for giving us a fantastic experience.

Excellent Safari
The safari was easy to schedule, easy to pay for online, and the actual event was amazing. We were a group of 10 and everything was perfect. We stayed in Murchison Falls National Park at Pakuba Safari Lodge. The accommodations were exactly what we needed for our stay. I can't say enough about George and Xavier our safari guides. They knew exactly where to go to find all the animals. They even had us wake up early so that we got the best view of the animals. We saw everything we wanted to see. We only wish we had more time.

Great guide, helpful company, personalized itinerary... Highly recommend!
SAE was nothing but helpful while I was in the planning stages of my trip. I had a very vague idea of what I'd like to do and the team directed me into a week full of amazing adventure. They took on board what I was looking for out of my trip, my style with regard to accommodation and provided a service I would use again in a heart beat. My guide, Xavier, was fantastic. He went above and beyond to ensure my week met (and surpassed) my expectations. He was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and generally a great guy.
I will use them again as and when I can return to Africa, I genuinely cant recommend them enough. Thanks so much for everything!

From every point of view a lasting experience
The nature of this country is of incredible beauty. Xavier, our guide, was the best we could have to introduce us to this beauty, very professional regarding organization, very experienced with everything related to wildlife, very open to let us look a bit deeper into the culture of his country.
He's not only doing his job, he's doing it with dedication. It was great to have him as a guide!
The lodges we slept in were very nice and particular places, we really enjoyed staying there.
The food was good, but as it seems to be usual in Uganda, in the lodges the food offered is very influenced by Indian culture. The quality of everything we tried was without any doubt very good, but I can't hide that I enjoyed very much when there was the opportunity to try also local food whilst travelling...
It's difficult to describe all the single aspects of this trip. It was a really significant experience in its whole - for everything we had the opportunity to live and see there and thanks to the excellent back ground work of organization and preparation of our tour operator.
To be honest, we just want to go back and do another trip. Can't wait for it!

GREAT
Reliable. Friendly. Fair. Best value for money.
We rented a 4-WD for 3 weeks for our self-drive tour and also all our permits for CHEX and 2 gorilla trekkings.
Hajarah took care of everything in advance. She is not only nice, her service was really great. All her support was helpful and also her advices about our tour. She always replied prompt. 100% perfect. 100% service.
Moses picked us up at the airport and he is just phantastic. The car, by the way, was brilliant as well.
All we can say is: YES- we can recommend Simba Safari Expeditions by all means.
Thank you - Simba Safari Expeditions made our Uganda tour unforgettable and phantastic

For tailor-made safari in Uganda (and beyond), Simba Africa Expedition is a perfect partner
It was a great pleasure to collaborate with Simba Africa Expeditions. Hajarah Namugenyi, our tour manager, was very responsive and supportive and met all our special requests. We book with her Gorilla tracking, Bwindi NP and Queen Elizabeth NP and can recommend her and Simba Africa Expeditions to a 100%. Thank you very much Hajarah
