Top Requirements For Cross Border Car Rental In Uganda

When embarking on a cross-border car rental journey in East Africa, proper documentation is crucial. You’ll need a valid passport and necessary visas for the countries you plan to visit. Additionally, carry a letter of authority from the Uganda car rental company permitting you to take the vehicle across borders. An international driver’s permit or a recognized national driver’s license is also essential.

Your rental vehicle must meet specific requirements for cross-border travel. Ensure it has a COMESA sticker, which can be obtained from the COMESA officer in Kabale in person or through our company. A border crossing fee ranging from US% 50 to 60 is a must for crossing to Rwanda, Kenya or Tanzania. Comprehensive insurance coverage is crucial, and you may need to obtain additional insurance for cross-border travel

Don’t forget to carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, as it’s required for entry into many African countries. Pack an adequate supply of necessary medications and consider bringing a first-aid kit. For emergencies in areas with spotty cellular reception, a satellite communication device like a BAR SOS can be a lifesaver

Rwanda

Just 445km from Kampala to the Katuna-Gatuna border, Rwanda is a compact country packed with natural beauty and poignant history. The country’s main draw is Volcanoes National Park, home to endangered mountain gorillas. In the capital, Kigali, visit the moving Genocide Memorial to understand Rwanda’s past and its remarkable journey of reconciliation. Nature enthusiasts will also appreciate the diverse wildlife in Akagera National Park & Nyungwe forest.

Tanzania

Tanzania offers a diverse range of experiences, from wildlife safaris to tropical island getaways. The drive from Kampala to Dar es Salaam is approximately 1,679km, so it’s advisable to split the journey over two days. Key attractions include the vast Serengeti National Park, the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater, and the picturesque Zanzibar archipelago. For the adventurous, a trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, is an unforgettable experience.

Kenya

For those seeking wildlife encounters and beach relaxation, Kenya is an excellent choice. The journey from Kampala to the Busia border is a relatively short 195km, making it an easy cross-border trip. Once in Kenya, you can explore the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, known for its annual wildebeest migration. Don’t miss the chance to visit the bustling capital of Nairobi or unwind on the pristine beaches of Mombasa.
