Do the vehicles have air conditioning?
Yes, all day tours and transfers are conducted in luxury air-conditioned vehicles for your comfort. Open safari vehicles used for game drives are not air-conditioned but may have canopies for sun protection.
To stay comfortable, bring sun hats for daytime drives and warm clothing for cooler evening drives, as temperatures can vary significantly throughout the day. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal for the heat, while a jacket or fleece will keep you cosy when the sun sets or during early morning game drives.
We ensure your comfort during all transfers and day tours by using luxury vehicles equipped with air conditioning. This is especially appreciated during the warmer months when temperatures can rise significantly. For your peace of mind, whenever we work with third-party operators, we ensure their vehicles meet our high standards, are properly licensed, and carry full insurance.
Game drives, however, are conducted in open safari vehicles to maximise your wildlife viewing experience. These vehicles are not air-conditioned to allow unobstructed views and a connection to the natural surroundings. Many are fitted with canopies to offer some shade from the sun.
Daytime game drives can get hot, so we recommend wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat and applying sunscreen. Late afternoon or evening game drives can bring cooler temperatures, particularly with the wind chill from the vehicle's movement. To stay warm, pack layers such as jackets, scarves, gloves, beanies, and even knee rugs for added comfort.
With the right preparation, you'll be ready to enjoy the beauty of the African wilderness in comfort and style.
