Lockwood Overland Safaris is proud to partner with a team of highly experienced and truly delightful driver-guides, making your road trip through Tanzania an unforgettable adventure. Whether you prefer to sit back and relax, immerse yourself in the local culture, or gain deeper insights into Tanzania’s wildlife, our driver-guides are here to cater to your needs.

All of our guides are fluent in both English and Swahili, ensuring seamless communication throughout your journey. If you’re seeking a German or French-speaking driver-guide for a more personalized experience, we have options available to accommodate your preferences. Just let us know, and we’ll be delighted to assist you in customizing your car rental with a driver in Tanzania.

When you travel with one of our driver-guides, you can rest assured that safety is our top priority. They will navigate you to your destination with utmost care, lead thrilling game drives in the safari parks, and introduce you to the finest spots for lunch breaks and supply replenishments. Additionally, they are well-versed in adjusting your itinerary on the go, suggesting fantastic campsites, and recommending value-for-money lodges across Tanzania.

The cost of hiring a driver-guide is €40 per day, with all proceeds directly benefiting the driver. This fee also covers their meals and accommodation. No need to worry about arranging separate lodging for your driver, as the lodges offer dedicated facilities at reduced rates. In case your adventure involves camping, we provide your driver with the necessary camping gear. While inside the national parks, where alternative dining options are limited, we kindly request that you provide food for your driver. Rest assured, most of our drivers are skilled bush cooks and can also help you start a campfire.

Keep in mind that when you venture into a national park with a driver-guide, you’ll be responsible for their entrance fee, which typically ranges from €2 to €5 per day, depending on the park.

For your convenience, it’s essential to prepay your driver-guide’s park entrance permits. When you book a car with a driver through Lockwood Overland Safaris, we take care of all the necessary arrangements to ensure a seamless experience.

Please feel free to communicate with us in the English language, and we’ll be more than happy to assist you in planning the trip of a lifetime through Tanzania.
