If you are looking to book an African safari holiday for all the family to enjoy, you often have a number of different options especially when it comes to the type of vehicle used for the safari trip.

You can chose not to have a vehicle and go it on foot, this is not for the faint hearted but can be an amazing experience and allow you to really get close to nature. It is also the cheapest way of going on safari. The vehicles used in a safari trip can vary from an open top for seater to a huge 44 seater and everything in-between.

One of the largest of the vehicle is the Overland truck, these trucks are especially built to deal with the rough roads of Africa, where pot holes, deep ruts and river crossings are very common. They are normally used for longer and larger (12 to 44 people) overland safaris. Because of this they need to have plenty of room to carry not only passengers but also their equipment and still offer the passenger a comfortable ride and good views of the passing scenery and wildlife.
