Amazing Safari!
5/5

We had a great time at Murchison Falls. Our driver and guide, Zavier, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, fun to talk to, and accommodating. We had our 9 month old with us, and he had no problem adjusting schedules or timing to meet our personal needs. Booking the safari was also very easy. Simba never delayed in responding to our inquiries and they were easily able to tailor our activities to the desires of our group. It was an amazing outfit and I would definitely recommend them to others!

The accommodations were beautiful, safe, and we woke up to waterbucks and giraffes in the front lawn.

The tour operator did a good job. Everything was organized like we want.
5/5

We made a 4 days Murchison safari with our guide Tom. It was a great experience. Tom was avery good guide. He told us a lot about the animals Uganda and its people. In the nationalpark , he knew exactly where the animals are and so we had already seen the big five on the first day. We would book a tour again with Simba Africa Expeditions and then of course with Tom.
Thanks for the great trip

For tailor-made safari in Uganda (and beyond), Simba Africa Expedition is a perfect partner
5/5

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

GREAT
5/5

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

From every point of view a lasting experience
5/5

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 guide, helpful company, personalized itinerary... Highly recommend!
5/5

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!

Excellent Safari
5/5

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.

Fantastic company, excellent experience in every respect, thank you Simba!
5/5

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.
