What is a tourist/Safari vehicle?
Categories of tourist and Safari vehicles are road-based and customized vehicles to meet the needs of the users who are mainly travelers and their drivers and guides. Safari vehicles are mainly 4WD (4 wheel drive) Toyota land cruisers and other brands with good visibility on top pop-top roof) and windows. They are called safari vehicles in East Africa because they are meant to be used in wildlife trips, especially inside national parks where there is animal viewing (game drive) and birding. Some of these vehicles can also be used on the roads connecting to these national parks. Most safari vehicles therefore are multipurpose.

Safari Vehicles are mainly open-sided vehicles and closed vehicles. Closed vehicles sometimes have pop-ups. This is because these vehicles are built and customized purposely for sightseeing tours and excursions for tourists.
Closed Vehicles for tourist
Closed vehicles used in Uganda on a safari are generally modified Land Cruiser 4×4’s. They have three or two rows of comfy seating and seats up to 7 guests where everyone gets a window seat with full view and features a pop-top roof hatch which can be raised for 360-degree game viewing. It allows taking amazing photographs within the national parks while comfortably in your seat or standing.
Open-sided vehicles for tourists
Open-sided vehicles used in Uganda are mainly used inside the national parks only such as Queen Elizabeth national park. They are not suitable for normal roads or transfer from park to park. They are also not used and wildlife animals are more likely to jump or climb on the vehicles. Open-sided vehicles are suitable and used in areas in the park where there are crazy animals like monkeys and baboons. Also traveling from one park to another, airport transfers, or transfers from your lodges require a closed vehicle.
