Safari Vehicles
We operate Land Cruisers, which have proven themselves as the foremost safari vehicle in East Africa with their ruggedness and reliability both on and off-road. Our fleet includes two types of vehicles designed for comfort and an exceptional game-viewing experience.
Stretched Safari Vehicles
With extended legroom, large windows, and a pop-up roof offering 360-degree unobstructed views, every guest has a guaranteed window seat – no need to peer around others for that elusive leopard! For those who prefer to sit up front, there’s an open hatch next to the guide. These custom-built vehicles are perfect for both game drives and travel between locations, keeping you and your camera equipment safe from rain and dust. Each vehicle is equipped with: An inverter for charging phones, cameras and other devices while on the move.
– A fridge to keep your drinks chilled.
– Bean bags for photographers to rest camera lenses.
– Ample space for personal bags and luggage.
Open Game Drive Vehicles
Our open game drive vehicles are ideal for fly-in safaris. With side seats only (no awkward middle seat!), all 6-7 guests have prime views. Stay protected from the sun under the shade canopy, cosy up with blankets on early morning drives and stay dry during unexpected showers with our handy ponchos.
Private Vehicles
If you’d like to book a private safari vehicle for your fly-in safari, we’re happy to arrange this for a small additional charge.

Fly-in Safaris
At our Serengeti Camps, we also have ‘open’ game drive vehicles. Ideal for ‘fly-in safaris’. Also set up for ‘side’ seats only (no middle seat) – 6/7 guests per vehicle – with a shade canopy to protect you from the sun, blankets provided for the early morning game drives and ponchos in case of an unexpected shower. We have specially adapted ‘arms’ for photographic lenses to rest on, and supply bean bags (or you may bring your own clamp) or hire a gimbal mount from us.
Benefits of using a gimbal mount include:
- More controlled motion when taking pictures
- Maintain the angle and position of your camera
- Ability to capture more unusual angles
- Smoother transitions between shots when taking multiple pictures
Photographic Safaris
We have extensive experience hosting professional photographic groups. Our guides understand the unique needs of specialist photographers. With prior arrangement, we can provide extra charging power for workshops / presentations and laptop charging at the camp. Let us know your requirements when booking, and we’ll make sure everything is in place.
