Simba Safari Camp

Southwestern Uganda


Just outside the northern sector of the park, Simba is a good budget camp popular with many tour groups. Rooms are spotless with canopy beds and stone-floor showers. It has a social restaurant/bar and is in a convenient location for Kasenyi game drives. At the time of writing they were renovating and adding a new sector of upmarket lodgings.

To get here by public transport, take any bus from Kampala heading to Bwera and ask to be dropped off at Simba.
