Looking for an affordable and reliable car to rent on your travels in Uganda? The Toyota RAV4 is perfect for budget-friendly adventures. It's sporty, compact and fuel-efficient. It's automatic and full-time 4WD, making it easy to handle. 

This compact version fits two people. You can hire the RAV4 with our ground tent and camping gear, but it cannot be outfitted with a rooftop tent or fridge. Please note that the RAVs are not geared for travel to Kidepo National Park and Karamajo. Check the details of the restricted areas here.
