Hire your car in Uganda with a driver-guide

Are you looking for an adventurous 4x4 roadtrip in Uganda but do you feel unsure about driving? Then rent a car with a local driver!

Having a tour guide and driver all-in-1 is a great option for roadtrippers who want to remain in charge of their holiday and itinerary yet prefer someone else to do the driving. At the same time, being accompanied by a local driver-guide means learning more about the local culture and wildlife in Uganda while you travel. All our drivers speak English and are experienced tour guides and bush mechanics. No stress, difficulties or long hours behind the wheel; your local driver is there to facilitate and ease your travels.

The cost of hiring a driver is €40/per day.
