In Uganda and East Africa at large, rooftop tents are becoming increasingly popular among outdoor enthusiasts and budget travelers as they provide a convenient and elevated sleeping area at affordable rates as compared to structured accommodation facilities.

They also keep campers off the ground, away from uneven terrain, insects, and potential wildlife encounters.

Additionally, rooftop tents offer a faster setup compared to traditional ground tents, making them a popular choice for those who frequently move campsites.

With double rooftop camping, two rooftop tents are installed side by side on the roof of the vehicle. This setup allows two separate sleeping spaces, providing privacy and convenience for the campers. Our rooftop tents typically accommodate two people each.

With this option, we always ensure that the vehicle’s roof rack or roof bars are capable of supporting the weight of two tents that’s why we are sometimes skeptical on the choice of the Cars that our clients may wish to use.

Car Options for Double rooftop camping

All the cars available for this option are well tested of their off-road capabilities and suitability for camping and outdoor adventures since camping often involves venturing into remote areas and challenging terrains.

We look at the roof load capacity, since double rooftop camping involves mounting two rooftop tents on the vehicle, it’s important to ensure that the car’s roof load capacity can handle the weight of both tents. This is the main reason why we always do not recommend renting a Land cruiser Prado with double rooftop tents at hand. With this vehicle type, we use lighter tents to reduce the pressure exerted to the vehicle.

We also consider the interior Space of the vehicle since double rooftop camping primarily involves sleeping on the roof, interior space is still important for storing camping gear, supplies, and personal belongings. Vehicles like Land cruiser V8s, GX and VX all have a bigger trunk space and seating capacity compared to the Prado ensuring accommodation of all the camping equipment.
