Comme tous les ans à la même époque, nous voici en pleine réflexion sur notre itinéraire... Cette année nous partons 3 semaines en Ouganda et Rwanda pour un self-drive 4x4 et voici l'itinéraire que nous comptons enprunter, T4A toujours en support... Alors voilà si vous avez des commentaires, conseils, expériences à partager et autres suggestions, n'hésitez pas, cela nous serait d'une grande aide ! Merci à vous,
Nico

Je te conseillerai d'aller voir le site http://tawanablog.com/ il est super bien fait avec pleins de renseignements sur le voyage que tu compte faire.
As tu pensé à réserver ton permis gorille?
J'espère t'avoir un tout petit peu aidé
Bon voyage
Cet itinéraire ressemble pas mal à celui que nous avions fait en 2012 🙂 Alors voilà, ce que je peux en dire par rapport à notre propre expérience sur les parties que je connais :
Jour 1: Frankfort - Entebbe
- Récupération véhicule réservé chez Alpha Rent-a-car
- Nuit à Entebbe ou Kampala ?
Entebbe est plus tranquille que Kampala où la circulation est assez infernale. Mais c'est aussi moins rigolo du coup 😉
Jour 2: Entebbe - Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
- Achats cartes à Department of Lands and Surveys (QENP, MFNP) à Entebbe
- Stop à Kampala ?
- Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary
- Rhino tracking le soir si possible - Besoin de réserver ?
- Camping
Pas besoin de réserver à l'avance les rhino tracking. Vous pouvez le faire en arrivant. Passez notre bonjour à Obama l'intrépide 😉
Jour 3: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary - Murchison
- Rhino tracking si impossible le soir
- Masindi: besoin de réserver le Nile Launch Trip de Murchison Falls (UWA office) ?
- Route de l'ouest le long du Albert Lake - Entré parc via Bugungu Gate
- Achat tickets ferry jours suivants à Paraa ?
- Nuit au sud du Nil - Confortable camping au Murchinson River Lodge
Si le budget le permet, c'est sympa d'aller voir les rhino le soir ET le matin ... 😉
Le Nile Launch Trip doit être réservable sur place, à Paraa
Il est possible d'acheter les billets pour le ferry le soir pour le lendemain matin mais pas plus à l'avance. Faites-le néanmoins, il y a du monde le matin.
Jour 4: Murchinson Falls National Parc
- Premier Ferry at 7 am
- Visite partie nord du parc, zone de Buligi, falaises de Nyamsika
- Ferry retour au sud + nuit camping Red Chilli Rest Camp
Le camping du Red Chili Camp n'est pas géniale mais très peu cher. Le bloc sanitaire est en très mauvais état mais vous pourrez utiliser celui qui est de l'autre côté de la piste. Le soir, l'ambiance au bar est très sympa.
Jour 6: Murchison Falls - Kibale Forest
- Essence à Paraa et\ou Masindi
- Via Hoima et Kagadi
- Courses à Fort Portal
- Camping au primate lodge
Attention, journée ambitieuse. Si vous voulez vraiment rejoindre le primate lodge en une journée depuis Paraa, partez surtout à l'aube. Mais même ainsi, ce sera un véritable marathon ... Les pistes sont difficiles et il y a du monde partout (gaffe aux enfants !). Pas sur que vous arriviez à temps pour faire des courses à Fort Portal (et le Primate lodge est encore à 1h30 de là, plus si la nuit est tombée ......). Bref, un début de matinée sur les pistes de Murchison + une étape à Hoima, c'est vraiment mieux. Et le lendemain, vous pourrez mieux profiter des paysages très chouette de cette région.
Sinon, l'essence sera bien moins chère à Masindi et la station se trouve de l'autre coté de la rivière par rapport au Red Chili Camp (donc à prendre la veille plutôt pour ne pas perdre de temps au ferry).
Jour 7: Kibale Forest - Chimpanzee Tracking
- Besoin de reserver les Permis (2*150 USD) ? Si oui comment faire ?
- Camping au primate lodge
Le camping est rudimentaire mais il y a de l'eau chaude 🙂 C'est appréciable parce que Kibale est particulièrement humide et frisquet le soir. Attention aux babouins fouineurs !
Jour 8: Kibale Forest - Queen Elizaneth NP
- Ndali-Kasenta Crater Lakes via Kasisi, Rwaihamba et Kabata
- Cratère de Nyamanyuke
- Kasese (courses, essence, espèces)
- Monument Equateur
- QENP via Kabatoro Gate (crater drive)
- Visite parc
- Launch trip ~2 hrs (25 USD pp)
- Channel drive et autour 2-3 hrs
- Katwe (flamingoes, salt lake and viewpoint)
- Ou trouver une carte détaillée du parc ?
- Camping publique Mweya
Je ferais mes courses à Fort Portal plutôt qu'à Kasese ?
La route est bonne entre Fort Portal et Mweya. Si mes souvenirs sont bons, vous trouverez des cartes à l'entrée du parc.
Côté camping, si vous aimez l'ambiance bushcamp en solitaire, allez dans l'un des 2 camps du bas, en veillant à prendre du bois auprès de l'intendant du camp principal 🙂 Sinon, en haut, c'est plus confortable (douche) mais nettement moins authentique (avec nombreux overlanders).
Jour 9: QENP - Ishasha
- Channel drive
- Kasenyi plains - Importante population de lions
- Kyambura Gorge - Forêts et Chimps
- Route pour Ishasha (2h30)
- Nuit en Camping
Ishasha est beaucoup plus chouette que Kasenyi mais c'est un avis très personnel 😉
Jour 10: Ishasha - Lac Bunyonyi
- Visite tôt le matin - lion arboricoles
- Route pour lac Bunyuni ~6h de trajet
- Option 1 - Contournement Bwindi via Ntungama et Rubare (safe mais long)
- Option 2 - Passage à l'est de Bwindi via Kanungu (état de la piste à verifier) - detour par Bwindi (Ruhija) pour photos
- Nuit en B&B
Deuxième journée de route un peu marathon, partez bien encore à la première lueur du jour ! La route de Kabale est celle que prennaient tous les guides que nous avons rencontrés au cours du voyage et à qui nous avons raconté notre expérience de la forest road 😄. Je crois que c'est un peu monotone et gravillonneux mais ça roule. Le détour par Ruhija peut par contre couter très cher en temps.
Du coup, vous faites l'impasse sur Bwindi ? Un de mes meilleurs souvenirs (quelle beauté !) alors j'en fais toujours un peu la promo 😉 Mais traverser Bwindi, c'est aussi prendre 2 jours pour le faire et ne pas avoir peur de la gadoue ...
Jour 13: Parc National des Volcans
- Gorilla Tracking (3-4 hrs)
- Visite Lacs Bulera et Ruhondo l'après-midi
- Nuit à Guesthouse Muhabura
Comme vous voyagez en indépendant, vous n'aurez personne pour vous aider dans la curieuse cérémonie de l'attribution des groupes de gorilles. Un conseil, arrivez tôt à Kinigi, avant tous le monde (l'endroit est très vite "envahi"!) et allez discuter avec les rangers. L'un d'entre eux devrait se proposer pour défendre votre place auprès du groupe que vous avez envie d'aller voir.
Jour 14: Parc National des Volcans - Gisenyi
- Diane Fossey - Karisoke Treck (50 USD pp)
- Nuit à Gisenyi - Inzu lodge - Lazy camping
Vous ferez des gratouilles aux chats ? 🙂 Le personnel du Inzu Lodge est adorable, n'hésitez pas à leur demander des conseils pour la visite de la région et de la ville.
C'est là que nos chemins se séparent !
A bientôt 🙂
PS : Alors du coup, j'ai quand même super hâte que vous soyez revenus pour nous raconter !!
Nous avons parcouru un itinéraire voisin de ton projet en septembre 2012: Ouganda, Rwanda...
Nous ne sommes pas des photographes animaliers (On n'est pas des photographes tout court!), contrairement à Sitaëlle qui présente de supers clichés...😉
Toutefois, si tu le souhaites, tu pourras consulter nos impressions du moment sur notre blog: Kampala, Murchinson avec le Red Chilli, Fort Fortal , Chimp trek forêt de Kibale, Bunyonyi (magnifique!), Gyseni, Kibuye et le lac Kivu, lieux de mémoire du Génocide, Butare, Kigali....
Nous envisageons un voyage avec nos deux filles de 14 et 12 ans au Rwanda et en Tanzanie. L'idée de départ est d'atterrir à Kigali et de repartir de Dar El…
Je suis actuellement en fin de préparation d'un voyage de 15jours début juillet, en Ouganda avec un bref passage au Rwanda. Il s'agit d'un circuit un peu…
Je suis passionnée par les animaux et j'ai un rêve depuis très longtemps: voir les gorilles de montagne... Gorilles dans la brume sur l'histoire de Dian Fossey…
Nous sommes deux et voudrions découvrir le rwanda en louant un 4x4 (sans chauffeur) comment trouver les agences de location de 4x4? merci pour vos infos
Avec ma famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants) nous préparons un voyage au Rwanda du 22/04 au 03/05. Dans ce cadre la, nous souhaiterions louer un véhicule 4X4 avec…
Hi there,
I’m planning a trip to Russia and Mongolia, starting from France.
Crossing the border at Poland/Belarus or Georgia/Russia—other borders seem either closed or complicated.
Tourist visas for 3 months with multiple entries.
Do you have any info on Russian companies that cover a 4x4 vehicle for 3 months, and what prices in rubles or euros you’ve paid?
Which bank did you use for expenses? (EuroMastercard and Visa cards no longer work.)
Regarding Russian SIM cards, a new system called "Gosuslugi" has been introduced. How long did it take you to get one, and what steps did you follow?
Hi,
we’re planning to visit a park again.
Could you point us toward the camps in Gonarezhou Park?
>We’re traveling completely self-sufficiently.
We love wildlife.
Thanks for any tips you can share!
JP
Hi there, we’ll be in Mozambique in early December 2026 and we’d like to travel from Vilanculos to Beira by car or bus to reach Beira airport. After that, we’re planning to visit Gorongosa National Park before flying back to France from Beira. From what we’ve heard, the road to Beira is tricky, especially at this time of year (start of the rainy season). Could anyone share their thoughts or suggest a solution? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi there,
I’m heading to Lesotho in a few days and I’m struggling to find info on the best route between Katse Dam and Sehlathebe National Park. There’s a fairly "direct" route from Thaba Tseka, but the roads seem rough, and we’re not exactly 4x4 pros. Anyone have any tips to share? Thanks!
Hi everyone,
We’re heading to Mozambique in October and are looking for either a 4x4 or 4x2 rental in Maputo, or a driver transfer option to reach:
- Ponta Do Ouro
- Tofo
- Vilankulos
The idea is to be self-sufficient for sightseeing and stops while still being able to access certain lodges or beaches that require a 4x2.
Do you have any contacts, addresses, or ideas to share?
Thanks in advance,
Hello,
We're hitting the road again in 2027 to discover new countries and cultures.
Could anyone give me some tips on driving from Ulaanbaatar to Lake Baikal and the route to take?
Thanks, and safe travels to those who are setting off!
We’re planning a 4x4 trip from Belgium to Central Asia, passing through Georgia, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.
For these countries, our national insurance obviously doesn’t cover the vehicle, so we’ll need to get local insurance.
Will it be a problem if the vehicle is registered under person A and the national insurance is under person B? Both A and B will be in the vehicle, and both will be listed as drivers on the insurance.
When we get the local insurance, if we again list A and B as drivers, does the order matter? Could we get stuck at the border for this reason?
Hi,
For those who’ve driven on Iceland’s gravel roads in their own or a rented Duster, could you tell me what tires were fitted on the vehicle?
Were they All Terrain tires or more "standard" ones like all-season tires, for example?
Follow-up question: if they were "standard" tires, did that cause any issues on the gravel roads and rough terrain?
Thanks so much for any info you can share.
Best,
Marc
Hi there,
I'm planning a 4x4 road trip from Darwin to Broome with a rooftop tent in July 2026.
I'd like to know if I need to book overnight stops in advance or if I can just wing it and stop wherever I feel like it?
Some evenings, we'd like to stop and make use of campsite facilities (restaurant, shop, showers, toilets).
What do you recommend?
Do I need a permit?
My rough itinerary looks like this:
Darwin - Kakadu
Kakadu - Nitmiluk
Nitmiluk - Kununurra
Kununurra - Purnululu
Purnululu - El Questro
El Questro - Mt Elizabeth - Bell Gorge - Broome
I’m planning a trip to Iceland for next July-August, with a car and tent, and I’m wondering about booking campsites.
From your experience, is it necessary or even essential to book campsites in advance, or do you always manage to find a spot to pitch your tent?
We’ll also have the option to sleep in the car without pitching the tent.
Does that give us the flexibility to stay outside a campsite for a night here and there?
Hi,
I’m planning a road trip in the Middle Atlas, starting and ending in Fez and heading down to the south of Midelt, the Assoul Massif.... We’ll be traveling with two small 4x4s.
I’m looking for detailed maps of this region that include small roads and tracks.
Last year, we had a fantastic road trip in the Anti-Atlas and High Atlas using Erfahren maps, but unfortunately, they don’t cover the area we’re interested in this year.
Thanks for your suggestions!

We’re planning a 13-day family road trip in Morocco this July, with six people in a Toyota Prado 4x4 (renting in Marrakech).
We’ll alternate between bivouacking and small hotels/riads depending on the stops.
Here’s the planned route (in this order):
Marrakech
→ Ouarzazate
→ Draa Valley
→ Zagora
→ Erg Chegaga
→ Lake Iriki
→ Foum Zguid
→ Tata
→ Tafraoute
→ Aït Mansour
→ Tiznit
→ Mirleft
→ Taroudant
→ Back to Marrakech
Our goal:
Atlas Mountains + desert + dunes + plateaus + valleys + a bit of coastline.
We’ll cover about 1,700 km in total.
We’re planning:
Bivouacking in the Chegaga/Iriki area
Flexible for the rest (booking the day before or same day)
Sand gear: traction plates, compressor, tow strap, roof rack
Questions:
Is the Zagora → Chegaga → Iriki → Foum Zguid crossing in July doable on our own (single vehicle, no guide)?
Are there any truly technical or risky sections between Chegaga and Iriki?
Does the overall itinerary seem manageable in 13 days without rushing?
Any suggestions for great bivouac spots or particularly interesting stops along this route?
The points on the route are provisional overnight stops. Some spots will include two nights in the same area.
We’re used to off-road driving, but not yet in the Moroccan desert.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and tips! 😊
Good evening
I could use some advice 🙂
Our trip to Namibia is planned for June/July 2026.
We’re struggling a bit with timing and choosing activities for the part of the trip between Sesriem and Brandberg.
Day 1: Sesriem to Mirabib
Day 2: Mirabib to Swakopmund – visit Swakopmund, overnight in Swakopmund
Day 3: Sandwich Harbour – overnight in Swakopmund
Day 4: Kayaking with the seals + the living dunes – overnight in Swakopmund
Day 5: Moon Landscape, Henties Bay + Cape Cross – overnight at White Lady Lodge in Brandberg
Does this itinerary seem realistic to you? Is Cape Cross really worth the trip? If I had to choose between Cape Cross and kayaking with the seals, which would you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your help!

My son and I are heading to Georgia this summer to explore the High Caucasus (Svaneti, Kazbek, and Tusheti regions). For this, we’re planning to rent a 4x4.
However, the rental agencies we’ve found prohibit driving on the tracks to Omalo (Tusheti) and/or Ushguli (Svaneti).
Do you know of any agencies in Tbilisi (local and reliable) that allow rented 4x4s to drive on these tracks? If so, which ones?
Hi everyone,
I’m starting to plan an itinerary for September 2027 focused on Zimbabwe and Zambia. I’d love to visit Gonarezhou National Park—I see there are two sectors: the Mwenezi Region in the south and the area around the Runde River in the north. Should I cover both sectors or just focus on the northern region?
For the parks along the Zambezi River, is it better to visit Mana Pools on the Zimbabwe side or Lower Zambezi on the Zambia side?
Thanks in advance for any tips on the parks in these two countries.
Have a great day, everyone.
We’re spending 18 days in New Zealand from 05/04 to 05/21, arriving in QUEENSTOWN and leaving from AUCKLAND.
Any ideas for a road trip that covers the highlights of both islands but only changes hotels every 3–4 nights?
Thanks.
For our trip to Georgia in July, I’d like to rent a 4x4 starting from Tbilisi.
Do you have any rental companies to recommend?
The traditional rentals like Hertz, Avis, etc. seem way overpriced compared to local companies—what do you think? Are they properly insured?
Has anyone here tried Geo Rent Car, Auto 4 Rental, or Sur Price?
Also, I’m looking for info on the condition of the Ushguli–Lentekhi track—is it passable?
Hi everyone,
A well-prepped 4x4, a travel plan across Africa in stages since I’ve got kids to see regularly and work to earn a living.
I’m leaving in November for about a month with the goal of reaching Senegal via Mauritania. I’d love to share this trip with someone who wants to discover Mauritania and a bit of Senegal... and also experience life on board a 4x4 in the desert or bush, sometimes sleeping in the vehicle or in hostels/small hotels for comfort. I want to share this rediscovery because two’s better than one!
Just traveling, exploring, and living! !
I’m planning to explore Argentine and Chilean Patagonia for a month in December 2019.
I’m looking for a rental company (or several) that offers single-cab 4x4 pick-ups with a fitted camper cell for two people. I’m specifically after a vehicle with an indoor shower for extra comfort ;)
So, no vans—at least not from the rental companies I’ve seen so far.
While browsing the forum, I came across the Chilean rental company Holiday Rent. But do you have any recommendations for Argentine rentals?
Because, if I can’t return the vehicle in the same city as pickup, I’d prefer—and it’d likely be cheaper—to at least return it in the same country.
I’m traveling through Argentina and Chile (as well as Paraguay and Uruguay) with a 2019 Toyota Hilux Euro 6. Could anyone tell me if the local diesel is suitable for its engine, or if I need to take any special precautions (like adding an additive, for example) for these countries?
I’d also like to know if driving at high altitudes is possible, and up to what elevation—or if I should worry about the vehicle going into limp mode?
If that happens, what should I do?
Hi there,
Can you tell me if the road between Zagora and M'Gouna is easy or difficult for a 4x4? How much time and how many kilometers should I plan for? I’m traveling in May.
Thanks!
Hi there,
My trip to South Africa is starting to take shape.
However, I'm struggling to figure out the route through Kruger Park. I can't seem to find the information I need about getting around.
Coming from the south, I plan to arrive on Day 1 in the early afternoon at Malelane or Crocodile Bridge.
Do some shopping in Malelane (or Crocodile Bridge main area) and stay overnight outside the park.
Leave on Day 2 at 5 AM for the park. Explore the southern part of the park.
Stay overnight around Skukuza or Lower Sabie. (We don’t want to stay in one of the park’s big camps. We’re looking for a lodge around 200 €.
Head out on Day 3 for a self-drive safari, maybe as far as Orpen.
We’d like to stay in a private reserve on nights 4 and 5.
We’re not sure which one or how to get into a private reserve. Do we need to exit Kruger Park?
On Day 5, we’d like to leave to visit Blyde Canyon (on Day 6).
I’m planning to leave Morocco for the summer but want to leave my 4x4 there to avoid exceeding the famous 6-month limit. I’d like to park it in one of the two Spanish enclaves (Ceuta or Melilla).
Does anyone know of people or companies that handle long-term parking (preferably secure) in either place?
Once the car is parked, what’s the best way to get back to France using public transport?
Is the nearest airport Tanger from Ceuta?...
How do I get there easily, etc. etc.
hello! I’d like to go to Kazakhstan and rent a fitted 4x4 locally so I can drive off-road trails and sleep inside the vehicle... could anyone share some local rental company addresses, please? Thanks! !
I'm about to rent a self-drive 4x4 in Mongolia. Has anyone heard of GOBI.RENT?
Otherwise, do you have any tips for checking this company since there's no info on their website (e.g., registration number on the RCS)?
I’m finalizing my trip starting from Namibia.
When I arrive in Divundu, I’d like to head straight to the Khwai area early in the morning to one of the campsites in the Khwai Development Trust. Is the drive doable with a good 4x4 in a day?
We’ll spend 2 nights in Khwai, then 2 or maybe 3 nights in the Moremi area (Third Bridge/Xakanaxa/Mboma) before heading back to Maun to wrap up our journey.
Is that too much time to spend in each place?
We’d also like to do one or two boat excursions in the delta. Any suggestions for the best options and operators?
Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!
Best,
Patrick
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to explore the western part of Madagascar from May 1st to 5th, specifically to visit the Tsingy. I’ve heard different versions about the road conditions and access to the Tsingy during this time, so I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually made this trip during this time of year.
Have you traveled from Morondava → Tsingy between May 1st and 5th?
Was the journey doable and safe?
Did you have access to the Grands Tsingy, or just the Petits Tsingy?
Thanks so much for your feedback—it’ll really help me get a clearer picture! 😊
Also, if you have any recommendations for reliable and experienced driver-guides, I’d love to hear them.
Thanks again!
