Tanzania transport - Safari vehicles

Kenya and Tanzania transport

We use two types of safari vehicles in Kenya: a comfortable 4x4 Toyota mini van and a Toyota land cruiser. Nearly all safaris in Kenya are done in 4x4 mini vans. These vehicles are excellent on bumpy and muddy roads. They are also more affordable than land cruisers, while being comparable in comfort and capibility. Mini vans have a capacity of 7 people plus baggage; however we advise travelling with a maximum of 6 people to ensure comfort and enough space. During game drives, the roof rolls back for a 360 degree view of your surroundings. 

Naturally we can arrange for you to travel in a land cruiser during your Kenya safari if you wish; there is a 40% surcharge for this vehicle during safaris. The land cruiser looks great on safari pictures and if you're travelling in a group of 4 or more, then it's worth considering. 

All of our Tanzania safaris are done in Toyota land cruisers. During the safari, your luggage is stowed partially in the back of the vehicle and partially on its roof. We recommend using a backpack or soft bag while travelling instead of a hard shell suitcase that can be damaged during rides on bumpy roads.

The best way to travel

Going on a safari through Kenya and Tanzania is incredibly popular with people around the globe. Enticing documentaries on National Geographic and Animal Planet have also made going on a safari even more popular. Because of this, prices have gone up and they will probably continue to rise during the next few years. Price hikes have mostly increased entrance fees to national parks (such as Masai Mara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro) and Kenya and Tanzania transport.

As you can imagine, safari prices are significant when having to split the cost of a vehicle, a chef, camping equipment and fees for entering a national park with a vehicle by only two people. 

Affordable safaris in small groups

The best way to keep a safari affordable is by splitting the costs with several other people. So you can invite your best friends and family to travel with you and we'll create an affordable independent safari for you.
