HISTORY

Simba Africa Expeditions started in 2012 by a team of ambitious, enthusiastic and energetic young people with a passion to unveil the beauty of Uganda to the rest of the world as the great pearl of Africa. These individuals had all been involved in the tourism industry of Uganda and other East African countries for more than five years. Mr. Nadduli Moses, the Managing Director, had been working as a senior driver guide for some of the most prominent tours and travel companies in Uganda. Ms. Hajarah Namugenyi with a rich sales and management background had accumulated tremendous skills and experience of e-tourism from implementing several e-tourism projects for a number of companies. The company was established to offer safari packages to tourists interested in purchasing them, first in Uganda, and later expand borders to Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and Tanzania.

VISION

To be the leader in providing quality services in terms of organizing safaris and tours in the Great Lakes region.

MISSION

To focus on what clients need and demand so as to give the best quality services through the acquisition of agents and rigorous online and offline marketing to achieve the goal of becoming a highly respected tour operator in East Africa that does not only look for the interest of business but also gives back to the local community.
