They have slide windows for photography and game viewing, a fridge for cold drinks, a music system, comfortable forward or backward-facing coach seats, tables, personal lockers, interior and exterior lighting, a gas cooker and lots of storage space for luggage, tents, food and cooking equipment.

The deluxe trucks are crewed by two experienced driver/mechanic/tour leaders, and a safari cook.
