Vehicles that drive executive delegates to luxury hotels differ from those that take a loved one for a romantic dinner. Likewise, a vehicle that takes a family for a holiday in a park can never be the same as that you can take for a self-drive safari in Africa. However, regardless of the purpose of the trip, whether business, honey moon or wildlife, a strong and safe vehicle adds more fun to a safari holiday.
Vehicles which offer excellent mileage for 4×4 car rental safari drives would be daunting for some trotters.

They are upraised and never fail to access the un – accessible dirt roads of Africa.

The Toyota Prado is a spacious vehicle, allowing enough luggage and camping gear to fit in properly and it’s still a perfect car for poor road conditions that travelers are likely to find on the way to some of the national parks in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. These Prado carry up to five people including the driver.

It is the most recommended vehicle for two people though it can carry up to five people and can be hired at as low as 45 USD per day.
Still other vehicles like coasters, range rovers and smaller saloon cars can be used for an African safari but the above are the most recommended ones especially for those going for self-drive safaris. We still have a wide variety in fleet, ranging from luxury, mid-range and budget vehicles for both corporate and diplomatic travel in Africa.
