​Rwanda Consult and Safaris' Specialty
​
The closed vehicle with viewing pop-top or retractable open roof are commonly used in East Africa. Typically these vehicles have large sliding windows for seated viewing too. The rigors of long road travel to get from place to place dictate the use of these vehicles, which are more insulating for long drives. It can be a fun feeling to stand and view out of the top but there can also be a lot of jostling around and it is not as harmonious as being seated in an open vehicle.
​Self Drive Safari
​
​Renting a vehicle and doing the driving yourself can be an economical and rewarding way to travel on safari. Due to large animals on roadways driving can only be safely done during the daytime. When driving yourself you may use private Camping or it might be possible to drive to many outstanding lodges. There are many excellent options for those with the independence to pursue this adventure and willing to do the preparation. The best benefit to self-driving is you get to have more interaction with the local people.
Guided Vehicle Safari
​
On a guided vehicle safari you are transported in the same vehicle to each spot on your itinerary by a guide who remains with you at each lodge, Hotel or camp and conducts your game drives each day. This may be done as a private party or by joining a group trip. There are many types of vehicles used on safari and which type you will have should be a very important consideration. The advantages to the guided vehicle mode of transportation is, you have a professional guide who knows where to go, how to handle driving conditions, and can share knowledge of wildlife, the surroundings, and the culture. You also get to see more of the country as you drive between locations. It is common in Rwanda to have a private guided vehicle with a guide who takes you on the entire safari utilizing established camps and lodges. This country also tend to have larger group safaris as well.
