How you will Travel

Travel these remote areas in our purpose built Isuzu off road 4WD tour-vehicles with forward facing reclining seats, footrests, and retractable seatbelts. The vehicles are equipped with standard features as a P.A. System, on-board toilet, T.V and road cam, portable satellite phone and first aid kits and all necessary off road equipment you can think of. With small groups, minimum of 10 and a maximum of 25 passengers, you will have the ultimate opportunity to enjoy the areas at its best.

Clothing & What to Bring

Casual gear is a must. You will need minimal changes of clothing. T-shirts, jeans, shorts, bathers, bath and hand towel, a pair of rubber soled shoes or joggers, a warm jumper or jacket, hat, torch, insect repellent and toiletries. A track suit is most useful, too.

Luggage Checklist

Note: Due to workplace health and safety regulations, luggage cannot exceed 10kg per person.

THERE IS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO WASH YOUR CLOTHES

  • 1 Soft bag per person, as described above. (You may be asked to transfer your luggage into different bags). It is requested that all passengers bring a soft bag, no suitcases with wheels, or hard body cases, as they never look the same again, and they can damage others. An overnight bag is perfect or a smaller type duffle-bag. We have found that backpacks with external frames are difficult to stow. Airlines also have luggage restrictions of 1 piece per person policy.
