Uganda's national parks are some of the most rewarding places in Africa to drive yourself. Here is how to plan.
Choose the right vehicle
A 4x4 such as the Land Cruiser or Hilux handles murram roads and seasonal mud much better than a sedan.
Check the weather
Roads become slippery during the rainy seasons (March–May and October–November). Leave early and avoid driving after dark.
Carry essentials
Spare tyre, jack, water, a first-aid kit and offline maps. Our vehicles come with GPS navigation on request.
