No one wants to imagine the dilemma at the time to pack for a safari. This is even trickier if it is a camping tour. If you have been on a Uganda safari and probably have a good hint on what to pack, perfect! But if this is going to be your first time and you plan to camp, make sure to pack all essentials of a camping road trip. Your packing list should include all items that might not be readily available at the camping site when you need them. When you go camping with the right gear and equipment plus everything you will need, you create a high possibility of enjoying the adventure.
Looking for quality camping rental services in Uganda? Trust us with your tour because we have expertise in arranging these adventures. We also thought it wise to share some of the essential items that will make your camping tour extraordinary.

Rooftop tent
Rooftop camping on the traveler’s car has become a popular travel adventure across the world and you can enjoy it in Uganda too. Spice up your Uganda safari by renting a car with a rooftop tent to enjoy this user-friendly option. It is safe, convenient and easy to set up on arrival at your destination especially if you are already traveling with it on the rooftop. Unlike a dome tent, a rooftop tent is less distracted by rain in the night. If you are traveling on a tight budget, you can opt for a dome tent and be mindful about the best time to travel.
Cooler box
Whether it is a dry or wet season and you are traversing Uganda, some days may be excessively hot and you are far better off taking cold water and beverages. Make sure to stock enough drinks whenever you get a chance to shop at stores and fill the cooler box each morning with ice and drinks to keep them cool. We recommended Rwenzori for bottled water in Uganda.
Camping chairs and table
After a long drive, all you want is to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature, the scenery and your self-catered meal. Consider traveling with portable chairs and a table where you will sit back and enjoy all these. You could perhaps pull out your computer and put together some work regarding the travel experience and camping adventure.
Lantern lamp
There are designated campsites in Uganda in hotel/lodge gardens, forest reserves and national parks. A lantern lamp or strong torch is essential if you are camping in a national park or forest reserve. It will help you light up your way during any movements or any other work at night.
Gas cylinder and kitchenware
If you are planning for a self-catering camping safari, include a gas cylinder on the items you want your tour operator to prepare for you. Other cooking items that come in handy with this and catering in general are saucepans, a kettle, cups, plates, a frying pan, saucepan cover plus cutlery. Don’t forget to carry a small jerrycan that will help you have water aside while cooking and remember that you will do nothing in regards to cooking without a match box or lighter.
Note: If you are planning to carry camping gear and equipment from home, then you will bring the lightest available. Most of the above items will be hired in Uganda if you are going for a planned Uganda safari.
