Camping in Uganda: Tips and Things to Know

Uganda is a captivating destination that boasts a rich diversity of landscapes and wildlife. For adventurous travelers, camping in Uganda provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty and experience the untamed wilderness. Here are 10 essential tips and things to know for an unforgettable camping experience in this East African gem.

1. Diverse Campsite Options

One of the first things to know when planning a camping trip in Uganda is the abundance of campsite options. From basic campgrounds within national parks managed by the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) to private campsites operated by lodge owners, there is a wide range to choose from. Private camps often offer additional amenities such as restaurants and swimming pools, providing a comfortable base for your adventure.

2. Camping Fees

Understanding the camping fees is crucial for budget planning. Public campsites managed by UWA, equipped with basic facilities like pit latrines, water, firewood, and ranger security, cost USD 5 per person per night. Private campgrounds may charge around USD 10 per person, while basic campsites outside national parks can be as affordable as USD 5 per tent.

3. Wild Camping Regulations

Unlike some countries where wild camping is permissible, it is uncommon and not allowed in Uganda. Visitors should stick to designated campsites within national parks or private grounds to ensure both safety and adherence to regulations.

4. No Advance Reservations Required

Unlike some neighboring countries, camping within national parks in Uganda does not require reservations. Upon arrival at the park entrance gate, simply express your intention to camp overnight, and an overnight permit will be arranged for you.

5. Bush Camping in Murchison Falls National Park

While wild camping is generally restricted, Murchison Falls National Park offers a unique opportunity for bush camping. Special campsites, also known as bush camping, allow campers to pitch their tents in private spots within the park with no facilities and no other campers. This rare experience is only available in Murchison Falls National Park and comes with a permit fee of USD 40 per person per night.

6. Guidebooks and Apps for Campground Information

For comprehensive information on campgrounds in Uganda, the Bradt Travel Guide, which can be purchased in any bookshop around Kampala, is a valuable resource. Additionally, downloading free apps like Maps.me and iOverlander before your journey allows you to navigate and locate campsites efficiently.

7. Camping Near Water and Hippos

If you plan to camp near a river, be cautious of animal paths, particularly hippo trails. Hippos leave the water at night to graze along these paths. Avoid setting up your camp between hippos and the water, as frightened hippos may run towards the water, posing a potential hazard.

8. Choosing the Right Campsite Location

When selecting a spot to set up your camp, avoid thorn trees, as they can be problematic, especially with airbeds. Additionally, consider the proximity to animal paths, water sources, and the overall safety of the location.

9. Responsible Rubbish Disposal

To minimize the impact on the environment and avoid attracting animals, it’s crucial to dispose of rubbish responsibly. Never leave food in your tent, and if there are no bins available, pack your rubbish and take it away with you in the car.

10. Camping Gear Rental Options

For those considering a road trip in Uganda, renting camping gear is a convenient option. Car rental options include rooftop tents or ground tents, with different pricing structures. Ensure that your chosen vehicle is compatible with the type of tent you prefer.

Hiring Camp Gear for Your Uganda Safari

Car Rental in Uganda offers the option to outfit your rental vehicle with camping gear, including rooftop tents or ground tents. The Landcruiser models can be equipped with a rooftop tent. The rental includes a comprehensive set of quality camping gear, such as tents, mattresses, blankets or sleeping bags, chairs, a cool box, cooking equipment, and more.

Rooftop Tent Camping with an Electric Fridge

For those opting to hire a fridge, it’s important to note that electrical fridges are available for 4×4 Landcruisers car rentals at an additional cost of $5 per day. However, due to the sensitive nature of fridge wiring and piping, no field repairs are provided.

Popular Campsites to Station Your Car Rental with Rooftop Tent

For those seeking recommendations on the best campsites in Uganda, here are five noteworthy options:

1. Nagusokopire Campsite, Kidepo Valley National Park: Experience the sounds of roaring lions in the background for a truly immersive camping experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I rented a car from Car Rental Uganda for three weeks in August 2024.
We were picked up at the airport at 04.00 in the morning as agreed. We paid for the car hire for our trip in cash in dollars against a receipt. We signed a contract with each other.
Fortunately, we never had a breakdown. In the end, we returned the car to Entebbe.
We are happy to recommend this friendly and competent company.
Everything went according to plan.
Very reliable and trustworthy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Based in London, England, we wanted to book a car with a driver for four days to take us around various places in Uganda. Searched on Google and found Car Rental Uganda. Mr Kayima, was our initial contact who understood our requirements and made the booking process very smooth. We were picked-up from Entebbe airport and travelled to Jinja, Kakira, Lugazi and Kampala, after four days we returned to the airport. Our driver, Richard, was very kind, courteous and knowledgeable, kept us feeling 'at home' during the four days. Richard's company was great and made our Uganda trip a memorable one. I would definitely use and recommend Car Rental Uganda, again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my companion had designed our itinerary and we had a desire if venturing some good spaces. But we were left without a traveling mean. That's when my fellow worker came up with an ideology of booking with Car Rental Uganda. But from day one, upto our last day, they were cooperative, responsible and accurate.
Nevertheless,of the renowned potholes in some local communities were we passed, we unfortunately got a tyre puncture! We were stuck, and that's when I texted Ashraf, took further responsibilities..and contacted to the mechanical team. In less than an hour, the matter was resolved.
So our self drive journey came to an end without getting inconveniences. I there by appreciate their services..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trying to make a profit from the health of its customers!
Initially, communication with Kayima was good and I was assured that the car was in perfect condition and that we could drive into the country without any worries. The car was delivered with 3 good tires and one completely worn-out tire, which happened to be mounted on the left rear axle so I might not see it (picture). After some discussion, I was assured that, contrary to what is stated in the contract, I'm not responsible for this tire. Despite this, we had problems at every police check and had to pay small fines, which we only got partially refunded. Next time we will look for a reputable and professional car rental company.

Edit:
Describing the tire pictured as "just old" shows how unprofessional and dishonest this company is. No sign of admission of guilt or apology.

The contract was filled in and signed with the amount of 260€
3 days after you had the idea to increase the renting rate instead of returning the police fines.
