The Game Drives (Safaris) are driven around the country in comfortable micro-buses & 4 wheel drive vehicles which are equipped with binoculars, cooler boxes, bottled mineral water as well as library on animals, birds, trees and road map of Kenya and open roof vehicles for game viewing . We will have experienced guides accompany us for the game drives.

The game drive vehicles are all equipped with two way radios, so that drivers can communicate with their base, each other and the lodges. Most lodges and hotels also have a telephone, but the service, particularly for overseas calls, is both erratic and expensive.
