Our own 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser or a safari minibus, both with a pop-up roof for game viewing. We carry a maximum of six passengers, so every seat is a window seat, and the vehicle is serviced after every safari.
The safari year runs in three seasons. July to October is peak season, with the driest ground and the strongest game viewing. November to March is warm and clear. April to June brings the long rains, greener country, quieter parks and our lowest prices.
