Your Safari Vehicle: African conditions are incredibly diverse and we travel in custom built safari trucks that allow us to be completely self sufficient on safari. Our reliable fleet of safari trucks have proven themselves to be the best safari vehicles in Southern Africa.
We have put years of safari experience into the design of the Sunway Safaris trucks. Sunway trucks are built to comply with the latest South African transport and safety regulations. Your comfort is catered for with individual seats (with safety belts), ample legroom and large vertical sliding windows for unobstructed viewing and photography.
There are roof hatches for excellent "open" views and an integral cab and passenger compartment so contact with the driver is easy. Each truck also has large packing compartments, a built in kitchen, freezer, drinking water tank, interior lights and a gas stove (to minimise use of wood and destruction of forest areas). There is also a pullout set of steps into the passenger compartment, making access for clients easier.
We also use minibuses for some small group safaris. All of our vehicles are bought new and serviced by Mercedes and Toyota agents, thus ensuring trouble free touring with backup support in practically every town in Southern Africa.
We have an operations office in Maun, Botswana, where our 4 wheel drive vehicles are based. For the national parks of Botswana we use these custom built 4WDs, with individual "bucket" seats, with trailers for the equipment. (We also use supply vehicles for Botswana camping groups of more than 9 clients.) Game viewing from an “open” vehicle is the best way to go for Botswana – small groups in Land Rovers and Land Cruisers have the best wildlife sightings!
These custom built game viewing vehicles are the first of their kind in Botswana. Each new vehicle has a built in “roll cage” that conforms to the latest safety standards of South Africa, and each individual bucket seat has a lap belt. The vehicles are constructed by a registered coach builder and ensure structural integrity of the passenger cabin in the unlikely event of a roll.
Passenger safety is a priority to us all. Sunway Safaris believes that by operating the safest game viewing vehicles possible, we set an industry benchmark which conforms to international passenger carrying vehicle legal requirements. We have set a high standard of vehicle construction, so that Sunway clients have peace of mind when it comes to the safety of the vehicles that they travel in.
