Camping kit & lists

The Safari Drive equipment list

All Safari Drive holidays are briefed at our bases where we will run through the equipment with you. This gives you a chance to choose more or less equipment at no additional cost. All trips include satellite telephones at no extra charge with free calls to Safari Drive (or our bases).

There are normally regional variations in the equipment that we provide you with and it does sometimes depend on what is available locally but we always ensure you have all the essentials (and some nice extras) for camping, eating and drinking out in the bush. As far as the consumables are concerned, we provide you with a food starter pack to which you can then add your own supplies along the way, particularly fresh fruit, vegetables and meat.

The Roof tent

When our clients are asked about their Safari Drive experience they often comment that the roof tent was one of their most memorable parts of the trip. It is a unique experience that the roof tent provides, allowing confident, comfortable and secure sleeping in areas of real wilderness. Providing great star gazing opportunities as well as a great place to lie and admire the view, the tents couldn't be easier to use but can put up with the most extreme weather and rains that even Africa can throw at them.
