    Great company to rent a 4x4 in Uganda. We always self-drive but if you have the chance to get a driver-guide like Cato (Moses) don’t hesitate to hire him. He made our roadtrip in Uganda unforgettable. His great mood, willingness to help and knowledge of the country definitely make a huge difference to get the most of the Pear of Africa Naturally, culturally and people speaking! Thanks Cato and Roadtrip for such an amazing trip

    We had the most amazing trip through Uganda organized by Roadtrip Africa. We rented a RAV4 which is small but very capable to tackle the dirt roads, also all accommodations where great and all had beautiful views. Last but not least, we decided to go for the driver/guide option and our guide Frank was very knowledgeable and super friendly! Maybe we'll be back next year to see the north! :)

    A 2-week self-drive adventure through Uganda We booked our 2-week-trip to Uganda via Roadtrip Africa who not only provided a rental car but also planned and organized the whole itinerary for our self-drive adventure. Right from the start the communication with Okke from Roadtrip was fantastic: He was very reliable, specific, helpful, uncomplicated and his answers to our many questions came very fast and were always on the point. The itinerary that Okke created for us was perfect. All accommodations fit exactly to our needs and wishes as well as our budget! They were all very clean, beautifully located, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was always delicious. The lodges were the perfect starting point for our various adventures like Gorilla and Chimp tracking, boat cruises or game drives. The reservation of these accommodations as well as the permits for the Gorillas and Chimpanzees were arranged by Roadtrip in advance and everything went well. Every time we arrived at our destinations after a long day of driving, we were already expected and welcomed warmly with a cool drink  Our rental car, a Toyota RAV4 called “Liam”, was our constant companion on the trip through Uganda that brought us everywhere safely. We had no problems whatsoever with the car. The 4WD worked reliably, even on the most difficult streets. Being a very small car with a strong engine, it was even easier to drive Liam through the more remote areas close to the national parks. All in all, we can definitely recommend Roadtrip Africa, not only as a car rental agency but as a helpful and trustworthy partner for planning and realizing an adventurous holiday through the “Pearl of Africa”.

    The best way to explore Uganda, our road trip was incredible! Uganda is perfectly suited for a self drive adventure. We roughly followed the 12 day itinerary as described on the (excellent) website. The highway infrastructure was great. Besides some rough patches (and the never ending speed bumps), almost on par with average European roads. Off the highways is a different story: gravel, sand, rock and dirt roads galore - but that is an adventure in itself! Before you know it, you'll drive like a Ugandan, which is a compliment: we barely saw any accidents, and traffic seemed like an organic, consciousness being, with its own sentience. We never felt unsafe in Ugandan traffic (or at all, for that matter). Self driving is absolutely doable. The car (classic Landcruiser, living the dream) was great. Not all powerful, but it felt like driving an indestructible beast. The rooftop tent was good. If we could go again tomorrow, we absolutely would! Have fun planning your adventures, don't forget to support the local communities and think about where you spend your money. Uganda is an incredible country, with friendly and beautiful people.

    Driving your own car through the pearl of Africa is simply a wonderful experience! The magnificent national parks, people, wildlife, lodges, bush camps, views and Kampala city life all add up to unforgettable memories. Don't hesitate, but do it! You won't regret it.

Nice and helpful service absolutely recommendable. (Original) Hab hier einen Wagen gemietet, um Uganda auf eigene Faust zu erkunden.

    We reserved the vehicle prior to arriving and had good, fast communication with the staff. We were able to pay online which was convenient, although there is a fee. Pickup and drop off were super convenient and they arrived when we asked them to. The vehicle performed well and got surprisingly good gas mileage. We had a problem with the previous renter not paying a parking fee in one city and we had to pay it. Road trip refunded the cost of everything.

    My buddy and I used these guys for a rental car to drive Uganda in January of 2018. They are top notch! I am from the US and have always had a driver when I went to Uganda and wasn't sure what to expect from renting a car in Uganda. Honestly, this was one of the best rental car experiences I've ever had anywhere in the world! The car ran great and we had no problems. They delivered the car on time and were there for pick up on time. I literally do not have one negative thing to say about these guys! We are going back this summer and will without a doubt be using them again. Thank you Road Trip Uganda for being awesome! Keep up the good work! -Ronnie Kinsey

    Very good organization for renting self-driving vehicles. Good communication. Vehicles but not new! But sufficient for Uganda. We were very satisfied

  • 5/5 Stefan K. 1 month ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    We asked “Roadtrip Africa” for a Land Cruiser with a roof tent for 17 days in Uganda because of the very good homepage and the good reviews. The questions (also regarding the planned travel route to the northeast) were all answered quickly and in detail. The older car was technically in good condition and reliably drove us over 2,500 km in the northeast to the border of South Sudan and in the southwest to the borders of Congo and Uganda. It is estimated that more than half of the route was unpaved paths/slopes. Shortly before the end of our tour, a leaf spring broke on a really bad track about 5 km before the ferry from Buwaya to Entebbe. We were able to continue driving slowly. We reported the damage via WhatsApp at 7 p.m. At 7:15 p.m. they offered to pick us up. Since we had already set up our roof tent, we didn't do it. The next morning two employees met us at the ferry in a similarly equipped Land Cruiser. We reloaded our luggage - done. Everything was uncomplicated and professional. It couldn't be better! We heard true horror stories on our tour from other self-drivers (who you don't meet often) who had rented their vehicles from other providers. We can fully recommend “Roadtrip Africa”!

    We had a wonderful trip through Uganda with Roadtrip Africa at the end of November 23. Great, very individual lodges with a somewhat outdated Toyota without a driver was an adventure that worked well all around. The service from Okke was wonderful: I had left my power bank at the Rhino farm and only noticed it after I left... a short email to Okke and the farm was enough: Okke was in Kampala in January Brought them home to the Netherlands and sent them to me by post in Munich. It couldn't be better! Again, my heartfelt thanks!

  • 5/5 mario s. 2 years ago on Google
    Roadtrip Africa was the perfect choice for our road trip through Uganda. We rented a 4 wheel camper from them and they also helped us getting the permits for the gorilla trekking. We can honestly recommend Roadtrip Africa for the perfect Uganda adventure experience!

  • 5/5 Petr �. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a really fabulous time in Uganda and the car itself was free of defects. Despite the lockdown everything went smoothly and we encountered no issues at all. If we ever go to East Africa again I will definitely opt for RoadTripAfrica!

  • 5/5 JV I. 2 years ago on Google
    Best experience ever! Uganda is unexpectedly accessible, especially when self-driving. We've been on the road for six weeks and the support we got from Roadtrip Uganda was impeccable. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Leo van der B. 6 years ago on Google
    Beautiful self drive trip through Uganda. Nicely planned & organised by RoadTrip Uganda. Nice lodges and tented camps, a lot of wildlife and of course the majestic Gorilla's and friendly people everywhere ... We had a great time !

  • 5/5 Erik Alonso C. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely the best company to rent a car with in East Africa. Always in contact with you, solving your doubts and difficulties and giving you all the facilities possible. I am 20 years old and I made a two week trip alone and they didn't give me any inconvenience. Moreover, the car did not give me a single problem in the almost 2000 km that I drove with it (even though the roads in Africa are not always the best). I recommend renting the camping equipment, it seems to me a gift everything they equip you with, so that you don't need anything during your trip. I will definitely repeat with them.

  • 5/5 shannon b. 4 months ago on Google
    Our trip to Uganda exceeded all expectations many thanks to Roadtrip Africa. I had originally booked our trip in 2020 and had to reschedule sevral times. Okke, Marin and Robin were soooo patient with my many changes in dates and itineraries that added up to probably 50 emails. They booked our chimp and gorilla trekking permits so had to reschedule those with the UWA as well. We booked a troopy with a driver for 14 days. Our driver Josh truly made our trip amazing. Uganda is an incredible country that is not to be missed.

  • 5/5 Filip B. 2 years ago on Google
    Uganda is a wonderful country worth the visit, with friendly people and beautiful nature and wildlife. Thanks to RoadTrip Uganda we spent a wonderful week that met all our expactations. We cannot recommend enough this company.

  • 5/5 kirsty m. 2 years ago on Google
    We would 100% recommend hiring a car for self-drive in Uganda, and going through Roadtrip! We hired a 3 door RAV4 for a 5 day trip from Kampala to the south west of Uganda. Hiring a car was the best decision we made! It absolutely made our trip to be able to self-drive as it allowed us to go off the beaten track and explore some real gems and hidden places. Roadtrip were amazing right from the start. We made a very last minute booking and they delivered the car really quickly. Communication was excellent throughout our trip, including when we extended the hire because we were having too much fun! The staff were so friendly and responsive, it was just an all round great experience. Thank you so much Marin & Julius! We really hope to be back one day soon.

  • 5/5 Cyrill M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a fantastic time in Uganda. Everything went very smooth as the trip was very well organized and planned. Roadtrip Africa made the preparations for the trip very easy as they provide you with all the needed information and they are very flexible on how you would like to arrange your trip. There are so many options and they always reply very quick if you have any questions or would like to make a change on the itinerary proposal. Furthermore their drivers are so friendly and well trained. They are great guides at the same time as their knowledge about Uganda and the animals is huge. I would defenitely recommand Roadtrip Africa and hope to book another trip with them in the future.

  • 4/5 Bert B. 2 years ago on Google
    Good car rental company. However, the car we got was really old and we had 2 mechnical breakdowns in one week. Would be good to have a more recent car next time.

  • 4/5 Liesel81 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, car was in good shape. Pick up and drop off was smooth.Got good advice on the number of days required for the trip I had in mind. Only issue I had was the payment and booking, it was a bit too complicated than necessary but I totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 2 years ago on Google
    True 5-star experience with Roadtrip Uganda and driver Innocent! I was in Uganda on a business trip and decided on very short notice to combine it with some vacation over the Easter weekend. I reached out to Roadtrip Uganda at 2pm to ask if they could provide a car and a driver already for the next morning - and to my surprise, they responded immediately confirming that they could! And indeed, 8am the next morning the driver, Innocent, was waiting for me in the hotel lobby. He drove me to my final business meetings in Northern Uganda and then onwards to Murchison Falls NP, where we did several game drives, before returning to Entebbe. Innocent was a perfect driver, very safe and driving defensively, especially in the rain. I also very much liked that he never talked on the phone while driving, but instead pulled over if his phone rang. I always felt 100% comfortable and safe in the car with him. He was also always on time and ensured that we got to our destination on time. But more importantly, Innocent turned out to be a super nice guy and we had some really nice conversations while driving through the Ugandan countryside and listening to great African tunes. It was great to learn a bit about him and life in Uganda. He also turned out to be a surprisingly knowledgeable guide in Murchison Falls NP. He clearly knew the park well and knew where to go to see the animals, and were able to share genuinely interesting facts about them (I’m still very impressed about how he knew ALL the birds in the park). There was absolutely no need for a ranger in the park, and driving around with just Innocent made for a much more private and “exclusive” experience. He was also able to give great recommendations on what to do as I had not planned any activities at all - the chimp tracking in Budongo Forest especially stood out as one of the coolest things I’ve ever done! What I liked the most however was that Innocent was able to take me away from the tourist track, to e.g get food at some real local places along the way that I would have never been able to find on my own. The matoke and goat we had in the park was absolutely delicious as were the ribs in Entebbe. While the safari experience definitely was great, it’s these small but real insights into Uganda that will stay with me from the trip. We had the small RAV-4 for the trip, it was in great condition, there were no issues with the car at all and it was more than adequate for the game drives in Murchison. Thank you to Roadtrip Uganda and Innocent for turning a boring business trip into a truly memorable experience!

    We rented a Landcruiser 4x4 with Roof Tent and camping gear for a 10 days self driving safari from Roadtrip Africa. The communication from Germany by E-Mail was excellent. We received the offer immediately according to all our wishes. In addition we received many helpful information to plan a self driving trip in Tanzania. The car we got later in Arusha met our expectations. A robust Toyota Landcruiser with a top roof tent (almost new) and camping equipment that looked a little bit outdated but was okay for the 10 days camping safari. We had a direct contact person in Arusha for any questions we had and help we needed. We had two breakdowns with the car which can happen in such environment. Our contact in Arusha was always reachable and responsive. Such problems were solved within 1,5 hours each. Perfect! Responsiveness, sense of urgency and friendliness were perfect. We would always rent a car again from Roadtrip Africa. I recommend to everybody who is interested to rent a Toyota Landcruiser, the most reliable car and well known in that part of Africa. If there is any trouble with the car, there can be find mechanics used to repair such a car in every part of Tanzania.

    People from Roadtrip are very reliable and they help a lot with the trip preparations and itinerary. I rented a car now in Uganda and it was a great lad cruiser with a open roof. All the best!

  • 5/5 Annika 1 year ago on Google
    We were two women traveling alone and rented a car and a driver guide in Uganda. The service provided by the office team was excellent. They were veryy responsive and supportive and also offer competitive prices. What made all the difference though was our driver guide Ivan. He explained so much, and we would never have understood what we were seeing without his insightful explanations. Ivan was very knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent driver. His services were outstanding and he made us feel safe at all times. I highly recommend travelling in Uganda, using Roadtrip Uganda, and traveling with a driver guide (particularly Ivan) as this makes all the difference.

  • 5/5 David G. 1 year ago on Google
    We rented a self-drive Rav4 for two weeks from Roadtrip Uganda, and also arranged our chimp and gorilla trekking permits through them. Our trip was last minute but they were able to accommodate everything we needed at short notice. The car pickup was quick, the car was in good condition and served us well on our whole trip. We shopped around and 4x4 rental prices seem fairly standardised in Uganda. Definitely recommend working with this team.

  • 5/5 Ikram L. 10 months ago on Google
    Simply the best driving company ever! Luke helped us to visit Uganda during two weeks and it is definitely the best trip of our lives. Thanks to Luke and his dedication all along this trip, it was perfect; he gave all his energy to make it unforgettable. Thanks again

  • 5/5 Jonas S. 11 months ago on Google
    We have booked with Roadtrip Uganda twice now, I can only recommend them. Julius and the team are really friendly and helpful. When there are issues, they are super fast and pragmatic to find a solution. The RAVs we booked where a bit old but in great condition and were very reliable. Exactly what you need for a safari.

  • 5/5 Melanie E. 1 year ago on Google
    We planned our Roadtrip in Uganda with them and everything was amazing. We got a Toyota Hilux with rooftop tent and the plan was that we will drive by our own. After arriving we do not feel so good with such a big car and Roadtrip Africa organised us a private driver within 2 hours. We are very happy that we had such a great travel Agency that helped us in that situation. We had a wonderful time in Uganda and the planned route and lodges were amazing. Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 Bratan H. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent customer support. Very service-oriented. The car was in an outstanding condition and drove way better than the (more expensive) car some friends rented from a competitor. This was our second time with Roadtrip Africa Uganda and we will rent a car there again when we return.

  • 5/5 Geo P. 6 months ago on Google
    We took a self driving trip in Uganda and Rwanda planned by Roadtrip Africa. The experience was amazing and everything well planned. The election of lodges and activities exceeded our expectations. When issues arised during the trip, the team quickly took care of everything. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Irene 6 months ago on Google
    Special thank you to our guide Trevor who was the best. He helped us at all times since the beginning of the trip until the last minute. He was really caring and helpful. Thanks to him we got to see many animals that otherwise we would not have noticed. He is very talented and a great driver. He was always on time and ready to take us on a new adventure. He also helped us at the national parks and talked to the staff if necessary (we were traveling with a disabled person who needed some times special requests and attentions). We will always be thankful for all his help. Hopefully we can meet again soon! BONGA! Regarding the car, it was all perfect. We did not have any problems on our trip with the vehicle. Our driver was experienced and knew how to start it even when the weather didn’t help and the batteries were low. We will 100% recommend it. Until next time! 😀

  • 5/5 Sunk In D. 4 months ago on Google
    We rented with them for 16 days. We reserved the gorillas with them. We got the rav4 3 doors (white - number 3) on entebbe airport. We went to Rwanda with it. We did more than 2300km with it. Very good wheels. It took us for paths that we could not believe that it will arrive to pass. It's a super car! Slowly we fall in love with this car. We had a problem with the car after some extreme use, the 4x4 couldn't be disengaged when turning the wheels. We were in Murchison, in red chilly camp. We wrote Julius at 5pm, at 5:30pm we had a mechanic in our camp, at 6pm the car was being revised in the garage, at 7pm the mechanic called the company explaining what happened with the car. Julius told me that we will be receiving a new car early in the morning for our game drive. At 6am the car was in our camp. Amazing! No extra charges. We saw in Murchison a car from another company. The 5 wheels were terrible, the direction wasn't straight and the company didn't want to replace the car, the security of the drivers were truly in risk. If you reserve RoadTrip and 4x4 are the best in Uganda. Thank you for this amazing experience! Thank you for your attention

    (Translated by Google) It is a fantastic way to make the trip for free, also cheaper. I recommend hiring a driver / guide, to enjoy 100%, so you won't have to worry. My experience with Roadtrip has been very good. If you want, the gorillas permits are managed with a commission, but it's worth it. Uganda is a very highly recommended country! (Original) Es una manera fantástica de hacer el viaje por libre, además más económica . Recomiendo contratar un chofer/guía, para disfrutar 100%, así no tendrás que preocuparte.

Beautiful country and mighty adventure !! (Original) Makkelijk en goed geregeld en inclusief verzekering. Autoconditie is ok en wegservice bij pech niet fantastisch( Engelse jongen was door Roadtrip naar achterbuurt gestuurd en voelde zich erg onveilig ) wij verder geen gekke dingen meegemaakt gelukkig maar verwacht er niet te veel van.. verder zijn tijden bij de routes op de site heeeel krap en ben je dikwijls 2-3 uur langer onderweg.

    Wow, what a trip! Thanks for everything Roadtrip Uganda. It was my first time in Africa and me and my girlfriend did not know what to expect of Uganda. However I had met Bram and Emmy from Roadtrip Uganda before and figured out that if they live in Uganda it has to be a pretty chilled out place. Uganda went beyond our expectations, such a beautiful place and everybody is extremely friendly and helpful. The reason we enjoyed this trip to the max is because we had our own car and we were capable of camping in all the national parks ourselves. It was very easy to arrange with Roadtrip Uganda to have the jeep dropped of at the point where we wanted to start our trip. The staff is really friendly and the car was in great conditions. At some stage of our trip we got a flat tire. It was really nice that Bram managed to help us over the phone. Roadtrip Kenia, here we come :).

    Roadtrip Uganda most definitely made our trip very special! We booked a really nice 4x4 Landcruiser with a rooftent, which was in good condition and had on board all the camping equipment you need. With our car (called Shafiq) we drove through the most beautiful nature and remote places. The service and car assistance was great and our man Julius was directly available. We would recommend Roadtrip Uganda to everyone!

  • 5/5 Paul B. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good service. They were quick to answer requests, and replied with lots of practical detail. We completed our vacation in Uganda last week, and had a wonderful two weeks. We rented a stretced Landcruiser with safari roof, and with driver (Steven Mwanje), who provided excellent driving and guiding. We did Murchison Falls NP, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Mgahinga NP (gorillas), Kigali (Rwanda), Lake Bunyonyi, and Queen Elizabeth NP. We were very happy with quality and price levels of Roadtrip Africa, and would happily use them again.

    Professional and reliable company. First of all the guys of the customer service are very quick to answer in detail all your emails. We rented a Land Cruiser with the roof top tent and everything was perfect. From the car to the camping equipment they provided us with. You won't miss anything at all. They also provided us with the Bradt guide which was way better than our Lonely Planet one. Absolutely recommend! What else can I add.. just thank you guys once again! Uganda is a beautiful country!

  • 5/5 Doutzen W. 4 years ago on Google
    We were looking for an adventure, and that’s what we got! Me and my partner have done a lot of camping and hiking in Europe and we’ve always wanted to do a road trip in Africa. After a recommendation from a friend who had traveled with Roadtrip Uganda some years before, we booked a two weeks trip to Uganda (following Uganda’s Finest route). We went with the Landcruiser and roof tent and we were surprised how many times we got to use it! Many of the lodges in Uganda have campsites so we could enjoy the camping experience but with a good breakfast with a view. A highlight for us was definitely the walking safari in Lake Mburo, with a very ‘Lion King’ feel. This is where we felt the most that we were in the true wilderness of Africa, with no people around, exactly what we came to find… The car was in great condition, strong like an oxe, and the communication prior to our trip was excellent. prompt and helpful replies to our questions. Thank you Roadtrip Uganda!

    (Translated by Google) Made a tour of Uganda with our family for three weeks. We have chosen to rent a stretched land cruiser from Roadtrip Africa. A stretched land cruiser is ideal for game drives because the rooftop can then be opened. Our driver Ali was worth its weight in gold! Our two sons enjoyed chatting with him in English and he provided a wealth of information about the culture, land and wildlife. He also arranged excursions in consultation with us and gave us tips. I had booked the accommodations myself in advance via email. It's a bit of work, but it saves you a lot of money and you can decide on your own. Most accommodation programs use 'pay on arrival.' We found the accommodations of Nature Lodges particularly successful (Fort Murchisson, Kibale Forest Camp and certainly the Bush Camp). You spend the night in comfortable tents (glamping!). Highlights were too many to mention. But our sons loved the rhinos, the rafting and the chimptrack. Traveling through Uganda this way is great! We have experienced the contact with Roadtrip Africa as very pleasant. They gave good advice and responded adequately via email. Recommended!

Hoogtepunten waren er teveel om op te noemen. Maar de neushoorns, het raften en de chimptrack vonden onze zonen geweldig. Op deze manier door Oeganda reizen is super! Het contact met Roadtrip Africa hebben wij als heel prettig ervaren. Ze gaven goed advies en reageerden adequaat via de mail. Een aanrader!

    Roadtrip, you are the best! You really need a car to see Uganda. It is a beautiful country and I am glad I came there. We had some problems with the road, never with the car and you helped us instantly. I am very grateful for your help and support. Great company, but firstly ... great people. I wish you all the best and thank you!

    (Translated by Google) Rented a 4 wheel drive from Roadtrip Uganda for a two week tour. Everything perfectly arranged, no problems with the car and good service with return. Easy contact with the office. Important: the police regularly check en route from Kampala to Lake Bunyoni and give high fines, which you can then pay off with about 25% cash. Recommended: Pumba cotteges at Queen Elisabeth National Park (Original) Voor een rondreis van twee weken een 4 wheel drive gehuurd van Roadtrip Uganda. Alles perfect geregeld, geen problemen gehad met de auto en goede service met terugbrengen. Makkelijk contact met kantoor. Belangrijk: de politie controleert en op route van Kampala richting Lake Bunyoni heel regelmatig en geeft hoge boetes, die je vervolgens met ongeveer 25% cash kan afbetalen. Aanrader: Pumba cotteges bij Queen Elisabeth National Park

    Visiting this office is always amazing. The car rental fleet is awesome and the response to client problems is always on time. I can't stop hiring well maintained cars from Roadtrip Uganda and I must say if your planning a self drive trip to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar..... this is your real deal. Clean and affordable camp gear that makes you feel like you camping in your own bed!.... Highly reccommend it to anyone planning a self drive or guided trip around Africa!

    We had a 2 weeks self drive Roadtrip with Roadtrip Uganda. Everything was well organized by them (Gorilla permits, Lodges, ...). The car was delivered on time and reliable. Super friendly communication. We would always travel again with them. Thank you!

    Mindblowing experience thank you guys! 1400kms, 9 days. We took one of their big boys on a 9 days adventure all the way to see the Gorillas in Bwindi stopping and camping at every national park on the way. We drove our own Safaris too. We did not have any issues with our Jeep!

    We enjoyed a really memorable trip booked through RoadTrip Uganda, and thought we got a very good deal on solid lodging. The people were so friendly, the places we stayed were of amazing value, and the food was excellent. It is a beautiful country well worth the trip, despite the primitive nature of tourist infrastructure (yes, even for Africa). The ease of booking everything through RoadTrip made for a very smooth trip. The booking process was easy and everything was well arranged with all of the hotels. During and after the booking process, emails were answered promptly. The employees we spoke with were all super friendly. [Note: I wrote this review during our trip in 2016 but recently realized I never posted it. I've been informed that RoadTrip has since upgraded their vehicles so some of what's below may not be applicable anymore.] However, the vehicle we rented was in poor repair and did not meet our expectations for performance or safety. It was an older turbo diesel Land Cruiser with 200k km on it. We appreciated the high clearance, especially in the mountains, but its problems were numerous and appalled us more and more as the trip went on: It was severely underpowered and the automatic transmission was poor. Many times it left us almost at a standstill on hills because it would not downshift. The steering and suspension were loose and made it frankly unsafe on curves, during avoidance steering (inevitable around Ugandan drivers and other road users like pedestrians and goats), or "higher" speeds like 70 kph plus. As unpleasant as the mountain roads were due to the steel slopes and rough transmission, the vehicle felt even more unnerving on the tarmac, when it swayed precariously from side to side. One sudden swerve and a rollover would have been inevitable. There were no airbags and the rear seatbelt on each side was dangling uselessly, not anchored anymore. Both headlights were partially blocked by the brush guard, and one was so dim we weren't sure it worked at first. About 8 days into our trip, the mirror assembly fell out of one of the outside mirrors during routine driving on a dirt road and could not be put back in because a plastic part had snapped. One tail light was broken from the start. The spare tire was held on by exactly one lug nut and the brush guard was crooked and wobbled as though it would fall off. On the front passenger side, water dripped onto our feet from above. Only some of the speakers worked and although the aftermarket stereo had a USB port, no iPod or iPhone we tried would play over it (aux input did work but there was only one cigarette lighter and it was required by the GPS). A thumbdrive would play but randomly would start over from the beginning. The compass was stuck on SW and the altimeter never moved either. The car came with a complement of small red ants, even though we secured food carefully and didn't seem to have caused it (they were mostly around the edges of the doors). Just about the only nice thing we could say about the car was that the AC and cooler box in the center console worked. The cooler box did fill with water every time though. It compared very poorly with a similar Toyota we rented for a similar price in Namibia, or other rental vehicles we saw around Uganda. Given the good reviews of RoadTrip Uganda, we were surprised and disappointed by its unsafe condition. The vehicle was so unpleasant that about a week into our trip we were looking forward to leaving it behind and going home, despite our enjoyment of the vacation otherwise. I'm very glad to hear that they have since upgraded their fleet!

    This should be your default choice for renting a car in Africa. Friendly, professional stuff that understands what it is to be a tourist and how to make your experience great. Everything was perfect - our small Toyota RAV4, online payment, pickup at the hotel, dropoff in other city. I usually spend a lot of time on research for the best place to rent a car and Roadtrip Africa was in theory (and later in practice) the best by far.

    We borrowed a vehicle for 3 weeks for a tour of Uganda. We were satisfied in every respect. Our questions and concerns were always answered and resolved quickly. We would like to send a special thank you to Madelon Donder. We recommend Roadtrip 100%. Thank you for everything.
