While its not illegal to embark on a self drive safari, the Uganda Tourism Board, the tourism regulator, advises against self drive especially for first time visitors. This is in recognition of the challenges that driving on Uganda’s roads can prove to first time visitors. Many or the roads have potholes, are slippery, are poorly lite and the drivers tend to be aggressive. To avoid these risks simply rent a car with a local driver who understands the roads and the local driving culture.
While hiring a driver may seem a little expensive at the start, in many cases its worth the extra dollar. While most rental cars are insured, they come with some uninsured costs in case of accidents. For example most companies do not insure the car against single motor accidents, rollover and towing costs. In the event of any of these happening you would be paying sizably higher than you would pay for a local guide.
Local driver guides do a fundamental role in ensuring sustainable tourism. For example because of their network and local knowledge, you will be driving much shorter and spotting more animals than you would if you were driving yourself. This means less damage to the animal habitat and certainly less emissions. Buy reducing on the damage to nature these driver guides contribute to sustainable tourism. When you hire a car with a driver you will be supporting these local talent so that they are in turn available to help more travelers.
The cost of renting a car with a driver normally depends on the car being rented, the destination and duration of the rental. Other factors notwithstanding, hiring a driver with your rental car normally comes with an additional $20 per day or slightly higher.
