About Roadtrip Africa
Roadtrip Africa has been providing reliable 4x4 car rental services in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, and Madagascar since 2011. We pride ourselves on being a family-owned and operated business that takes care of everything before, during, and after your trip. Unlike other travel agents, we do not work with intermediaries, so rest assured that you are dealing with us directly. We have on-the-ground teams in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, and Madagascar, and a booking office in the Netherlands.

Our Story & Values
At Roadtrip Africa, we're more than just a car rental company - we're a group of passionate adventurers who love exploring the beauty of East Africa.
It all started with Okke and Laura from the Netherlands, back in 2011. When they were living in Uganda, they had many friends coming over to visit who wanted to explore Uganda at their own pace at an affordable rate. However, this was not possible at the time. No company offered reliable 4x4 cars for self-drive with camp gear and route planning assistance.
So, an idea was born. An idea to create a company that would help travelers discover the magic of Africa on their own terms. We've come a long way since our early days, expanding our services to Tanzania, Kenya, and Madagascar, and opening local offices in Kampala, Arusha, Nairobi, and Ivato.
Today, we're proud to still be the market leader in the self-drive industry in East Africa, with an ever-growing fleet of reliable 4x4 cars and a loyal community of (returning) Roadtrippers from all over the world.
At Roadtrip Africa, we believe that trust and respect are essential to building strong relationships with our clients and our team. We're upfront and sincere, and we encourage our staff members to learn and grow. We are a small and efficient team of Dutchies, Ugandans, Kenyans, Tanzanians and Malagasy. Many of our team members have been with us since the very beginning, and we're proud to have reached the stage where our African offices are managed and co-owned by local members of our team. We believe this combination of Dutch accuracy and reliability, hands-on knowledge of the country and contagious joy for life is what sets us apart from other car rental companies.
We're passionate about helping you create unforgettable memories in Africa, and we're committed to providing you with the support you need to make your trip a success. Whether you're looking to explore the savannas of Tanzania, the beaches of Madagascar, or the bustling cities of Uganda and Kenya, we're here to help you plan the adventure of a lifetime. So why not join the Roadtrip Africa family and start planning your next adventure today?
