Rooftop tent camping represents an increasingly popular and exhilarating option for self-drive safaris across Africa. This experience is ideal for adventurous travelers eager to immerse themselves in the African wilderness. Opting for camping safaris in countries like Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania not only enhances the adventure but also provides a cost-effective travel solution. Our fleet includes 4×4 vehicles equipped for camping, accommodating up to four people with two rooftop tents. These camping safaris offer one of the most fulfilling ways to explore Africa, as nearly all locations in Rwanda and throughout East Africa feature a range of campsites, from budget-friendly to luxurious. Engaging in camping safaris allows for a deeper connection with nature and the surrounding wildlife. Rooftop tent camping offers flexibility, allowing you to choose between established camping sites or safari lodges, though a fee may apply if you bring your camping equipment.
4×4 Rooftop Tent Car – Camping Safaris in Rwanda
Rooftop tents offer a highly comfortable option for accommodation, designed to be waterproof even in heavy rain and easy to assemble. Weighing under 70 kilograms, they do not compromise the performance of the vehicle. Camping with rooftop tents is categorized into three types: those for two people, three people, and family-sized tents. A two-person rooftop tent can be rented with a 4×4 vehicle, such as a Prado Land Cruiser. In contrast, family tents and those accommodating three or four individuals should be paired with a more robust 4×4, like a VX or GX 70 series, to minimize potential damage to the suspension.
