The Safari Land Cruiser with Pop-Up Roof is the ideal vehicle for wildlife adventures and rugged terrain exploration. Designed specifically for African safaris, it features a powerful 4x4 engine, spacious interior seating for up to seven passengers, and a pop-up roof that allows for unobstructed 360-degree game viewing and photography. With high ground clearance, durable suspension, and excellent off-road performance, it handles even the roughest roads with ease. Inside, passengers enjoy air conditioning, ample luggage space, and charging ports for devices—ensuring comfort throughout the journey. Whether for self-drive or with a professional driver-guide, this vehicle offers the perfect balance of reliability, comfort, and safety, making it the preferred choice for safari tours across Tanzania and East Africa.
When you start your safari, the jeep will be completely clean. To keep it clean at all times, we put a non-smoking sticker in the car and one indicating not to put shoes on the seats. A trash bin is also provided, especially since throwing your trash out of the car is not allowed. To perfect your experience further, our professional driver guides have great driving skills and are equipped with the best communication tools. This allows them to be in touch with fellow guides and the office at all times. So fasten your seatbelts, sit back and enjoy your safari in Tanzania!
Please note! Safari jeeps are not equipped with AC. But the large windows and open roof usually keep the car cool enough. Also, WiFi is not included. But if you want to be online while on the road, we can arrange it for the duration of your safari for a small surcharge.
