Fantastic tour with the best guide!! - What a weekend! I booked this trip quite spontaneously and I am so glad I did!!! Frederick from Simba Safaris was the best guide I could hope for. He was kind, knowledgeable, amazing at spotting the animals and knew the names and facts about all of them! He knew places with extremely good food for lunch and seemed to have friends everywhere we went which was really nice. He was very kind and took excellent care of me. I opted for the Ziwa rhino sanctuary add on and that was completely worth it too, it was very special to see these amazing animals up close. All in all I saw 4 of the Big 5 in 2 days (just missed the leopard) and saw so many other wonderful birds and animals such as hippos, antelope, crocodiles and the beautiful nature of the waterfalls, Nile River and the park. A truly unforgettable two days - thank you so much Fred (& Simba Safaris)!

Amazing Driver & Trip! - We hired Simba tours for a missions trip out near Gulu and couldn’t have been more pleased with our driver Joan and this company. Joan had so much knowledge, brought joy to our trip and gave us a great experience! Can’t wait to come back and see him again!

Wondeful experience! - This was a wonderful experience from start to finish. I had a short amount of time in the extension of a work trip, and had no idea that I would get to see and experience so much greatness in two days! I was picked up by a nice and safe driver and got to see both a beautiful and spectacular waterfall, a fantastic boat trip on the Nile (got to see many hippos, beautiful birds, elephants, crocodiles etc. - magical. The lodge I stayed at (Paraa) was nice, with great view over the Nile and great food. The safari experiences were amazing - both in the afternoon and early morning. I even got to see lions chasing a herd of buffalo and catching a calf! I was transported back to Kampala/Entebbe in good time for my flight home. Had good lunch at a place with a nice garden on the way. There are many hours in the car but there is so much to see on the way, and I felt very safe and looked after all the way. Thanks to Simba for all the arrangement and very good service!

Spectacular - We enjoyed the whole experience. Our reservation officer responded to all inquiries on time. Our guide Frank was on time and knowledgeable about the murchison falls national park. The views were spectacular. We wouldn’t ask for more.

Great Experience, Great company - This was an amazing trip! I only had 2 days to spare before heading home and was unsure if it was going to be worth it, It definitely was! Though more days would be better, I say don't hesitate to take the two day trip if that's all the time you have. There was still a huge amount of animals and birds I saw within those two days and it exceeded my expectations that were already high.
Simba Africa Expeditions was a great company to do the safari with. From the get go they had great communication before the trip and were quick to respond to any questions.
Fred my Guide/Driver was amazing too. He really made sure I got the most out of the trip and taught me not only just about wildlife and conservation but a lot about Uganda in general as well. If I'm ever back to do another tour, I will be requesting Fred for sure.
Overall I highly recommend doing a tour with Simba Africa Expeditions and even if you only do this two day trip you won't regret it.

George was the best - We had George as our tour guide and he was very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. He was always early to any of our events and knew fun facts about all of the animals we saw. He made sure we saw all the animals on our list and had the best seats for the Nile ride. I will for sure be asking for him again next time we come back to Uganda.

Amazing experience - Amazing experience.
Booked last minute and they arrange everything immediately. George, the guide was fantastic. Nice chatter for the long drive.
The tour was really nice and I was very lucky to be able to see lions. The Nile river cruise really worth it. Highly recommended.
If you are going to pay in USD cash make sure the bills are brand new. The country is very peaky with the marked, wear ones.

Unforgettable adventure. - From first contact Simba Expeditions were so professional and flexible. We asked to change the advertised schedule to our preferred schedule and within an hour I had a new schedule and quote. It was booked within 2 hours.
Tonny was our tour guide and arrived early, supported us to have everything in place to leave with everything we needed and we were on the road at the right time.
As a frequent traveller to East Africa, I do worry at times about road safety but Tonny’s driving was excellent from beginning to end and I felt safe in his care.
The game drives! Omg! On almost every occasion Tonny found the animals first and other drivers were following him or asking him for where to go.
We saw so much in two days. Three different prides of lions, including a lioness with her 1-2 week old cubs.
What I loved most about having Tonny as our guide is that while he always found the best sightings first (and we got amazing first views of the animals) he actively discouraged less experienced guides from disrupting the animals. For example, when we found the lioness and her 1-2 week old cubs, another guide started going off-road and disrupting the mother and her cubs. Tonny encouraged them to give her space and I really appreciated knowing we were in the hands of someone who respected nature.
A similar thing happened on day two. Tonny found a pride of lions first and we enjoyed watching them for 15 minutes before others arrived. When they arrived they started putting their vehicle between the mother and her 6 month old cubs and he challenged them to back away.
What the inexperienced drivers were doing was not only distressing to the pride, but was pushing them to cross the road away from all of us, when we could have all watched them more closely if they’d been patient, turned their engines off and let nature do it’s thing.
Tonny is a pro! And not only a pro but a skilled photographer. I was here with a colleague for work so we didn’t have proper cameras. Tonny took amazing photos of what we were witnessing and sent them to us afterwards.
If you’re thinking about a safari in Uganda, go with Simba Expeditions, and ask for TONNY!
