Best Cars to use on a Uganda Safari

Have you ever traveled to Africa, particularly Uganda? Or have you ever hired a vehicle from a 4×4 Uganda car hire agency? If not, it’s high time you booked your safari with us in our self-drive vehicle.

Uganda is one of the best countries to go on safari. This is due to several adventurous activities done in Uganda, which involve sightseeing, game drives, gorilla and primate trekking, forest walks, launch cruises, birding, and also spending overnights in tents and lodges deep in remote areas. It gives you a true experience on an African safari, particularly in Uganda.

It should be noted that most of Uganda’s tourist attractions are located in very remote areas at times making access a bit very difficult so it needs a good experience and trained driver to reach these some of the very difficult-to-reach areas of Uganda which are gifted with nice-to-see attractions. However, this can be very possible with our well-serviced 4×4 vehicles that can handle Uganda’s tough roads more so in the remote villages and parks.

If you need a complete safari, our tour operator can organize one for you, or if you just need to hire from us a vehicle with or without a driver still it’s very okay we have trusted comfortable cars for hire of all types. Contact us at Uganda Self Drive and we will get back to you as soon as possible. To have a wonderful safari, you are recommended to choose the right car that suits your budget plus the number of people you’re traveling with.

For one or two travelers a Toyota Rav 4 is good, however, the most suitable cars include a safari minivan and a safari land cruiser are the best to use. You are always advised to choose the best car that fits the number of people you are traveling with and the tourist destination, for a big group of about 7-10 a safari van is very suitable it has a popup roof which provides a clear view also suitable during a game drive as you will be in position to view various animals from a far distance and also it makes photography so easy. This kind of vehicle has an air conditioner, adequate seat row space, and a good space for cargo; once you book this car with us a discounted rate can be offered. The price for the safari minibus in Uganda ranges from 90 to 120 per day but excludes gas/fuel.

A Toyota safari land cruiser is also recommended when on a safari to Uganda’s remote national parks, since most of the roads leading you to remote areas of Uganda are tough this vehicle is highly recommended to be used, you can hire it with a driver or without a driver. It can accommodate up to 8 people including a driver; it’s regarded as the most comfortable and suitable car for rough roads and camping safaris.

It’s well equipped with an air-conditioner, in-built fridge, pop-up roof, First kit, 2 spare tires with a good space for luggage. It has a 35-inch big tyre which allows navigating muddy marram roads in the villages plus tough terrain of the parks. It can access any corner of Uganda with a lot of ease including crossing borders. We have many of this kind, Hiring this car can go to USD 170 per day with a driver or at USD 150 per day without a driver without fuel.

Most Ugandan parks are located in the south-western part of Uganda including Kibale Forest National Park, Bwindi National Park, Lake Mburo National Park, Semuliki N.P. Lake Bunyonyi, Mgahinga Forest National Park, Queen Elizabeth N.P, other Uganda parks include Kidepo Valley National in the far northern part of Uganda, Murchison Falls National Park in the Northeastern part of Uganda, Rwenzori Mountain and Mount Elgon both located in the eastern part of Uganda.

All these Uganda parks alongside other attractions in the remote areas can be well explored in a customized 4×4 safari car. Whether you want to rent a car with a driver or without, there are plenty of them at a very fair and friendly price.
