Well as, the mid-range and budget travelers can opt for; Rav4, Super Custom, Safari Vans and Coaster buses (especially groups), and the rates vary from how many days your safari will take and on which particular type of vehicle you are to use.

However, due to the poor roads leading to most of Ugandan protected areas, the company has trained many driver-guides who know very well on how to drive safely through those roads in the Parks.

It is however not a must to hire a driver-guide if at all you also have a valid driving permit and you are very sure about your driving skills but remember that going to a safari minus a local driver-guide is just risk-taking and surely you are missing a lot.

Among the risks that you are taking when you don’t hire a driver-guide include; paying for the damages of the vehicle got from the safari (US$ 2000) and others that will be told to you by the company’s consultant.

The consultant will tell you everything that is required for you to be given a particular tourist vehicle of your own choice and will briefly pass you through the ‘’car hire agreement’’ (terms and conditions).

If at all you find something that you don’t agree with in the agreement you are free to inform your consultant and either negotiate or leave that company and opt for another company that may seem to be convenient and lenient to you.

However, you should not fear the agreement because it is very, very lenient and 100% of the previous clients agree with it. The best option to be totally out of the penalties concerning with damages on the vehicle, during the safari, you are highly advised to hire a local professional and experienced driver-guide – a driver-guide is relatively affordable.

Almost 70% of the previous travelers who tend to go on a self-drive without a driver face the penalties due to the poor roads in the Parks, the vehicles overturn, but 100% of those who hire drivers have not suffered any problem.

All of the tourist vehicles from 4X4 CAR HIRE UGANDA are of 4WD (4-wheel drive), as the company’s name states, and those are the most recommended types of vehicles for tourism.

Batwa People were great local hunters and gatherers who migrated from the Ituri forest reserve of Democratic Republic of Congo in search of wild animals for hunting, these people moved in groups following trails in the great forests of the Virunga Massif and after their migration some settled in the western wing of Uganda and the other settled in the Rwanda.

These people were great hunters who used to feed on wild meat, used forests as their shelter through sleeping in branches of large trees, caves and more, they also used tree leaves as their medicine. Back cloth was their main wearing gear which they manufactured from special tree capping using their local manufacturing tools; they produced fire out of stone using stone age tools.

These people were shy since they were spending most of the times in the forests so they were not used to human beings but now there are upgrading into normal civilized human beings.

After the establishment of national parks in places occupied by Batwa people an order was issued for them to vacate these places such that they are gazetted for the conservation of different wildlife primates and species, this made them feel discriminated from the society but later they got used to the society after frequent visits to their societies by people from different countries.
