An overland vehicle, also known as an off-road or adventure vehicle, is a 4×4 engineered to conquer diverse terrains, from paved roads to the most challenging natural obstacles. Its 4-wheel drive, high ground clearance, robust tires, and adaptable suspension allow it to navigate rough, flooded, and slippery surfaces with ease

If you are planning to embark on a safari in Uganda, you’ll need a strong 4×4. The majority of tourist attractions and national parks are situated in remote areas, and without an off-road vehicle, you risk a trip plagued by getting stuck, struggling with hills, and engine problems.
