Toyota Land Cruiser Double Cab specifications
Kindly note that while we ensure that our Land Cruisers are well-maintained, they are not new. You will not find a new Land Cruiser for hire in Tanzania. The classic Land Cruisers you see on the roads in Tanzania can be twenty years old, but don't let this fool you. It's for a good reason - they are extremely powerful and reliable, and built without electronics for slower travel in the bush. Keep in mind that the driving comfort on paved roads, as well as features like air conditioning and speaker quality, cannot be compared to modern cars.

Please note that we don’t do field repairs or send a replacement vehicle in the rare case there is a problem with the A/C. Wiring and piping are sensitive and suffer from bumpy roads and dust.
