Vehicles and Operations

Pollman's Tours & Safaris is constantly renewing its vehicle fleet to ensure that our travellers have a comfortable, trouble free safari. Recently, we made the decision to move many of our programmes to four-wheel drive vehicles to improve accessibility and comfort.

There is no question that the roads in Kenya can have some rough patches. This is where a combination of quality, well maintained vehicles and experienced driver-guides can be the difference between a good safari in Kenya and a great holiday experience.

  We still operate a variety of vehicles meeting the specific needs of our travellers. For transfers, we use safari buses. We also use Toyota’s Noahs for private VIP transfers.

For something really special, we can provide transfers in a Mercedes Benz or luxury 4x4.

For groups, we provide transfers in 24 passenger coaches. These are also used for shared transfers on the Kenyan coast to the many spectacular Indian Ocean resorts we serve. 

The interiors of our vehicles are spacious and designed with the safari traveller in mind. Most have power points for recharging camera batteries. Pop-open roofs allow panoramic game viewing as well as protection from the sun. A cooler box provides chilled water and vehicles also carry a first aid kit and other tools to be prepared for any bump along the way. 

All seats have seat belts and pass rigorous safety checks before each safari.  

The most important part of any vehicle is the driver. Our drivers and driver-guides are well trained and must have extensive experience before they take our travellers on safari. Many speak a number of languages including French, Spanish, Italian, German and of course English.
