Highly recommended. 100% friendliness
I am organising a family trip to Uganda and I contacted this company via WhatsApp. I can only recommend them because the treatment has been exquisite. Always (any day at any time) the person who always attended me, Edward, was available. I have asked him a thousand questions, I have made him dizzy.... And he has always been gentle and kind. He tries to solve any question in record time... Anyway... A 10 for Edward, really. And a 10 for the company. I would recommend it 100% (and I am an experienced and demanding traveller) because Edward's patience with me has been infinite. I am very grateful to him.

4 Wochen Uganda - eine unvergessliche und wunderschöne Reise mit unserem Fahrer Moses
Im Januar/ Februar 2024 haben wir eine intensive Uganda Reise gemacht. Zunächst hatten wir gedacht, uns nur ein Fahrzeug zu mieten und selbst zu fahren. Dafür kontaktierte ich Self Drive Uganda. Von Anfang an war der Kontakt bestens und prompt, entweder per Mail oder WhatsApp. Und Joan im Büro hat mir geduldig bei der Reiseplanung mit Tipps geholfen (und uns die Permits für das Gorilla- und Schimpansen-Tracking organisiert). Doch bald entschieden mein Lebenspartner und ich uns für einen Fahrer, und das war eine der besten Entscheidungen. Mit Moses (unserem Fahrer) waren wir fast 4 Wochen unterwegs. Er war nicht nur Fahrer, er half uns bei der Suche nach Unterkünften, gab viele Tipps und Anregungen auf der (nicht bis ins kleinste Detail durchgeplanten) Reise. Auch hatte er unendlich viele Kontakte und war gut vernetzt. Letztendlich waren wir wie Freunde (und vermissen ihn)…. Er ist ein ausgesprochen guter und aufmerksamer Fahrer (was ja schon am eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine entspannte Reise ist), hat viel Humor und weiß natürlich eine ganze Menge von Uganda zu berichten. Und er liebt die Natur (vor allem auch die vielfältige Vogel-Welt) und hat ein geschultes Auge dafür. Game drives waren mit ihm somit IMMER mit tollen Erlebnissen und „Erfolgen“. Nie werde ich die Beobachtung einer jagenden Hyäne im Queen-Elizabeth-Nationalpark vergessen. Andere Driver hatten schon aufgegeben oder die Geduld verloren, aber Moses machte einfach den Motor aus, stelle das Fahrzeug ab und meinte: warten wir mal und schauen was passiert. Und die Hyäne kam zurück….und wir konnten alles in Ruhe beobachten. Er hatte wie so oft mal wieder Recht. Insgesamt fuhren wir mit ihm durch fast ganz Uganda, an die 3000 km, davon fast 400 km allein Game drives. Wir können Moses nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen! Auch das Fahrzeug war perfekt und sehr bequem: ein Toyota Lexus mit einem pop up roof, womit man bei den Game drives ein super Sicht hat. Die Straßen in Uganda waren überwiegend viel besser als erwartet, aber es gab trotzdem ab und an sehr, sehr schwierige Verhältnisse (durch Niederschläge ausgewaschene Weg etc.). Sowohl Moses als auch das 4x4 Auto meisterten auch das bestens. Preislich war alles sehr transparent, es wurde eine Tagespauschale vereinbart und den Treibstoff bezahlten immer wir direkt an den Tankstellen – eine faire Regelung für alle Beteiligten. Wir empfehlen zu 100% das Unternehmen und natürlich auch Moses weiter!!!!

Good experience, good guide !
We rented Toyota Land Cruiser for our trip in Uganda in Jan/Feb 2024. We also bought a gorilla / chimpanzee permit through Self Drive Uganda. During 2 weeks of trip, we did not encounter any kind of problem. Our local guide "Isaac" managed our trip fluently. Isaac had good advices and we were really satisfied with his service. Personally we don't recommend the tend on the roof as it's easy to find relatevely cheap accommodation anyways in Uganda.

Self Drive Rwanda Uganda Kenya
Excellent car and excellent service if you want to self drive. We had a Toyota LC with modified gas tank to 200Liters and everything needed to ride and do game drives with good working 4x4. They helped with Gorilla permits and Chimpanzee Habituation permits. Pick up of the 4x4 in Kigali and drop off in Kenya. We drove for 1900 km with no problem Helped with road and organization for the road trip Would recommend and come back again!!

good cars, good service, very good price
We rented a Landcruiser and a RAV4 from this company for two weeks. After we had already had very good experiences in 2019, we were confident about the trip. First contact and making the deposit were completely uncomplicated. Handover and pick-up at the airport in Entebbe worked perfectly. The cars were a bit older, but in good shape and took us safely to the various destinations up to the Bwindi National Park. There were a few problems with RAV4, but after a quick call, help was immediately available. The company got us the gorilla permits and helped us find suitable accommodation. I would like to express my sincere thanks again.

Very satisfied customer
I have rented a car from the Rwandan branch of Self Drive Uganda on a number of occasions for weeks of transport in the capital. They offer convenient complimentary pick up and drop off from and to the airport at the end of the rental period. Payment is done by card with their card machine. Their cars are affordable Toyota RAVs that are a little older but well maintained. They supply the car complete, with among others jack & sparewheel supplied - not always the case with other companies! Their service in Kigali is really courteous and swift, much better than a competitor we rented from before. Their representative Agnes is really professional and kind and so is their collection driver Olivier. I will rent again.

????????
The overall experience was super, the drivers are very friendly and do an excellent job. Just a recommendation when you pay the park fees make sure you take a picture of everything you pay for so you avoid being charged extra at the end.

Great company, great car!
My daughter and I have just spent a week driving around Uganda in a LandCruiser rented from Self Drive Uganda (great adventure!) The communication and booking was easy, car was great, they delivered it to our accommodation in Kampala and collected it from us in Entebbe. When we got a flat tyre in the middle of our trip, friendly locals helped us change it immediately but this company responded Immediately to my WhatsApp call and arranged a new tyre. I’m no car expert but we did some very difficult off road driving in Bwindi and lots of unsealed roads, and the car went really well! I think they’re well priced compared to other companies. No complaints at all. Highly recommended.

Top Fahrzeug für ein wunderschönes, vielfältiges Land
Wir haben für unseren 3 wöchigen Uganda Roadtrip einen Toyota Landcruiser mit Rooftop tent gemietet. Dabei war das Team von Selfdrive Uganda super unkompliziert und hilfsbereit und das Auto war top für das Land und hat uns überall problemlos hingebracht
