Our reliable and comfortable vehicles
Our fleet of safari vehicles is mainly made up of short base (5-seater) and long base (7-seater) Toyota Landcruisers. All our vehicles are serviced and maintained in our own workshop to ensure that our guests travel in a safe and reliable vehicle.
However, please do not forget that depending on your itinerary you might be travelling on dusty rough roads for long distances. Even the best safari vehicle might experience a problem along the way. In the unlikely event of a breakdown, our back up team will do everything to get you back on the road again. Our safari vehicles are not fitted with air conditioning.
- We use the best 4x4s specially designed and built for African safaris.
- Our vehicles have been specially converted for maximum space and comfort including enough luggage space for 1 large soft bag per passenger plus hand luggage.
- Our vehicles have a so called pop-up roof and sliding windows to facilitate good viewing and convenient photographing during safari game drives.
- All passengers are guaranteed a window seat.
- Each vehicle has 2 spare tyres.
- Each driver has a pair of binoculars and a set of referral books.
- Each vehicle is equipped with a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
- In the unlikely event of a vehicle breaking-down, we are able to quickly repair or replace the vehicle.
- We provide free drinking water during safari.
