Land Rovers and Range Rovers are large sport utility vehicles frequently used in safaris. The vehicles are rugged enough to climb over rocky terrain and perform well in sandy environments. The vehicles usually seat about five people, in addition to the driver. They allow for a more personal safari experience and almost everyone in the vehicle --- except for the person sitting in the middle in the back seat --- has a window view.
Many safari trucks have been modified or built to have open tops. Instead of a roof, the truck will have a windshield and frame supports where the passenger cabin normally is located. These trucks come in a variety of sizes, from pickups to larger trucks that can seat up to 20 people. The open top provides prime safari viewing opportunities, as passengers get a 360-degree view of their surroundings. There is also an element of danger, as open top trucks are vulnerable to animals.
Overland trucks are massive vehicles that carry everything travelers need for an extended safari. The trucks are about the size of a garbage truck. There is a passenger cabin that seats around 30 people with a separate driving area. The truck has a lot of storage space for tents, luggage and equipment. The trucks can accommodate large groups of travelers and are ideal for multi-day safari trips. However, their large size is not good for tight areas and may scare away animals.
