TZ Land Cruiser or Land Cruiser Prado?

Both are excellent 4x4s at the same daily price. The Land Cruiser Prado is a little more refined on the tarmac, while the TZ Land Cruiser is a simple, rugged workhorse for longer and rougher trips. Tell us your route and we’ll recommend the better fit.

Built for long distances

The Land Cruiser’s reputation comes from decades of work on Africa’s toughest roads. It is simple, strong and dependable, which matters most when you are far from the nearest town. For multi-week trips and cross-border routes, that reliability gives real peace of mind.

A sample cross-border trip

Collect the car in Kigali, drive north to Musanze, cross at Cyanika for gorilla trekking in southern Bwindi, relax at Lake Bunyonyi, then return via the Gatuna border. Read Bwindi from Kigali.

What’s included

Free airport pick-up and drop-off, free GPS, 24-hour roadside assistance and a full introduction to the car.
