A Uganda road trip is on many travelers’ wish list. Drive down legendary highways in a classic Toyota Land Cruiser or Landover, drive through the hills of Kisoro, or take a food and drink tour of Uganda in a Safari Land Cruiser. With beautiful ever-changing landscapes, amazing attractions and cozy towns and villages, Uganda has everything you need for the perfect road trip.
If you want to drive a car, you should first think about the standards of the road network. By East African standards, roads between Ugandan cities are generally in good condition and most are newly constructed.
We recommend choosing a self-drive safari during your stay in Uganda. This compact country has relatively short distances, and accommodation options ranging from national parks and campgrounds to luxury lodges are perfect for road trippers. Most importantly, our self-drive safari offers flexibility in your itinerary so you can make the most of your time on site.
For nature lovers, there is a list of BIG 5, primates and countless mammals and birds. For culture lovers, there are country houses, communities and villages that have remained untouched by modernization. For those who love to drive through open countryside, the road winds through vast plantations and over dramatic mountain passes.
