While exploring Uganda already promises to be a lovely experience, many travelers are usually disturbed by questions about how best they can reach their preferred destinations and enjoy their safari. Uganda is around the same size as the United Kingdom, with its regions mainly connected by road hence car hire being the easiest way to get around. To know the best car to rent for your Uganda road trip, you would have to consider some factors including your preferred destination and safari activities there, number of travelers, amount of luggage, and other interest of the traveler.

If you are planning for a Uganda safari this season and looking for the best car for your trip, here is a guide to help you select a suitable rental car considering different factors.

Group tours
The best cars to rent for a group travel in Uganda include the coaster which accommodates 25-30 people if it is a big group that wants to travel in the same vehicle. Small groups can travel in safari vans which accommodate 8-14 people. These types of cars are hired with a driver.

Family trips
If you are planning to travel as a family, hire cars like the Supercustom for a guided tour or Rav4 for those looking to go for a self drive road trip. You can hire a Safari Land Cruiser if you want to travel in a luxury style that comes with extra comfort.

Camping trips
The best places to go camping in Uganda include national parks, wildlife reserves, and other natural environment. Whilst the trend for this category today is rooftop tent camping, travelers are required to hire the right car and camping gear for the adventure. The best cars for rooftop tent camping include trucks and Land cruiser Prado while those for ground camping include the Rav4 and 2 wheel vehicles. Cars suitable for rooftop camping can as well work for ground camping.
If you are planning to do self-catering on your road trip, then you need to plan for a spacious car especially if it is a long trip and you have a lot of luggage.

Budget tours
Travelers looking to travel in a small group on a tight budget can rent safari vans while small families can hire the Rav4. Safari vans accommodating up to 9 travelers allow you to share the cost of transport hence keeping your individual budget low.

Long adventures
We highly recommend renting a 4WD safari car if your trip is taking you to destinations such as Kidepo Valley national park and Ishasha where the roads are rough. The 4X4 vehicles offer a more comfortable and worry-free drive through dirt roads in addition to perfectly handling the long distances.
