Uganda
Morning mist still hangs between the trees. Ahead, a red-earth road disappears into the green. You ease the 4x4 forward, heading for rainforest, savannah and the source of the Nile. Uganda holidays can bring strikingly different landscapes into one journey. The Rwenzori Mountains, Lake Victoria, papyrus wetlands, acacia savannah and old rainforest all sit within the same country. You drive yourself, stop when it feels right and decide how long the road should take.

Driving skills
Many landscapes, one road.
Uganda sits on the equator in the heart of Africa. The Rwenzori Mountains rise in the west. Lake Victoria stretches across the south. Between them lie rainforest, papyrus wetlands, volcanic highlands and open savannah. That variety makes independent travel rewarding. Around Entebbe, the roads are paved. Inside national parks and remote regions, the surface changes to sand and mud. This is where a capable 4x4 becomes part of the journey. Leave as the first light reaches the savannah. Stay longer at a viewpoint. Wait while an elephant clears the track. Your own vehicle gives you that freedom, with a planned route and support behind it.
