At Umkulu Adventures they believe in minimising the travelling time in order to maximise the quality of your African experience. Their vehicles are Mercedes Benz trucks, which allow them to cover great distances in safety, at a responsible speed. They have endeavoured to make the travelling as comfortable as possible and have custom built the rear of the truck to their client specifications. For your safety and comfort the trucks have hardtops with 9 large opening windows for excellent viewing opportunities.

The spacious interior is laid out with 20 comfortable seats with lock up storage under each one, radio cassette player, intercom to drives, an on board reference library and a safe for valuables.

Clients will be issued with a 2-man dome tent and camping chairs specially custom built. A full complement of all necessary cooking equipment is carried on board, freezer, gas stove, water tank, grids, pot & pans, cooking utensils etc. Other equipment carried on the truck includes a toolbox and spares for the truck, a medical kit and a tarpaulin for shelter. In order to store all equipment while travelling, the truck has been designed with ample storage space.
