Both are legends on Kenyan roads. Here is how to choose for the Mara, Amboseli or a long upcountry drive.
Planning a self-drive safari starts with the right vehicle. The Toyota Prado and Land Cruiser V8 are the two most requested 4x4s in our fleet, and each shines in different conditions.
When the Prado makes sense
The Prado is comfortable, economical for its class and easy to drive in Nairobi traffic before you head out. It is ideal for couples or small families visiting Nakuru, Naivasha or Amboseli on good murram roads.
When to choose the V8
For the Maasai Mara in the rainy season, remote northern routes or a full group with luggage, the Land Cruiser V8 offers more power, ground clearance and space. It is the vehicle to pick when the road is unpredictable.
Our tip
Book seven days or more and the weekly saving applies automatically. Add a driver-guide if you prefer to enjoy the views rather than the steering wheel.
