About Rent A Driver Uganda

  We have planned a trip through Uganda at very short notice. We wanted to rent a 4x4 car. Since we didn't know all the peculiarities of Uganda, we wanted a... read more driver. That was a very good idea. Anthony, our driver drove us safely 1800km through Uganda. We started in Kampala then to Queen Elisabeth NP, further to Murchison Falls NP and Mount Elgon NP and finally back to Kampala. Anthony turned out to be not only a good driver but also a very good guide and organizer. He organized accommodation for us at the various destinations, he was always friendly and responded to our wishes. Priceless such a good guide! The contact with the company / Phiona was quick and easy. It was a pleasure for us to be able to experience the pearl of Africa in this way. Our budget wasn't very big, but despite that it worked very well. Gladly again!

  Allan and I spent 12 days getting to know Uganda. Thanks to him, it turned out that the permits
for the gorillas that we bought 2 years ago were... read more still valid and it was thanks to him that we were able to fulfil our dreams of meeting these giants.
Allan was very helpful. When it turned out that the hotel we had booked did not exist, he quickly found another.
In every situation he behaved perfectly.
Fully professional driver and guide, worth recommending to anyone.
If we come back to Uganda we will certainly want to use his services again.

  Habert was an outstanding and safe driver that went above and beyond for us in Uganda. We rented a 4x4 van with a pop-up roof and had a tight... read more 4 days of travel to fit everything we had planned in. Habert was a perfect interlocuteur at every step of our trip around Uganda and helped organize each of the activities we had scheduled and through our conversations with him he also added a few activities which were well worth it. We had a small hiccup with the car we had rented and he resolved the problem quickly and safely. Overall would happily recommend him to any traveler.

  My partner and I had a wonderful trip in Uganda in large part to the kind and accommodating services of Rent a Driver Uganda. We proposed our own itinerary and... read more ideas for the trip over email a few months in advance and Phionah was very responsive and helpful in giving us feedback and securing a driver. All information about pricing and services were clear and transparent upfront - no unexpected surprises.

We traveled to the western part of Uganda for a trip totaling 8 days (crater lakes near Fort Portal - Queen Elizabeth National Park - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - Lake Bunyonyi). Uganda is a beautiful country and we enjoyed having the ability to enjoy the scenery during our drives between locations without having to worry about focusing on the driving. Our driver, Anthony, was very kind, accommodating, and an excellent driver. He always had our best interests in mind wanting to keep us safe and helping us explore all aspects of Ugandan culture. It was nice being able to stop in any place that caught our attention along the drive, never feeling rushed or under pressure. The car itself was kept in excellent condition and was very comfortable. Anthony was always on time and professional. We really enjoyed getting to spend these 8 days with him and appreciate everything he did to make our trip such an incredible experience 🙂

  Isaac is an excellent Driver, he is calm , I enjoyed every moment he drove me around Uganda. He acted like a tour guide and took me to... read more various destinations in Uganda. He will definitely be my driver whenever am in Uganda . I highly recommend him for any driving in UG, . Thank you for Your kindness isaac

  We had an incredible trip to many of Uganda’s national parks with our 3 teenage boys. This experience would not have been possible without our rent - a - driver... read more Gerald. His knowledge of the geography, roads, animals and birds in the parks was exceptional. Having been on safaris elsewhere in Africa, I can vouch for his skill in navigating the parks and searching for wildlife. We even saw lions and leopards (notoriously difficult to see). Gerald appears to know everybody in the tourism sector and so is able to manage the bureaucracy involved in any visit with ease and is always on your side getting the best deals and experiences available. This makes for a very smooth and trouble free experience for us travellers. Gerald is a very safe driver and his knowledge of Uganda’s road system is first class (better than any sat nav!). Gerald was also great fun, chatty, interesting and a great laugh. Our 3 teenage boys absolutely adored him. We are already planning our next trip (to Kidepo) and would only go with our friend Gerald as our driver. He is one in a million. Thank you so much Gerald - we miss you!

  We have made our trip this summer with them but we had a bad experience because of our driver.
We contacted them because a friend told us about his big... read more trip with Gerald, so we made it very clear that we wanted to do our trip with Gerald.
Phiona helped us plan our route and manage the gorilla permits and the truth is that she was great, but in terms of managing the driver very badly, she booked Gerald for us since he was available, in fact, the same day we arrived to Entebbe, he told us that Gerald would pick us up with Shanice and that was a lie because Gerald was already with other clients.

Our driver Alan was a good guy but we had some setbacks because he didn't check things and he didn't inform himself, and when you hire a local driver you expect him to bring his knowledge to your trip since it is his country and you expect him to help you.

We have felt cheated.
In fact, some relatives are going to organize a trip to Uganda and unfortunately we cannot recommend this company as it is not reliable.

We are very sorry that the trip did not go well and we cannot speak well of the company since we have had many setbacks and lack of information

Hemos hecho nuestro viaje este verano con ellos pero tuvimos una mala experiencia por nuestro conductor.
Les contactamos porque un amigo nos habló de su gran viaje con Gerald, así que dejamos muy claro que queriamos hacer nuestro viaje con Gerald.
Phiona nos ayudó a planificar nuestra ruta y gestionar los permisos de los gorilas y la verdad que de portó genial, pero en cuanto a la gestión del conductor muy mal, nos reservó a Gerald ya que estaba disponible, de hecho, el mismo día que llegamos a Entebbe, nos dijo que Gerald nos recogería con Shanice y eso era mentira porque Gerald ya estaba con otros clientes.

Nuestro conductor Alan fue un buen chico pero tuvimos algunos contratiempos porque no chequeaba las cosas y no se informaba, y cuando contratas un conductor local precisamente esperas que él aporte a tu viaje su conocimiento ya que es su país y esperas que te ayude.

Nos hemos sentido estafados.
De hecho, unos familiares van a organizar un viaje a Uganda y lamentablemente no podemos recomendarles esta empresa, ya que no es fiable.

Sentimos mucho que el viaje no fuese bien y no podamos hablar bien de la empresa ya que hemos tenido muchos contratiempos y falta de información.

  This is an excellent service. Booking through Phionah was easy and reliable. Michael, our driver, was fantastic. He always arrived on time to pick us up. His driving was... read more safe and he was an excellent guide. Very friendly, cheerful and helpful. We travelled extensively throughout Uganda sometimes on tiny tracks, but also through busy town centres and he never got lost! Would highly recommend this company.

  We are so grateful and lucky that we cannot put words into our trip. We had Dona, that would be enough to say, but since it was our first trip... read more in Uganda and you may not know him, just a few words will help you to know why we are so passionate about him. We were 14 AMAZING days, visiting Kampala, Jinja, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchinson Falls, Fort Portal, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi Forest, Lake Buyouni, Lake Mburo and back to Kampala. During our road trip we would stop on the way, where he would explain to us everything about all types of bananas( we are now banana experts!!:), the whole process involving sorghum, coffee plants, the intricacies about tea plantations, maiz, moringa trees and, of course, how to get the best rolex. He shared with us his broad knowledge about every single kind of bird, and in our game drives he was the first to spot the animals, when everyone else would arrive late for the game. With Dona we got to see leopards, lions, hyenas, giraffes, buffalos, zebras,babbons, waterbucks, bushbucks, impalas, elands, elephants, malibu storks, crocodiles, hipos, rhynos.. and a long etcetera of fauna we had no idea of the names until now. We felt very comfortable during the trip sharing our music in the car ( guitar, flute and singing)at times , and having fun while exchanging interesting conversations. We also laughed a lot, since he has great sense of humor. His input expanded our original lodging plans at times, improving considerably our trip. His personality totally suited us, since he was respectful of our space, calm but energetic at the same time, chatty and quiet, responsible, professional and trustworthy. Many times he would be out of his way to fulfill our wishes. We highly recommend Dona and this company. Thank you for a MAGIC trip!!!

  We loved our experience with rent a driver uganda! Phionah was always very fast to reply and also very helpful, organising all permits for us and sending us a list... read more of recommended hotels or lodges for each stop we planned. We also felt safe with the transfer we had to do in advance. Our driver Gerald was absolutely world class! He had an abundance of knowledge of the animals, the flora, the local customs and the country in general since he is from Uganda himself and has also been a tourist guide for many years. He was very friendly and chatty and improved our itinerary to include some extra things he thought we may be interested in once he got to know us. They were all fantastic recommendations and gave us a great experience of the local communities. He also knew the best local guides in each community for example Robin in Bunyonyi. Gerald is a very safe driver ( we had some other transport too so we could compare) and we enjoyed the safari van as you can comfortable stretch your legs whilst sitting but also stand up to see animals! Gerald also cleaned the van constantly and had it checked in garages regularly as we were on a 14 day journey. The atmosphere throughout the trip was always very pleasant, we just had to ask if we needed anything or were in the mood to learn a bit more and ask some questions otherwise we just enjoyed our ride in peace too. I am sure we will keep in touch with Gerald as we have not only met a fantastic tour guide and driver but also a new friend! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent a driver in Uganda, Kenia, Ruanda or anywhere close by. We met a few people on the way who drove themselves and they told us of some problems such as going to the wrong park gates etc which we luckily avoided having a driver. We also had the unfortunate situation that Kazinga Wilderness Camp did not honour our reservation via hotels.com and so Gerald helped us find a new lodge. A great experience all round!

  I had the best driver anyone could have possibly hoped for. Juma whom works for Rent a driver Uganda was an amazing driver, looked after us and always made... read more sure we were safe. We were four women travelling throughout the entire country. I highly recommend Juma and will defiantly insist he is our driver on our next trip. Well done Juma and thank you for being so much fun.

  Rent a Driver Uganda was perfect for our trip. I was skeptical at first but I should not have been. I arranged a driver by email for 4 days... read more around Kampala Uganda. Our driver Medi showed up early every day and was a safe cautious driver. I will only use this service when I travel to Uganda.
