4x4 safaris in Uganda

Aself-drive safari in Uganda requires renting a 4×4 vehicle and drive through the countryside, wilderness, to national parks and various regions to discover what Uganda has to offer. This experience allows you to engage with local people of different cultures and traditions, the wildlife, and beautiful scenery, including lakes, rivers and mountains, enabling you to create your itinerary and take breaks whenever you wish.

Uganda is defined as the pearl of Africa and is one of the most visited countries in East Africa by tourists because of its undulating wildlife. At 4×4 Car Rentals, we provide you with the ease to travel through Uganda in the best way. With our fleet, sometimes with camping gear, you will have the flexibility to stay close to the wilderness.

After that, think about visiting Kibale for chimpanzee tracking and Queen Elizabeth National Park for a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel. Explore the Ishasha sector to see the big cats lounging in the trees before heading to Bwindi for mountain gorilla tours. You may choose to unwind at Lake Bunyonyi and then return to Kampala, passing through Lake Mburo National Park, where you might catch a glimpse of elands and sunbirds. Feel free to stop at any point, allowing you to tailor your experience to your liking.

Safaris in Uganda

Scenic Views:

The breathtaking scenery of Uganda includes the longest river in Africa, the Nile River, as well as the Ruwenzori and Elgon mountains. Additionally, you can admire unique characteristics such as the snow-capped peaks and the enduring rolling hills of southwestern Uganda.

To explore Uganda fully, one needs to have two weeks and cover the most profound places. Travelling during an off-peak season will guarantee you a big discount not only on vehicle rental but also on accommodations in safari lodges. 

Accommodations.

Arrange your accommodation, whether it’s in a hotel, lodge, or campsite. Alternatively, you can opt for a 4×4 vehicle equipped with a rooftop tent for outdoor adventure travel. We offer competitive rates on camping, along with discounts for long-term rentals. Our camping tents can comfortably fit two people at a time, but the 4×4 can support two double tents, making it ideal for four campers on a self-drive trip. We also provide camping essentials such as sleeping bags, pillows, chairs, tables, a cooler box, an electric car fridge, and cooking equipment for any outdoor wildlife safari.

Book a tour in Uganda and include Gorilla tours in Bwindi and the nearby Mgahinga National Parks.

On the other hand, the Chimpanzees of Kibale Forest in western Uganda are some of the most amazing creatures to watch. Safaris to Gorillas always include these primate safaris. Queen Elizabeth National Park in the Kyambura gorge will give you the same experience, plus the nearby Kalinzu forest

FAQ

Always book the vehicle early, especially during peak season. This is because most companies get over booking in the summer. For off-peak season, even a last-minute is possible and you can win a good deal.

When travelling to Uganda on self drive trips, you must have a 4×4 car. These may be a small SUV or full SUV jeep — but it should be a 4×4. This is because some terrains are challenging, especially in the national parks. 

For as long as you all register on pick up, there is no problem of having two drivers on the rental car. However, the whole responsibility will be upon one person who should be selected at pick up. 

Key Considerations for a self-drive tour in Uganda.

Fuel Costs:
You will be responsible for covering your fuel expenses. This is because you have free mileage to cover throughout the entire time you visit Uganda.

Restricted Areas:
Although there are no restricted areas for self-driving in Uganda, a 4×4 vehicle is necessary for certain regions, such as Kidepo National Park, where there are seasonal flooded roads or Karamoja.
