Self Drive Car Hire From Entebbe Airport

March 17, 2023by Bishom0 comments

Entebbe has a lot to offer to tourist, these includes, different beaches, gardens, Ngamba Chimpanzee sanctuary, Mabamba wetland where you can see the shoe bill on a boat ride, different landing sites and many more.

Most agencies offer Uganda car rental from the airport to most prebooked clients. Some clients opt to first explore Entebbe area and then continue to different destinations on car hire. We have both big and small cars which fit even a family or group vacation.

Ngamba Island is accessed by a boat and the set off point is at the water front. The car can be packed at a hotel or any other safe place and then go and enjoy the eating sessions with the rescued chimpanzees in Ngamba. The forest is small so the natural food in the forest is not enough for the gentle apes therefore they are supplemented with food and fruits on different eating sessions.

After exploring Entebbe you can continue to other places or destinations like Jinja, Kidepo National park, Bwindi National park, Murchison falls, Lake Mburo national park and etc. On self-driving trips, the time spent on a place depend on you, the way you will fall in love with the place, Number of days you prefer to spend in Uganda, and how many destinations you want to cover.

Driving is fan and make sure you have enough gas before driving in different parks. You may want to do so many game drives and the gas can limit you. Some parks are far away from the gas stations so some clients has reserve jerycans with fuel to bail them out in case need arise. We provide empty Jerycans for our clients on request.

While driving, make sure you mind about the posters on road for speed, zebra crossing, schools, steep places, slippery roads and etc. Driving carefully is very important as you will not get tickets from the traffic officers on the roads.

Car hire gives freedom on which destination to start with and to end with and changing or editing your itinerary in mind is very easy.  After visiting all other places upcountry, you can end with Kampala capital city. You can explore culture by visiting Buganda palace, Kasubi tomb, Buganda parliament. There are also other like Bahai Temple, Namugongo shrine, Uganda museum, Gaddaffi Moslem Mosque  and so on.

After ending your self-driving safari, we can pick the car from the airport. On booking, you can provide the information of drop off place or the car or while still on safari, you can contact our reservationist and provide the information.

Dropping a car to different destinations is also possible, but you will have to provide for fuel and driver allowance to return it to office. The cost depends on where you prefer to drop the car.
