Uganda rewards a vehicle with real strength and calm comfort. The Nissan Patrol delivers both. You sit high with a clear view. The cabin stays quiet as Kampala traffic shifts around you. On the highway the Patrol holds a steady line and brakes with control. When the route turns to murram, ruts, or slick clay after rain, the Patrol keeps moving with measured grip and proper ground clearance. You arrive on time and in good shape.
Our fleet focuses on the modern Patrol 5 door SUV with automatic transmission. It pairs a strong chassis with advanced 4×4 systems and low range. Select units carry a petrol V8 for smooth power and a relaxed cruise. We also keep a few proven older shape Patrols for special field work, film logistics, and events. Each unit passes strict checks before handover. You get a clean vehicle, clear documents, and support that answers the phone.
Choose short term hire for airport pickups that continue to a lodge, ambassadorial movements, wedding convoys, and executive meetings. Choose long term hire for conservation teams, film crews, consulting programs, and family itineraries that link multiple parks. We offer driver guided or self-drive. Driver guided keeps stress low in city traffic and on unknown rural connectors. Self-drive suits confident clients who understand large SUVs. Tell us your plan. We will match seating, luggage, and 4×4 setup, mpola mpola where patience helps, quick when the window opens.
The Patrol is large, stable, and comfortable. Seven seats suit families and teams. Fold the third row for more cargo on safari loops. Fit a roof rack for bulky items if needed. Add a fridge, inverter, child seats, recovery kit, or tow points. We set the unit for your route and season. You leave on time with a vehicle that feels ready for real Uganda.
The Patrol’s cabin feels calm and spacious. Seats support backs and legs for long links to Fort Portal, Queen Elizabeth, and Bwindi. Dual zone or tri zone air conditioning reaches the third row through roof vents. Noise levels remain low, so people talk easily, nap, or review notes without strain.
Controls sit where hands expect them. The driving position stays relaxed for tall and short drivers. Bluetooth keeps calls hands free and music steady. Multiple USB and 12V points keep phones, a MiFi, and a fridge powered. Large windows and mirrors improve awareness in city traffic and on single carriage roads. Fit and finish feel solid and welcoming.
A day that starts on clean tarmac can end on wet clay near a gate. The Patrol’s permanent 4×4, low range, and smart traction features keep you moving with fewer wheelspins. Ground clearance protects the underbody from ruts and stones. The chassis stays composed across corrugations and patched sections. You continue mpola mpola, then pick up pace when the surface improves.
Uganda stretches distance. Kampala to Mbarara. Fort Portal to Queen. Kabale to Kisoro. The Patrol rides with a planted feel that reduces fatigue. Brakes bite predictably. Steering remains accurate at speed and calm in crosswinds. Headlights give a wide spread for early departures and late arrivals. Everyone steps out clear headed and ready for the reason you traveled.
Seven seats cover families, small teams, and VIP pairs with aides. Fold the third row to load camera cases, duffels, and a cooler box. The boot floor sits flat for tidy packing. Add a roof rack for tents or long tripods. You avoid running two vehicles for one plan, which saves fuel, drivers, and coordination time.
Single carriage roads ask for clean decisions. The Patrol delivers torque for decisive passes, then settles back into lane without weave. Strong braking and a well-balanced chassis keep speeds in check on steep sections. Hill control features assist on long descents near escarpments. The vehicle feels secure. Passengers relax. The day flows.
A comfortable cabin changes behavior. People drink water, chat, and look outside instead of fidgeting. Seats keep posture natural. Suspension tuning filters chatter from washboards and small potholes. Air conditioning reaches every row. You finish a long Masindi to Kasese day with energy to enjoy dinner and plan tomorrow’s start.
The Patrol looks professional at embassies, hotels, and boardrooms. Doors open wide for a neat exit at the kerb. The cabin welcomes VIPs with quiet and space. For weddings, the vehicle presents well in photos without shouting. Your guests feel respected. Your brand appears organized from first pickup to final drop.
Different clients prefer different styles. A professional Fern Rentals driver handles traffic, checkpoints, and tight hotel entries while you focus on people and plans. Self-drive gives full privacy and control to those who know large SUVs. Both paths include a clear orientation, route suggestions, and a contact who actually answers the phone.
Where permitted and sensible, the Patrol can tow a small trailer with gear, filming kits, or supplies. Tow points and recovery gear help with safe assistance when a convoy unit bogs down. We brief safe limits and recovery etiquette. A little planning prevents drama on clay shoulders and washed culverts.
Trips only work if the vehicle starts every morning. We service by time and hours, not guesswork. Brakes, tyres, fluids, belts, and 4×4 systems get checked before handover. Drivers complete a simple start up checklist. If a fault appears, we respond with a field fix or a swap plan. You get solutions, not long stories.
The Patrol is tough, but we respect physics. Deep water, fresh road cuts, and landslides need caution. We share safe wading, spacing, and following tips. We suggest detours when rain closes a shoulder. We also advise when a lighter approach vehicle makes more sense for a hotel lane. Honest advice saves hours and tempers.
Parents appreciate proper belts at every seat, charging ports for devices, and a cooler box for drinks. Children enjoy big windows for wildlife and the calm ride for naps. The Patrol’s height helps with motion comfort on rough stretches. The result is a family that arrives happy and ready to enjoy the lodge instead of recovering from the drive.
We keep speeds sensible near schools and trading centres. We follow ranger instructions and give animals space. We idle quietly at sightings and leave no litter. Courtesy reduces stops and builds goodwill. Officers wave through neat vehicles more often. Kati, a good name moves you faster than any shortcut.
On paper, a Patrol costs more than a small SUV. Over a week with real weather and mixed surfaces, the Patrol saves time and avoids recoveries. Gear rides inside and arrives clean. People ride in comfort and keep good energy. You pay for fewer vehicles and fewer support calls. The total trip feels smoother and the per person value looks friendly.
Large mirrors, cameras, and parking sensors help the driver position in basements and at tight hotel entries. The turning circle remains manageable for a big SUV. A patient driver makes graceful progress around boda lines. You keep time without rushing. Guests step out calm, which improves every meeting that follows.
Useful technology should be simple. Bluetooth pairs quickly. Steering controls keep eyes on the road. Navigation displays clearly. Reversing cameras and sensors assist at Serena, Sheraton, and Garden City. USB and 12V points keep cameras and phones charged. The vehicle becomes a quiet, helpful workspace during transfers.
Some programs link Uganda with Rwanda or Kenya. With notice, we prepare COMESA or related paperwork and brief drivers on border posts. The Patrol carries people and gear across long links with consistent comfort. You move through formalities with order and continue without wasting daylight.
A Nissan Patrol gives you reach across Uganda with comfort, control, and the right kind of space. You glide through Kampala, hold a steady line on highways, and keep moving when rain turns clay tricky. Families feel safe. Teams feel organized. VIPs feel respected. Gear rides inside and arrives clean. With Fern Rentals you receive more than a strong SUV. You receive route advice, tidy handovers, and support that answers the phone.
