Simba Safari Camp, renowned for excellent hospitality, is nestled atop a hill overlooking Lake Kikorongo on the edge of Uganda’s most popular Queen Elizabeth National Park, with panoramic views across the park’s extensive savannah plains teeming with wildlife as well as Lakes, George and Edward, as well as the famed Kazinga Channel.
It is the closest accommodation to the Park’s famous Kasenyi plains on the edge of Lake George, the famed mating grounds for the Uganda Kobs and thus the most preferred area for game viewing drives. It is also closest to the other areas of northern Queen Elizabeth National Park, including the Mweya Peninsula and the Kazinga Channel; well known for launch cruises, close range game-viewing as well as bird-viewing. There is also an opportunity to go for guided chimpanzees tracking in the Kyambura Gorge.
Guest accommodation comprises 9 Twin/Double Rooms and 2 Triple Rooms all en-suite, 2 Family Cottages each with two bedrooms (one King and one Twin), a common living room, one extra bed and a shared bathroom for all as well as 3 Dormitory rooms with 3, 5 and 10 double-decker beds all with shared/common bathroom facilities and a private camp site (guests please bring own camping equipment).
Rooms also have wall fans for warmer days, lounge seat, a verandah with two ‘directors’ canvas chairs’ and clothing rack, all beds fitted with a mosquito net as well as consistent hot and cold showers.
