A canter is a larger open-top vehicle and the more affordable shared option. A gypsy is a smaller jeep that suits couples, families and photographers. We book a canter as standard and can upgrade to a private jeep on request.
Places are limited and sell out well ahead during peak season from November to March. Book your tour early so we can secure your safari slots as soon as your dates are confirmed.
