Au sujet de la location de 4x4 en
Tanzanie voilà les réponses et les prix que nous avons reçu des loueurs Tanzaniens, avec en parenthèse notre avis :
-
Shaw Safaris (trop cher) :
To fill you in on our self drive operation....
We run not just as a hire company but pride ourselves on providing you with a complete service from the moment you arrive in
Tanzania with full support and back up service whilst you are on safari. This service extends to even before you arrive with help in planning itineraries if needed and providing up to date information on park permits and how to pay for these.
All our vehicles are 110 Landrover defenders and fully kitted out with all the camping equipment you will need. Our 2017 daily rate is US$325 + VAT @ 18% (based on 4 sharing a vehicle) to include 2 roof top tents (subject to availability) GPS with Tracks4Africa, individual maps of the parks, mobile phone (with dual SIM cards), 240 volt invertor for charging cameras etc, stereo with IPOD connection, fridge/freezer (dual battery system) and food starter box worth approx US$130. For a full list please see attached or refer to our website. The list is based on 2 people sharing but extra equipment will be provided for all of you. There are no additional costs for hiring any of the equipment listed unless stated (eg guide books). The vehicle comes with a full tank of fuel and needs to be returned with a full tank and includes unlimited mileage. As the back of the vehicle is mainly taken up with the camping equipment, luggage must be kept to a minimum.

Safari Drive (on aime être libre) :
We (Safari Drive) are not actually a vehicle hire company as such. We offer fully inclusive tailor made safaris, meaning that when you book a holiday through us we work closely with you to create a tailor-made itinerary that will be perfect for you, taking into account all of your preferences (level and type (camping or lodging) of accommodation, budget, specific interests, 4x4 driving and Africa travel experience, and more).
We also book and pay for all your accommodation on your behalf, taking away all of the stress of planning on your own. Plus can give you 24 years of expertise in choosing your route and where to stay.
Furthermore, we have Safari Drive staff on the ground in each country we operate in who you will meet at the start and end of your trip, will brief and debrief you in detail and who will be there as safety back up should you need it.
Safari Drive is the only UK bonded tour operator to own its own vehicles throughout Africa, so when you book your safari with us, you are not dealing with a car hire company and lodge operators. You can book the whole safari through us with the knowledge that your money is securely bonded.
