Company Description
Simba Group is a prominent East African conglomerate headquartered in Uganda, founded in 1998 by entrepreneur Patrick Bitature and his wife, Carol. The group began with Simba Telecom, which became a leading franchisee for MTN Uganda and grew into the largest distributor of airtime and mobile devices in the country. From its origins in telecommunications, the group has evolved into a diversified business empire with a presence in Kenya and Tanzania, driven by a philosophy of identifying customer needs and delivering high-quality services across various sectors.
The group’s extensive portfolio spans several key industries, including hospitality, energy, real estate, and agriculture. In the hospitality sector, it owns and operates award-winning properties such as the Protea Hotel by Marriott Kampala and the Skyz Hotel in Naguru. Its energy arm, Electro-Maxx, established the first African-founded independent thermal power plant in Uganda, contributing significantly to the national grid. Additionally, the group is involved in large-scale farming, real estate development, and specialized services like the White Nile Waste Treatment Company, which supports the oil and gas value chain.
Beyond its commercial ventures, Simba Group is deeply committed to social impact and community development through the Patrick & Carol Bitature Foundation. This philanthropic arm spearheads initiatives like Project 500K, which aims to equip half a million Ugandan youth with vocational and entrepreneurship skills. Other social enterprises include the HER platform, which focuses on mentorship and capacity building for women, and investments in sustainable solutions like Musana Carts for street vendors. These efforts reflect the group’s broader vision of building a lasting legacy that fosters economic empowerment and environmental stewardship across the region.
