Our Safari Vehicles Seating Plan - 4x4 Safari Land Cruiser Extended

Safari Vehicles Seating Plan

All our Safari vehicles are Toyota Land-cruiser 4×4 with pop-up roofs. The vehicles are serviced and maintained to a very high standard before, during and after every safari. Paradise Adventure Vacations Ltd offering all-wheel drive safari vehicles suitable for off-road driving, which enable travelers to discover the magical areas of East Africa in a pleasant and reliable manner.

Our fleet consists of 4×4 Toyota Land cruisers with a hinged roof and skylights above the front seats. The hinged roof offers two main advantages: it provides shade without restricting the view, so that you can enjoy your safari even in the very sunny hours of the day. It also allows a 360-degree all-round view.

Our Vehicles Are Equipped With:

  • Adjustable comfortable seats
  • Electric refrigerator for drinks
  • High-performance shock absorbers

Due to the difficult ground and road conditions inside and outside the national parks and wildlife reserves, a four-wheel drive vehicle is not only recommended, but also crucial for an eventful safari.

    3 Days Murchison Falls Safari Uganda

    The 3 days Murchison falls safari Uganda takes you to an Ultimate experience of the World’s most powerful waterfall located in North Western part of Uganda. The park is the largest National park in Uganda with an area of 3840sq.kms. While on this journey, you will encounter the Big 5 mammal species like elephants, leopards, lions, buffaloes and the rhinos, you will also get an opportunity to view the Nile crocodiles, Hippos, bush bucks and various bird species like black bee eater, rare shoebill stork, weavers, grey crowned crane among others.

    Best Time To Visit – Uganda

    The best time to visit Uganda is from June to August and December to February, which are the Dry seasons. Wildlife viewing is at its peak then. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda. The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and you can’t avoid rain completely. However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.

    Is it safe to travel to Uganda?

    Uganda is a safe country to visit, especially when your part of an organized game drive with private guides, as you will be with us. These tours are designed to enhance your safety and provide you with a well-guided experience. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side, pun intended, don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing prominent and visible jewelry, and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.

    What can I expect from a safari with Paradise Adventure Vacations?

    This is an exclusive, private safari that allows you to travel at your own pace. This trip is made just for you, exactly as you want it! Our experienced travel consultants, along with our knowledgeable guides, will make sure that your wishes come true. There are numerous advantages to such a trip. First, you can cruise around in a private safari vehicle and have a personal guide. It’s completely up to you what time you leave in the morning and when you come back (taking into account your guide’s advice, of course). Secondly, once you’re in a national park, you can observe specific animals or herds for as long as you like. No one will push you to move along. And lastly, knowing your wishes, your personal guide will give you the right tips, turning your trip into an unforgettable experience in Africa.

And then there’s the birdlife-with more than 1,000 species of all kinds and colors, Uganda is a birdwatcher’s paradise. And if you love primates, Uganda clearly is your place to be: the diverse jungles are home to as many as 24 species of monkeys, from the nocturnal to the beautifully colored blue monkeys and the breathtaking mountain gorillas and Chimpanzee in their Natural Habitat.

    Day 2: Hike to Machame Camp (3,000m)

    After an early breakfast at the lodge on day 2 of your Hiking Safari, you will hike to Machame Gate with your guides. Machame Gate is located on the western side of Mt.Kilimanjaro. As you make your way up the foothills you will hike through tropical rainforests where you are likely to spot some black and white colobus monkeys as well as plenty of tropical bird species. A steady 5-hour climb will lead you to Machame Camp where your tent will already be pitched and ready for you. You will have your dinner which will start with a hot bowl of soup and energy packed food. Before you retire for an overnight, you will have a briefing for the next day.

    Day 3: Hike to Shira Camp (3,900m)

    After a hot breakfast on day 3, you will climb through the last part of the rainforest of the Kilimanjaro slopes. Once you pass the tree line, the landscape changes to moorland where a lot of endemic plants and tree species are found. Today you will need to remember to go “pole pole” (slowly slowly) as this part of the hike involves a 3-4 hour steep climb. After a break at lunch you will continue on the final 1 ½ hours of moderate ascending and descending trail until you arrive at Shira Camp. The views from Shira Camp are considered one of the most impressive of the Machame route offering glimpses of the summits of both Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. If you still have a bit of energy left in you, you can explore Shira cave which is located only 15 minutes from the camp. Be prepared for a cold night tonight, as temperatures frequently drop below 00C at these elevations.

    Day 4: Hike to Barranco Camp (3,840m)

    Today you will need your energy for a long and tough day to start. You will ascend steadily from the moorlands to Alpine desert landscape and since the vegetation is low to the ground in this part, there are many stones on the trail and it can get quite dusty. The challenge today is both the long distance that you are covering and the ascent to a higher altitude. At this stage you may experience some altitude sickness symptoms like severe headache, nausea and/or dizziness. Your first goal of the day is to reach the Lava Tower at 4630 meters and this stretch will take between 4 to 5 hours. On arrival you will need to take at least half an hour to rest and let your body acclimatize to the high altitude. After acclimatization and some lunch, you will hike for another 2-3 hours to Barranco Camp and now since you are descending to lower altitudes, any potential symptoms of altitude sicknesses will now fade.

    Location: Barranco Camp

    Accommodation Option:

    Mid-Range Barranco Camp

    Meals Plan: Breakfast and Lunch as well as Dinner

    Drinking Water and Fruits Throughout the journey

     

    Day 5: Acclimatization Day Karanga Camp (3,995m)

    After a good night’s rest, you will feel ready to conquer the great Barranco Wall! This steep 260m high wall may look a bit terrifying but making your way over the wall with your hands and feet is quite fun and the view at the top over Karanga Valley is more than worth the effort. The acclimatization process of climbing the Barranco Wall at 4100 meters is an important factor in succeeding in completing the Kilimanjaro expedition. After only 1 ½ hours you will reach Karanga Camp where the guides have already pitched your tent so you can spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing.

    Location: Karanga Camp

    Accommodation Option:

    Mid-Range Karanga Camp

Today is all about resting up for the big day tomorrow. Dinner will be served at 5:30 PM and you should get some sleep after this. Around midnight you will be woken up to hike to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

    Location: Barafu Camp

    Day 7: Hike to the Summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro

    You will be woken up just before mid-night and after breakfast, you will set off on your summit bid of Mt. Kilimanjaro. For the best chance of reaching the summit today, you will need to hike very slowly and steadily. After 6-7 hours on a steep ascending trail, you will reach Stella Point at 5,685 meters just in time for the sun to rise slowly over Mawenzi peak. Another hour of hiking over a glacier and caldera, you will reach Uhuru Peak which is the highest point of Africa at 5,895 meters above sea level. Sit and enjoy the views for a while and congratulate yourself on a job well done. You will soon descend on a 3-4 hour hike back to Barafu Camp for a well-deserved lunch and rest. You will continue on for another 3-4 hours today following the Mweka route to the last camp on your Kilimanjaro expedition (Mweka Camp at 3100m). After this unique and highly memorable day, you will have a nice hot meal and some well-deserved sleep!
