If you’ve never driven in Africa before, then this is an ideal start to your trip. You can do a lot of things in Africa, but we know that the moment you get your hands on a safari vehicle, you will want to get on it and hit the roads!
Below is a list of the types of vehicles you can get when in Africa. We hope that it will be useful for you while you are planning your African Safari adventure!

Our final list of resources (and equipment) covers how to get to the borders of Botswana and Zambia, where you will spend most of your time. Many of our guides also extend their stay into Zambia, although other countries and species are clearly favored destinations. You may want to leave both countries a few hours before sunset and be back before dark.
As long as you have access to a motorized vehicle, you can reach Botswana from either the north or south by bus. Alternatively, you can travel across Zambia to the Botswana border and use the Mokha to Mokha railway to connect to the roadways and reach your destination African animal encounter.
For those of you just tuning in, I’ve never been to Africa but I’ve been to two safari parks in Cape Town, living in Cape Town the past two years and spending lots of time in the area. I’m now up to five weekends over the last six months with Cape Town to see all three parks: Masai Mara and Serengeti Parks in Kenya, and Oranjemund National Park in Cameroon. I was recently on my first safari at Serengeti in Kenya but was surprised to find out that Serengeti is very well organized, with a very skilled safari park manager who does everything from setting up the park to African animal encounter.
