Our Types Of Safari Vehicles



COMFORT AND SAFETY OF THE SAFARI JEEPS :


Just like most safari vehicles, Land Cruisers of jeeps of whatever type, are equipped with all possible safety features – including fire extinguishers, First Aid kits, seat belts and some have air bags. They have specially-designed fuel tanks to allow economical use of diesel during long journeys and snorkels for travel through rivers.

Protection from the Elements :

Being a closed safari vehicle, one is assure of relative protection against most types of external danger as well as weather elements like rain, dust and wind.


PHOTOGRAPHY AND GAME VIEWING WITH 4×4 SAFARI JEEPS :

Game viewing is from the open roof hatch. One chooses either to stand of the floor of the vehicle and pop their head over the open hatch and view animals (or take photos). Alternatively, one could opt to stay seated and view wildlife (and try to take photos) from the slide window.

SEATING ARRANGEMENT :

The short chassis version : Can take up to 4 persons comfortably

The extended or long chassis version : Can take up to 8 persons. For the long-chassis landcruiser even though it has a higher capacity in terms of number of persons, the recommended number is 6 persons if everybody is to get a window seat.

LUGGAGE SPACE :

With regard to luggage, it is advisable to pack light when on safari – regardless of the type of safari vehicle in use. With the 4×4 Landcruisers, there is a small compartment at the back for luggage. If the total number of persons on the trip is between 2 and 4, then all the luggage would fit into this compartment. However, with 6 to 8 persons, depending on the sizes, some of the luggage might have to be placed on the specially designed luggage rack on the roof. The luggage is then covered by a water-proof canvas for protection against water and (dust) during the drive.

Witness the Majestic Mara River Crossing: A Must-See Experience

Hello adventurers, I'm Baraka, the founder and trip planner at Bantu Pori Journeys. Today, I want to share with you why the Mara River crossing during the Great Wildebeest Migration is an absolute must-see event, especially between July and October. Here’s an account from our expert safari guides, Danny and Hussein, based on our experiences from last year. The Thrill of the Mara River Crossing From Danny: "Last year, our guests experienced the Mara River crossing firsthand, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine standing on the riverbanks, the air filled with anticipation, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather on the opposite side, ready to make their daring plunge. The crossing is a dramatic and chaotic scene, with animals braving strong currents and lurking predators. The sheer determination of these creatures, driven by the instinct to survive, is awe-inspiring." Why July to October? From Hussein: "D...
