Choosing a Vehicle for Your Solo Travel Uganda.

When traveling solo in Uganda, selecting an appropriate means of transportation is essential. It’s rather wise to choose a safari company than to experience Uganda alone with GPS.

When choosing the right safari vehicle, it’s a good idea to communicate with your safari company so that a relatively smaller vehicle is allocated to you instead of going with a vehicle that remains so empty. This may create a feeling of lowliness during your safari. we recommend a comfortable safari vehicle of 3 seats for better experience.
