MORE INFO FOR YOUR TAG-ALONG SAFARI

Your mission as the parents is to have a 4x4 vehicle (from a RAV 4 up) kitted out as per our requirements list provided below, to relax, enjoy and forget about work, after all it is supposed to be a trip that bonds the family.

WHAT YOUR CAR NEEDS

All vehicles participating in this trip have to be 4x4 with good ground clearance (nothing smaller than a RAV 4). They have to be in good mechanical condition. Vehicles that breakdown will be towed by the recovery vehicle to the nearest major town where you will be left to organize your own transport back to your home. If that does happen you will automatically fortify the trip. The trip must go on so please make sure your vehicle has been well serviced before this adventure. The roads that we will travel on are dirt tracks that can either be dusty or muddy. The recovery vehicle will be the lead car and will guide you through any obstacles along the way. The team leader also has the right to alter the route in the case of it being impassable. You the driver will be responsible for your own vehicle hence any damage done to your vehicle will not be our team's responsibility. Below is a recommended list of things that your vehicle should have.

•Decent tow rope
•Spade
•Panga
•20 liters drinking water
•Snacks and drinks for the drive
•Good jack
•Fire extinguisher
•Fist aid box
•Triangles
