What makes a vehicle a safari cars? And, are all safari cars created equal? Does it really matter if the car for your safari is a quality vehicle, as long as it runs?
We are here to answer all your safari-related questions and steer you in the right direction.
The majority of safari in Africa and specifically in Tanzania are enjoyed inside special safari vehicles. Skimping on either of these may have disastrous results and ruin your safari experience.
Your safari car will drive along Tanzania’s highways to reach the national parks or remote areas for your tour.
Is your safari going to the Serengeti or Tarangire National Parks? These parks have some areas where your car may ford streams, drive up steep inclines or need to go through flooded or muddy sections – a quality safari car is absolutely essential for these safaris.
Are you planning to visit the Hadzabe tribe? Your safari car will navigate the rough terrain to arrive at Lake Eyasi.
Going to Lake Natron or planning to climb Ol Doinyo Lengai? You will certainly need a good safari car for the rough road to reach this remote location.
Basically, visiting any national park or game reserves requires 4×4 vehicles – under the current regulations of the Tanzania National Park Authority only the SUVs with a four-wheel drive are allowed to enter the protected areas.
Not only is a good safari car necessary for accessing some amazing destinations within Tanzania, but a good safari car should provide a level of comfort for passengers, and safely and conveniently transport your luggage and equipment, too.
A quality safari car should have the following:
All safari cars or trucks run by reputable operators should be well-maintained and have all required safety equipment; including a spare tire, a jack, a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher.
Every safari vehicle is equipped with a first aid kit. Our guides are trained to use this in case of emergencies.
We have a coffee box with snacks, coffee and tea that can be enjoyed at anytime on a game drive.
All our vehicles have a small fridge to keep beverages cold. This is not to be taken for granted especially after a long day out in the savannah.
We made all the windows in the vehicle as large as possible so guests can have a better viewing experience.
The roof can be removed so that you can stand-up and have a better vantage for viewing wildlife.
All our vehicles are equipped with fire extinguishers, and all our guides are trained on how to use them.
We carry two spare tires and a heavy- duty jack. Having two spares is better than having one due to poor roads in some areas, and presence of acacia thorns.
All the seats within the vehicle have seat belts, at wild and nature safaris safety is our priority.
All our vehicles have 110v and 220v power adapters to make it possible to charge camera batteries.
