The fleet at work

Roof up, engine running

Not a showroom. These are our own vehicles on the roads we drive, in Amboseli, the Mara and the Serengeti, with guests standing through the roof where they should be.

Who is driving

The people at the wheel

Our driver guides are certified from recognised colleges. Each one knows the behaviour of the animals, the history and culture of the people whose land you are crossing, the birds, the trees, and how to fix a vehicle a long way from town.

Safety and comfort come first: seat belts on every seat, dust-proof windows, and a radio link to the office for the whole trip.

Making a safari with a native who knows the country like the back of their hand is like buying an asset back home.
