The Best Roads for Self drive in Uganda

The Best Roads for Self drive in Uganda: Nothing makes an exciting journey of self drive car rental in Uganda than driving and winding through well maintained roads upcountry where you’re rented vehicle is great to maneuver the Terrains. Most of the Roads radiating out of Kampala are incredibly and well maintained but a few off-the track routes are still in bad shape which requires you to plan right before you get behind the wheels. Self drive car rental in Uganda is very much possible and impressive when you get used to the other road users in Uganda and the road conditions. There are few or no road signs on most graded roads upcountry which requires you driving carefully with self belief.
We bring to you some of the roads you can include or you should consider driving on through Uganda  on a self drive option.
Kampala Mbarara Road
Driving through this well paved road from Kampala through Masaka to lake Mburo is a great start and instills confidence for every first time drivers in Africa and Uganda. This road is well paved with many drivers and yes a little crazy drivers. The road also takes you through the equator which is always a great stop for a cup of coffee, window shopping and welcoming photo moments at the zero degrees equator line. Through the exciting villages and towns, this road will lead you to lake Mburo National Park, an impressive start for wildlife viewing, boat cruise, horseback safaris and walking safaris.
Kabale – Kisoro Road
The windy road ascending and descending through the rolling hills of Kabale to the extreme south of Uganda is extraordinarily impressive but only for those that love being behind the wheels. It usually feels like your are playing a video game or reflects memories of the swizz mountain Alps. Commonly refered to as the “small Switzerland of Uganda” The southern of Uganda is also branded the Mother of Pearl on grounds that Uganda is the Pearl of Africa. This same road takes you through the most beautiful areas of Uganda, the best views of the snaking lake bunyonyi, the views to the chain of the volcanoes, mist covered rainforests and a beautiful lake Mutanda beneath. The road as well leads you to the home of the mountain Gorillas. Get upclose and personal with Uganda mountain Gorillas of Bwindi with Crystal Car Hire.
Bwindi, Ishasha to Queen Elizabeth N.P Road
Descending from the mountains to the seemingly flat terrains and plains of Kihihi – Ishasha  is an impressive drive with extraordinaly encounters. The views in the forest of Bwindi, the cool fresh breath, the monkey encounters if not bush elephants, the local life that later leads you to Ishasha for the famous Tree climbing lions of Ishasha. The rolling Hills and incredible scenic views are a must see and drive through areas. The tree climbing lions of Ishasha are incredibly fascinating as you encounter a pride hitching and lazily resting on the horizontally positioned huge Fig tree branches. Driving the remaining 70kms to the northern sector through the Maramagambo and Rwenshama fishing villages overlooked by an escarpment is more of a game drive with a lot of wildlife encounters part of the bio-diverse Queen Elizabeth National park.
Fort Portal Crater Lake Drive Road.The recently graded road through the impressive crater lakes is surely a great idea to drive through. All the way from the outscarts of the kibale forest park through the kasenda craters is incredibly beautiful. Driving and viewing the craters from above is incredible breathtaking. This is recommended road when you would want to connect to Kibale forest for chimpanzee tracking ar the other way round if you would want to connect to Queen Elizabeth National Park.Mount Elgon – Moroto – Kotido to Kidepo Road

There is no road in Uganda culturally endowed like the karamoja stretch. The ever improving road, graded and paved in some areas truly defines Africa and a hidden treasure. Starting from mount Elgon, through Pian Upe, Kotido and finally leading to the Hidden treasure of the wilderness; Kidepo Valley National Park. The cultural encounters in kotido would lead you visiting the biggest cultural manyata village and different karimojong people. There has been a lot of government intervention and NGO help extended to this area of Uganda and this has seen it continuously develop.
