There will be a communication device in the hand of every East African ...

...which will connect people, improve livelihoods and provide information to everyone.

Our Mission:

What do we do?

At Simba, we believe that communication is a right, not a luxury. We have been working hard since the Mobile industry began in East Africa to help make this dream become a reality. We are the largest distributor of airtime in East Africa, working with the biggest network in Uganda (MTN), Kenya (Safaricom) and Tanzania (Vodacom). We also are one of the largest retailers in East Africa with over 100 retail outlets and are partnered with Nokia to sell high quality mobile phones. Our consistent dedication to the growth of the industry has put us in the undeniable position of being ‘The Lion in Wireless’
