Freedom-
When you choose the self drive option, be assured of you will travel at your own pace avoiding the fixed itinerary of guided tour or public bus. You can travel anywhere at any time of the day with no limitations giving you chance to visit shopping malls, restaurants, bars or any other place you find interesting along the way.

Choose your own travel dates–
Scheduled tours can limit you to specific activities at particular dates which is very boring given the wide range of things to do in Uganda. So when you decide to travel on your own, you could always adjust dates based on what you prefer to do at a specific time.

Choose places and activities you want–
One of the best advantages of self drive tour in Uganda is that it offers you a chance to visit only places of your interest. A scheduled trip is fixed to certain places hence you may miss out on other destinations you might have enjoyed. Whether it’s a park or a popular tourist attraction around the city, you can visit that place any time you feel like because you are driving yourself.

Privacy
Self driving is the most private and convenient way to travel around the country. You won’t have to share your holiday with strangers but instead you will be on the road with people you know, it could be your family, friends or group mates.  You will get chance to interact and bond with people you have been with before giving you a memorable experience

Go to places public taxis can’t reach-
If you are staying at an apartment, hotel or residence that is far from the city or main road, you won’t have to worry about being dropped off far from your place when you have your own car. Not only can you drive through narrow roads, you can also take shortcuts and avoid traffic jam which isn’t the case with public transport.  Some taxis don’t operate beyond 12pm and so if you are into night partying  and clubs, this would be the best option for your convenience.
