A trip in Uganda is regarded as one of the best safari experiences in Africa. Dubbed the Pearl Of Africa by Churchill Winston- Uganda is a place blessed with numerous attractions that range from iconic wildlife species and heterogenous culture to amazing water bodies and spectacular landscapes- all these and much more offer a wide range of exciting activities that attract thousands of travelers across the globe.

However, the majority of tourist attractions can be found in the most remote regions of the country and the best wy to get there is by renting a private car. Most tourists nowadays prefer to self drive Uganda because it’s cheap, private and offers you all the freedom to drive to any destination at your own pace and time. But if you are looking for a much safer and more comfortable road trip, then we highly recommend you rent car and driver in Uganda over driving yourself.

No need to worry about fixing a mechanic issue, replacing a flat tyre, washing the car or tiring driving long distances as your personal driver got all that covered so you can concentrate on other things.
Guiding – A GPS or Google Maps App are very good routing devices but not as effective as a real human guide who has been to the majority of these places over the years. You won’t have to worry about getting lost or using a longer route when you have your driver who knows the best routes to take, shortcuts plus roads to avoid during the rainy season.
Up-to-date information– A hired driver is well-trained with adequate information about a particular attraction and activity meaning you will be getting all the latest information including history, latest events, findings and also future prospects. The online travel guides and magazines are sometime not updated hence will not give you the clear info as the driver would.
