Welcome to Kwenda Safari

Kwenda Safari has been taking visitors on safaris to Southern Africa and is advising clients on 4x4 self drive safaris since 1998. The company is driven by passion and interest for the wild areas of Africa and sharing these unique areas with visitors to the Southern African region.

Our most popular safari option is still the 4x4 self drive safari in our well equipped and very capable Land Rover Defender Safari campers. The self drive safari is reasonable in cost, allows flexibility and is one of the most interesting ways to see 'Africa'. The Land Rover Defender 4x4 vehicles we offer are all fully equipped campers allowing one to live out of the vehicle comfortably for extended periods.

1. The Land Rover Defender is specifically built for over-lander and offroad purposes.
2. It is exactly what you want when travelling in the remote areas of Africa - basic, practical and reliable, yet comfortable and highly capable.
3. The important components like the chassis, suspension, engine and drive train are all very reliable.
4. Excellent offroad ability : A number of features make the Land Rover Defender the best offroad vehicle, these include -
   
   
   • Excellent suspension travel and overall offroad suspension
   • A very low ratio 4wd transmission
   • Centre diff lock system
   • Very good ground clearance and offset differential
5. Practicality : the Land Rover Defender is built for practical purposes, while to some the square shape may look outdated, it allows for excellent load space and good accessibility.
6. Accessories : A huge number of accessories unique to the Land Rover are available due to the shape and practical nature of the vehicle. Fender water and fuel tanks, large roof racks, fender covers and load systems are just a few of the vast number of accessories available and fitted by Kwenda Safari on all Land Rover 4x4 vehicles.
7. The Land Rover Defender looks the part and is strongly associated to an African Safari. It always looks good in the pictures when back home and showing off to friends and family.

Why choose to travel in a 4x4 vehicle?

If you are serious about your African Safari and game viewing and want to experience the best of Southern Africa then a 4x4 vehicle is essential.

1. Many of the most scenic areas, finest game reserves and more pristine coastal areas are only accessible by gravel roads or 4x4 tracks. This makes a 4x4 vehicle the ideal mode of transport when exploring the Southern African region.
2. 4x4 vehicles offer rugged reliability and unlimited access to most areas.
3. Additional ride height - a 4x4 vehicle is far better for game viewing and many sightings will be missed when travelling in a standard car.
