The Road Trip in Uganda was amazing



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.
