What comes to mind when you think about tour vehicles? For many, these are sturdy off-road monsters. The kind that approach any terrain with a ‘can-go’ attidude.
What if you turned up for a safari and the vehicle on offer is a vintage 1970’s jeep?
This is exactly what a Mombasa tour firm offers. Vintage tour vehicles manufactured in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Take the big boy of the fleet for instance. A 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ60 aptly nicknamed Bushbaby. It’s storied ‘career’ includes more than a million kilometres and at one time being stolen in Mombasa in 1989 in the morning and being recovered in Moshi, Tanzania, in the late afternoon.
