4x4 Car Rentals

For self-drive excursions, having a 4×4 is essential, and we highly recommend the Land Cruiser. This recommendation stems from the fact that many roads leading to National Parks in Uganda are unpaved. Within the parks, track roads can be challenging for vehicles with low suspension. Therefore, a vehicle with higher ground clearance is advisable due to the road conditions in the National Parks. We consistently offer 4×4 vehicles equipped with automatic transmission to our travelers, as they are user-friendly. Older models are particularly adaptable on rough terrains and can be easily repaired anywhere.

Camping during a safari in Uganda is a viable option to enhance your holiday experience with a self-drive tour. By renting a 4×4 with a rooftop tent, you can enjoy one or two double tents at an affordable rate. Uganda’s National Parks feature numerous campsites where you can set up camp with a 4×4 or opt for ground camping. This experience is not only thrilling but also budget-friendly.
