Our Safari Tour has become the most popular tour on the island. This is because we try to give the best service possible to our customers. This includes being fully insured and having all the necessary safety precautions mandatory by law. Our itinerary is carefully planned, so that you have a chance to visit places that no other tour can offer. A combination of our humorous guides, along with a bit of dust makes this an extraordinary day out. Due to our popularity, it is very difficult to find available seats, even on many days in advance. This is why we are offering our customers the chance to pre-book seats so that they are not disappointed when they arrive. To show our appreciation, we are offering a 5% discount on all pre-booked seats via internet. Below is all the necessary information you will need to know regarding this tour. We thank you for enquiring and we hope that you have a brilliant day out.
