Roadtrip Uganda

Uganda holds a special place in our hearts – it’s where Roadtrip Africa started back in 2011. Often called ‘Africa in Miniature’, this country brings together the very best of the continent in one compact and stunning destination. In just half a day’s drive, you can go from one highlight to the next, making it ideal for both first-time and seasoned roadtrippers.

Come face to face with mountain gorillas, track chimpanzees in the forest, spot the impressive shoebill stork, or watch lions in the wild. But Uganda offers more than just wildlife. Discover its rich culture in a traditional manyatta in Karamoja, hike the snow-capped peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains, go white-water rafting on the Nile, and end your day with a lively night out in Kampala.

Roadtrip Tanzania

Tanzania is Africa’s ultimate safari destination and a true paradise for adventurers and roadtrippers. Where else can you witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, experience Maasai culture, climb the snow-capped Kilimanjaro and swim in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean? Tanzania has it all. And so much more.

Of course, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar are world-famous. But look a little further, and you’ll find countless hidden gems that are just as breathtaking. We’ll help you discover them all, on an unforgettable self-drive trip through Tanzania.

Roadtrip Kenya

Kenya will surprise you with endless savannahs, lush tea plantations and tropical beaches lined with palm trees. The country blends nature, culture and warm hospitality into an unforgettable and diverse road trip destination.

There’s no better place in the world to see herds of elephants than Amboseli National Park. And the Masai Mara? It’s renowned for being home to one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on earth. But no trip to Kenya is complete without a visit to the beach. The Swahili Coast enchants with its colourful mix of African, Indian and Arab influences – an experience unlike anywhere else in the world.

Roadtrip Madagascar

Madagascar is a destination like no other. Picture endless white-sand beaches, lush rainforests, towering baobabs, unique wildlife and the striking landscapes of the Tsingy.

Here, you’ll explore national parks visited by only a handful of travellers and discover a fascinating mix of African and Asian cultures. Add to that the delicious French-inspired cuisine, and it’s easy to see why Madagascar has become our newest Roadtrip Africa destination.
