We usually use mini-buses to
travel around in. These are always hired from companies offering collection
services at the airport, thus avoiding unnecessary delays. Again, quality is the
watchword, and whenever possible we use reputable international companies.
Usually, the leader does the driving, to allow for maximum flexibility.
Each tour is different as vehicles differ in each country. The picture below shows the vehicle we use for full tours in Namibia. In some countries where roads are bad we use 4X4 vehicles.
In Namibia where we take a maximum group of 10, we take a large vehicle. You can see that this has extra height for better views while birding, as well as 2 roof-top openings for use in Etosha where it is forbidden to leave a vehicle when big game is nearby.
The massive windows can open allowing excellent photographic opportunities and easy use of a telescope. We don't think there is a better safari vehicle for birding than this.
