Renting a safari Car in Uganda can be a hassle especially if you don’t know who or where to find a reliable and affordable Car Rental company to deal with. Realm Africa Safaris™ is a reputable safari car Rental company based in Entebbe, Uganda – one with over 10 years of outfitting some of the most memorable safaris across East Africa; Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
With over 10 years of organizing safaris across East Africa, we have made mistakes that have grown us into a reliable safari car rental company. We now know which cars for instance not to use, what kind of driving experience you will need for each destination and we have made contacts of mechanics on standby to help you out whenever you get a breakdown, and most importantly we have over the years learned to encourage our clients to always consider hiring a car together with a local driver-guide for a more informational trip. The local guides we use are experienced in what they do, know their way around the destination, are good travel mates, and can be an encyclopedia to anything you might think of.
A locally guided safari experience is far better than having to lose so much time between reading a guidebook and also making time to enjoy your holiday – with a guide, you ask and he/she answers.
What is the cost of renting a safari Car in Uganda?
The cost of renting a car in Uganda revolves around four (04) things;
- Type of car.
- destination.
- Self Drive or chauffered.
- Rental period.
Type of car:
Realm Africa Safaris™ operates a fairly large fleet comprised of SUVs, sedans, and custom-made 4×4 safari vehicles. Our off-road safari cars options in Uganda range from 4×4 Station Wagons – safari land cruiser, Prado, 4×4 safari vans, super-custom safari vans, and Rav4’s, all at affordable prices.
Destination:
The price of renting a car in Uganda depends on where you intend to travel to. For Instance, the rental cost for renting and using a car around Kampala is different from what it costs to drive it to Kidepo Valley National Park.
Self Drive or chauffered:
The price of renting a car on a Self-drive basis differs from when you hire it with a driver. Our recommendation is that you consider hiring a car with a driver – the drivers are professional and know their way around Uganda and East Africa; Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. They know where to find a good restaurant, lodge, and even know where to get the car fixed in the event that you get a breakdown while on safari.
