Camping in Uganda | This is what you need<\/h2>\n

Ever dreamed of a camping trip in Africa? Heading into the bush, gazing at the stars and sleeping under the watchful eyes of wildlife\u2014 that\u2019s camping in Uganda!<\/h4>\n

Travelling in peak season? Camping gives you more freedom and flexibility. <\/strong>Uganda is becoming a popular destination, and during peak months (July\u2013Sept and Jan-Feb), many good hotels are fully booked well in advance. If you’re planning late or prefer to keep your plans flexible, camping is a great option.<\/h4>\n

You can turn any of our 4x4s<\/a> into a fully equipped camper vehicle. We provide rooftop tents and all the essential gear to make life on the road as comfortable as possible.<\/h4>\n

To find campsites or budget-friendly guesthouses, we recommend using the free iOverlander app. It lists and reviews almost every camping spot in Uganda \u2014 and the best part is, you usually don\u2019t need to book ahead.<\/h4>\n

    Our Nissan Navara and Suzuki Jimny vehicles can be equipped with either a rooftop tent or a ground (dome) tent. Also, the Land Cruiser can be outfitted with a rooftop tent, but then the pop-up roof can no longer be used. The Toyota RAV4 is only suitable for a dome tent.<\/p>\n
