A safari van is a customized minivan, commonly based on the Toyota HiAce, designed for wildlife tours across Africa. It features a pop-up roof that provides elevated views for game watching and photography, making it a popular and budget-friendly alternative to 4x4 Land Cruisers for national park visits. Some safari vans are equipped with four-wheel drive to handle rougher routes. They comfortably seat 6–8 passengers and often include amenities such as cooler boxes and charging ports, offering excellent value for well-accessible park roads, though with more limited off-road capability compared to dedicated 4x4 safari vehicles.
