On my visit to Uganda in January, I decided to travel by
road and in this case, I decided to go for a Uganda self drive where by a drove
myself. This was splendid as I controlled my safari and managed my time. All I needed
was a well trained guide to help me locate where some places are but in most
cases my map was helpful on this. So how did everything start? I was in
Denmark, my home country and I picked interest in visiting Africa for a tour. I
wanted to see the wildlife and in my mind, I wanted to choose a destination
which had all the big five wild animals. I had been in Africa several times
especially in Uganda and therefore I fancied going back there because of the
thrilling adventure I had while there. Offcourse I didn’t over stress when it
came to selecting which company to use because I had been using Maranatha Toursand Travel Ltd and enjoyed their company whenever in Uganda. All I had to was
to inform them about my trip and the dates. Just as I had sent the inquiry, I got
an immediate reply from them and they sent me the costing of the whole safari.
I went on and confirmed the trip because their price was within my range. What
was unique this time was that I was to drive myself while on a Uganda safari
I arrived in Uganda on 5th January at Entebbe
international Airport. I was welcomed by the company guide who drove me to my
booked hotel in Kampala. I enjoyed every bit of it as we drove past
eye-catching spots in Kampala city.The next day was for transfer from Kampala
to Queen Elizabeth National Park. Am the one who drove but I had a guide by me
who gave me company and also helped me locate certain places I didn’t know. The
trip was magnificent and it was actually different from those I had before. We
arrived in the evening and checked in our lodge for dinner and overnight.
The next day was the actual day for the safari as we went
for a thrilling game drive through Queen Elizabeth National Park. I had a
chance to view all the big five wild animals but what I enjoyed most was the
lions which we found in the fields of Queen playing. That day was the best of
my life and I enjoyed every bit of it. We later returned to the lodge for lunch
and relaxation before going for an evening nature walk. We returned to the
lodge for dinner and overnight.
The last day of the safari was all about transferring from
Queen Elizabeth National Park to Kampala. I drove part of the journey and left
the rest to my guide to drive because I didn’t want to get so tires as I had to
catch a flight at 7:00 Pm. I left for Denmark that same day and travel safely.
The experience I had on that trip was remarkably rewarding
and I thank the Uganda Self drive team for the love and good services.
