Drove around Kampala and then to Kabale. Had best Experience ever.
These guys are real proffessionals in this industry. In their office in Najanankumbi- Kampala, all welcoming and giving info about the cars and best places to visit in Uganda.
They check the car with you before you take it and keep in touch all throughout your movements..
I do recommend these guys for car renting/services for all while in Uganda.

Highly recommended
We hired a Rav4 from Self Drive Uganda and would highly recommend using them! The email support was fantastic before we left for our trip and Moses was very helpful and patient with me and all the questions I asked! He also helped me plan our route and recommended places we hadn't thought to go to.
We hired the Rav4 for 3 weeks and the car was perfect for Ugandan roads! We brought our own tent and bought camp cooking gear when we got there - Moses took us to a well-stocked supermarket in Kampala, and then we set off and visited Murchison Falls NP, Jinja, Queens Elizabeth NP, Ishasha, Izizi Falls, Bwindi, Lake Buyoni, Lake Mburo NP and Mabamba Swamp.
We loved Uganda and felt very safe. People are so friendly! The roads were a mixture of good tarmac, bad tarmac and potholes, mud roads and gravel roads. Beautiful scenery along the way so the drives are not dull at all!
The car was also great for game driving because it was quiet for geting close to wildlife, and it had a sunroof so you can pop up and get a better view!
On the way to do our gorliia trek, we had to drive through some crazy boggy roads, and the Rav4 managed it with ease (also my Husbands good 4x4 driving skills!!), whereas a huge 4x4 behind us got stuck!!!
Highly recommend using Self Drive Uganda for your car hire!

Great service + reliable car
Moses was wonderful to work with -- prompt, honest, and courteous. I requested a car to be dropped off to me at 6am the day of the 2016 elections, and it was delivered on-time and easily.
The Rav4 worked out great. Comfortable car to drive and no problems despite the heat and travel time from Entebbe to Fort Portal. Returning it was easy as well.
I didn't end up using the GPS (it didn't seem to work well with the locations I was entering in), but I had few problems getting around.
Very lovely, seamless experience. Would rent again!
The service and the quality of the cars are good
The service is great but it is recommended to check everything before driving as we found, when a wheel punciones, that the spare wheel was in bad conditions.
straightforward, flexible, it all works and that is all we need
and that is all we need to say, isn't it? and the rest of what I write here is just to fill the space remaining

Around Uganda in self drive
We rented for 22 days for our self-drive trip around Uganda a Landcruiser Prado TZ. We are very happy about our rent at Self drive Uganda, the car was in good conditions, we drive around all country for 3.500 km. and we haven't any problem. Drive in Uganda road is easy ( only in Kampala is difficult) and safe , we visited some national parks, little villages, Uganda people are very friendly and lovely. We want send many thanks to Moses and Billy for assistance about delivery and return car.

reliable, good service, good car
Before our trip we'd very nice contact with Moses; he gave me all the answers we needed. He was very patient.
On day one our first car was broke but in a few hours they brought us a new car wich drove us everywhere.
No flat tires!
The car was good for 2 adults ond 1 child and all the campinggear.
The campinggear was basic but enough.

Once in a lifetime opportunity!
Self Drive Uganda provided us with a well-loved, but fairly sturdy RAV4 for our 9 day road trip. They dropped it off the day before and picked it up the day after we got back, essentially giving us an additional two nights free. They were easy to contact, professional and offered the best rates. While I was initially hesitant to hire a car and go ourselves, I would now struggle to go with a driver or tour group, the freedom we had was just wonderful! Thank you for the great adventure that truly surpassed my expectations!

Self driving in Uganda is great!
I made a self driving tour for three weeks all around Uganda with a car from Self Drive Uganda. The car was great and reliable. It was an old (but very robust) Rav 4 that managed all the roads without any problem.
Also the service is very good. I got my car directly on the airport. Billy made the paperworks and showed me the roads of Entebbe early in the morning. He also gave me some tips about the ferry, where to go and so on. A very nice guy!
The tour itself was amazing. I was absolutely free what to do and see. For some game drives I hired a guide who spotted animals and sights while I could concentrate on driving and taking pictures. It is really easy to drive here although some roads are really rough and it is very dusty. As single European self driver I was known immediately everywhere ant it was really fun to talk to people I met during my journey.
Also returning the car was very uncomplicated. Moses picked it up at the gusethouse. There was no hassle, everything was fine with the car and the guys. I think it was a good decision to chose them. They are reliable, very kind and - very important - local!
