The type of car
to suit your self drive will depend on the type of journey you are undertaking.
Cars used for town running cannot manage up country journeys. This means that
journeys which are up country are majorly safaris while journeys within town
are tours. As you can use a small Japanese car like Vitz to maneuver through
the city, on the other hand you will
need a strong 4 wheel drive to be in
position to drive up country where Uganda national parks are found. This is
because the roads in town are smooth as compared to those roads which are up
country. The roads up country are dusty and not in good condition thus it is
only a power full car which in this case is a four wheel drive which will be
strong enough to make succeed in driving through these roads. Remember, when it
rains, the roads become too muddy thus small cars like Vitz which are used in
town can be used Up country.
Make it a point
that the major national parks in Uganda including Bwindi Impentratable national
park, Murchison falls national and queen Elizabeth can only be visited using a
four wheel drive. It will very interesting when you go self driving. This is
because; it will give good opportunity to interact with the local people
surrounding these national parks. You will be in position to view different
landscapes in more detailed way than when you being driven. You never get
enough time to explore all these in time.
After you have
obtained the type of car to suit you self drive in Uganda, you should then know
the procedures you get involved in while driving. In Uganda, you should keep
left and pass right. Since you are visitor in the country, you should keep in
mind that the driving procedures in Uganda is that you keep left.
You should be
also be careful about the type of transmission you are using. To up county
journeys, it is very advisable for you to get a manual transmission type of car
and for town running; any type car will work for you. Manual transmission cars
more powerful than automatic cars and since up country journeys are afar, you
will have to get a very powerful car to
be in position to reach these places and come back safely without a lot of
hustle. Keep this in mind when you are selecting the type of car for your
self-drive drive in Uganda to suit your holiday.
Some people may

holiday in Uganda. There are numerous companies in Uganda which offers cars

saloon , Toyota Corolla or Rav4 for

case will be referred to as the right because it can suit 2 travelers in case they are not driving as a
family or two adults and 2 children. If the family is large, we recommend you
