Sometimes campers hire dome tents but fail to set them up, and if they succeed in setting them up, they realize a delay in their program because of the wasted time.
Experience in better wind and rain protection
Using the conventional tents might be a bit tricky because of the weather. At times you might not be in position to keep in the tent when it’s raining because of the rain runoff. But when you use a roof top tent for your Uganda safari; you can be assured or more stability on a windy day and more protection on a rainy day.
Experience of off the ground
Some people are too uncomfortable sleeping on the floor/ground and for that reason; the roof top tent comes timely for your rescue. This makes it very confatable since there is no ground interference.
Best experience with the better view
Roof top tents are put on top of the car, giving you an opportunity to see your surroundings from a raised point of view unlike the conventional ground tent.
Cleaner on the rainy day
Whenever it rains in the campsites, you are likely to have muddy tents because of the splash erosion. But with a roof top tent, it is only your car that will be affected on a rainy day.
Can be set up on a relatively non flat land
Unlike conventional tents that require you to find a flat ground, a roof top tent only requires you to find a proper place for parking. It doesn’t have to necessarily have to be flat; that is, rocks and muddy ground are no longer a problem.
Saves you from carrying mattresses
Mattresses take some big amount of space in regard to the camping gear but with a roof top tent, the mattress comes in handy thus creating more space in your trunk for luggage as well as reducing your expenditure on mattresses.
Less expensive
Caravans are some of the best cars for a road trip. But countries like Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania where the roads are not in the best condition, opting for a car with a roof top tent would be the best option in terms of cost compared to caravans, and motor homes.
Flexible camping
Conventional tents might require you to find a proper camping ground but for the rooftop tent, you only need proper parking space which can also double as your campsite. This gives you the freedom to use your tent wherever you find safe parking space.
Privacy
You do not need to look for a public closed room to change rather you only need to unfold your tent to use it as a private room for changing.
Safer from animals and insects
Though camping grounds are safe, sometimes animals roam around more so whenever campers roast some meat. When you use a roof top tent, you are safer from being disturbed by animals such as dogs looking for what to eat late in the night while everyone is sleeping.
Netted windows
The roof top tent gives you an opportunity to have clear views outside through the netted windows of your tent without compromising your safety from Mosquitoes.
