Able to travel this Christmas? All your questions answered

Image
  Last year’s Christmas certainly wasn’t what we’d asked Father Christmas for. With rising infection rates from new variants, plans were abandoned, travel curtailed and many people all over the world stayed at home as the tier system changed lock down rules. Stay home was the message – although a special Christmas was arranged just for 25 December, allowing some people in certain countries to see friends and family. Some of us even took the tree out to the garden and opened presents there. But how will we celebrate this year? Will you be able to travel this Christmas ? either home to family or out in the uganda wilderness safaris to enjoy the nature once again after the covid-19 infections taking on the whole world.  With new variants coming up at the same time of Christmas celebrations like last year. Did you know? Christmas is the most celebrated day all over the world. Nothing beats the vibes of ...

Image
    Travelers though of moving out in their houses now after the covid -19 relief. But did you know that car rental prices are very much going up instead. If you are booking travel, you might very much surprise if your travel plans involve renting a car. Allot has happen during these last two years when travel business seemed to be on hold. Many car rental agencies have sold off their fleet and some even out of business completely? And another thing all these large car rental agencies we know for cheap car rentals in Uganda do not own the cars.

Travel expectations vs. reality:

  Travel expectations vs. reality: Posted on November 3, 2021 by autorentaluganda   Travel can be fascinating and at the same time be a wild dream. We’ve all seen those beautiful, postcard-perfect pictures of different safari destinations on the internet that made us start thinking which photos we’ll have printed and hung on our walls when we come back home. The high built travel expectations on our future trips Most of us build up high vacation expectations for our future trips while we go through guidebooks choosing which places to visit. You look for the best restaurants in Uganda to eat and sleep. But in reality, will this be happening when you are on a budget safari in Kenya? No this realy happens, because we expect these safari destinations like the gorillas of Rwanda are not as cheap as what we think. More often than not, what we see in real life looks nothing like that postcard picture we saw before the trip...

Are car rental deals safe during COVID-19?

Image
    Uganda car rental agencies have come up with stringent car rental rules and guideline to follow while renting their cars. Giving us a clear assurance theta the car rental deals are safe and clean for hire in Uganda on self-drive safari. To reassure yourself, you should also take a look at small details for hints. Try moving with your own sanitizer and disinfectants to clean the car after it being handed over The virus is known to settle in some places for hours, meaning if it was last rent ended yesterday there is a possibility of it still having some. However her in Uganda you cannot have a rental car immediately when it has been used by the client. Dusty roads and bumpy roads call for general cleaning and mechanical repairs and checking before any other client or traveller can use it. The car will surely be clean and fumigated before you get it. But you might want to ask when the last person was in the car to give yourself an added sense of sec...

Chimpanzee Human's Closest Animal

Image
  Every 14 July we celebrate our closet relatives in the world, the chimpanzee. They are worth a chance if you get to know them better. We and chimpanzees share more than 98 percent of DNA. This typically means we are just the same. Chimpanzees not only have the same visible personalities like humans, but also have strong social structures and bonds just like those of humans.   They stay and live in families that are so close to each other. Bonding, eating and moving together, showing emotions when they are sad and happy.   Did you know they do hag, kiss, shake fists and pat one another as a sign of gratitude or communicating their feeling to one another.  A chimp can mourn a death of its child for days while group members will be seen around supporting the mother. However much we love and try preserving these cousins of ours, some people still see them as wild animals and chose to do otherwise. They are Threatened Species; with only 350,000 ex...

African countries have perturbed between locking down (some, for a second time) and announcing plans to reopen to international travelers for self drive tours.
