In east Africa, safaris are conducted in closed Land Rovers seating 5 passengers or more (all with window seats) with a guide and have roof hatches for game viewing. A small number of east African safari lodges / camps offer open sided 4×4 vehicles for game viewing. The majority of lodges and camps in southern Africa use open 4×4 Land Cruisers and Land Rovers seating 6 to 8 people total for wildlife viewing drives. Wildlife may also be viewed from power boat (ski boat), river boat, canoe (2 man Canadian canoe), or pontoon boat (great for sundowners) depending upon the lodge or camp.
