Many travellers live under the illusion that only the rich can afford an African Safari. Fortunately, with MR car Rental Uganda , they are profoundly mistaken. In Uganda, you don’t need $3k to see an Gorilla.

If you are going to drive, you must think about the standards of the road network first. By East African standards, Uganda’s inter-city connecting roads are generally in good condition, and most are newly constructed

Surfaced roads diverge from Kampala, running east to Jinja, Busia, Malaba, Tororo, Mbale, and Soroti, and far east to the Kenya Border. A modern highway runs south to Entebbe, diverging southwest to Masaka, Mbarara, and Kabale. To the west, roads connect to Fort Portal, northwest to Hoima, north to Gulu, northeast to Gayaza and Kayunga (and on to Jinja).

Get behind the wheel and experience Uganda, the smiley countryside, and the vistas of the Kabale highway; a self-drive along the country’s western roads is the definitive safari road trip for locals and tourists alike. Spend a few days on a self-guided game-watching drive in Uganda’s national parks, an expedition sure to calm your nerves because it requires a bucketload of patience

Self-drive obstacles you might come across on your unguided self-drive

• Aside from unexpected potholes, the main hazard on Ugandan roads is other drivers. Minibus-taxi drivers, in particular, have long been given to overtaking on blind corners, and speed limits are universally ignored except when enforced by road conditions.

• In urban situations, particularly downtown Kampala, right of way essentially belongs to those prepared to force the issue — a considered blend of defensive driving tempered by outright assertiveness is required to get through safely without becoming too bogged down in the traffic

• As significant a threat as minibus-taxis these days are the spanking new coaches that bully their way along highway routes at up to 120km/h — keep an eye in your rear-view mirror and, if necessary, pull off the road in advance to let the loony pass. The coaches are, in reality, just a heavyweight manifestation of a more widespread road-hog mentality that characterizes Ugandan drivers.
