Vehicles and Drivers

A high quality vehicle and a good driver are critical to a successful safari.

Our safari vehicles are specially modified Toyota Landcruiser station wagons. Modifications include 3 large game viewing hatches in the roof (front, center and rear), enlarged windows on the side, and additional seats in back so that all 5 passengers have a window seat. We have also added pockets and holders for books, binoculars and cameras. The cars are all less than 3 years old and are serviced regularly in our own workshop.

A car is only as good as the driver and drivers are excellent. Driver/guides are all trained naturalists who have more than five years experience with us, they know their way around the parks and are skilled at spotting and identifying wildlife. They are also trained to prepare delicious picnic lunches in the bush, so that you can maximize your game viewing opportunities.
