Vehicles and driver guides
While on safari you will have a driver-guide with you throughout. Your driver-guides are well educated and trained in the field of Wildlife and Tour Guiding. With a wealth of experience in conducting safaris in various parks in Tanzania your knowledgeable and charming guides are sure to provide you with the ideal safari experience you deserve. They operate a well-maintained fleet of open-roof Toyota 4X4 Land Cruisers customized for safaris. All the vehicles are equipped with ICOM radios. These radios are commonly used for communication between driver-guides for up to date locations of animals and wildlife reports in the area.
Given the rough nature of the park roads while on safari, flat tires are fairly common while on game drives. Tire changes are handled fairly quickly by your driver-guides with little inconvenience. Vehicle break-downs are extremely rare as your vehicles are rigorously maintained. However, in the unusual event of a vehicle breakdown, a replacement vehicle would be immediately sent over to your location so that you can proceed with your safari as planned.
