Vehicles & Equipment

Our purpose built vehicles are all fitted with professional camping equipment (tents, mattresses, chairs) and a kitchen specific for camping tours. Our vehicles feature large opening side lockers, which offer easy access to generous storage space for passenger luggage and equipment.

Modern Design	Comfortable Bus style seating

Due to the different road conditions found in Southern and East Africa we have two styles of Trucks.

Southern Africa Tours -

Indaba distinguishes itself from its competitors in Southern Africa by having Overland vehicles that was designed and built with a more luxury in mind. Our Vehicles here are specifically built to operate on any gravel/ dirt roads as well as tarred highways – as the road conditions are better the itineraries tend to be designed to travel longer distances per day and therefore these vehicles need to be able to travle at highway speeds in comfort and safety. Some distinguishing features are elevated seating, large glass sliding windows which are ideal for game viewing & photography, internal lights, radio/ MP3 player socket, a PA system and lockers/safes for passenger’s personal use. The cooking area on the vehicle, which includes built-in heavy-duty 24V/240V fridges, provides efficient and convenient cooking in all weather conditions. 

East African Tours-

The roads in East Africa are more often than not in a terrible condition, thus our vehicles here are more rugged and without frills. The safari walls/windows can be rolled up to create a side-less passenger area which is ideal in warm weather or when on a game drive. During inclement weather the sides can be rolled down and thus offer a wind and rain proof area. Each truck also comes fitted with a large tarpon to sit or cook under and of course sand ladders for those unforeseen times when roads have become impassable.

Insurance

All our vehicles are fully insured and Passenger Liability is in place to protect our clients from any unforeseen accidents. We comply with local and international regulations, laws and standards for our vehicles and qualified staff.

Operational Back-Up

We have our own workshops and qualified mechanics servicing and maintaining our vehicles according to our own stringent maintenance schedules (which were worked out in conjunction with the manufacturers schedules). Accredited dealers service our newer vehicles on a regular basis as they are still under guarantee. We have good relations and back up support with all dealers in case of breakdowns or any problems that might be encountered en-route. We have a dedicated operational support team on stand-by 24hours a day in case of emergencies – both in East and South Africa .
