Can I Self-Drive in Kampala?
Yes — self-driving in Kampala is completely legal and increasingly popular among tourists and residents alike. Here's what you typically need:
- A valid driving license — an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended for foreign visitors, alongside your national license.
- Minimum age requirement — usually 23–25 years, depending on the rental company.
- A refundable security deposit, held until the vehicle is returned in good condition.
- Comfort with local driving conditions — Kampala traffic can be busy, with boda bodas (motorcycle taxis) weaving through lanes, so a bit of caution goes a long way, especially during rush hour (7–9 AM and 5–7 PM).
Roads within the city are generally paved and manageable, while routes to national parks may involve rougher terrain — a 4x4 is recommended for those trips.
