Adventurous drive during our 5 days family retreat to the West with our tour Guide Kennedy in a 9 Seater Safari Van. Enjoyed game drives in Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo National parks that was well cleaned. Recommend to the owner to always inspect the seat belts for all seats in such bigger vans as 2 - 3 were a bit faulty.

I have visited Murchison Falls , Lake Mburo, Queen Elizabeth and many more National Parks all thanks to the professional guidance and hospitality from Gorilla Hub and Self Drive 4*4 Uganda. The rates are also reasonable and indeed I had lots of fun. I never knew Uganda has so much beauty until I started travelling. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. Looking forward to another trip soon...
