The Safari Boys offers a vehicle recovery service.

We are centrally situated in the Kalahari desert. The regions infrastructure are mainly dirt roads. Accidents do occur often as visitors are not used to the road conditions. The roads are notoriously dangerous due to stray domestic animals and wildlife.

Accident damaged vehicles

We repatriate privately owned vehicles as well as rented vehicles after an accident.  We could replace the damaged rented vehicle with another vehicle from the rented company, in order for the tourist to continue with their planned safari.

Vehicles with mechanical problems

We have the necessary knowledge to aid with mechanical breakdowns. Land Rover owners travelling in the Kalahari can contact us for help.  If a serious breakdown occurred we can recover your vehicle with our vehicle recovery trailers.

Rented vehicles

We deliver and collect vehicles for vehicle rental companies.
