4×4 Safari Van

For group travel ventures, a 4×4 safari van is a perfect car to hire in Uganda. This minibus carries a maximum of 10 people including a driver and nine passengers. It is the commonest vehicle used by tourists in a group visiting the national parks in the country.  Out of the ten safari vehicles encountered in the national parks on a game drive, two are safari vans. The 10-seat minibus is a budget rental car with a hiring value of 70$ per day for self drive and 100$ for hiring it with a driver.
