Are the jeeps comfortable?
Ours certainly are 🙂
With plenty of space to carry your luggage, charging ports for your cameras, an ice-cold fridge for those all important refreshments, our hot lunch hampers, tea, coffee & a pop up roof for 360 degree wildlife viewing….oh and every seat is a window seat.
Within our state of the art 4×4 landcruisers, you'll truly be riding in style.

Safari with kids

We took our little safari boy (pictured here) on his first ever safari at just 6 weeks old and he's fallen more and more in love with it ever since.
