Jeep Safari Rhodos – Zelf rijden of ontspannen meerijden

  Cecile and Dino were fantastic. Funny, friendly and very knowledgeable. Be aware that you may have to share a jeep but we had a lovely couple sharing with... read more us and they didn't want to drive, so that suited my partner just fine as he's not the best passenger! . We took the safari at the end of June and it was HOT!! Even with the roof off. The Jimmy jeeps we had aren't luxurious vehicles by any means but when you see the roads they have to travel on, you see why. (Word of advice, if you can get it then ask for the air-conditioned automatic jeep ) Our safari was based in the North of Rhodes and took us to several pretty villages. There are three off road runs which are very dusty (Don't wear white ) There are some pretty steep hilly parts which some drivers may find nerve-wracking! We stopped at a pretty taverna where we got ice creams and juices and our order was taken for lunch at the next stop which cost 12€ and for that you get a main meal, cake and a soft drink. Well worth it. Each stop was a relief tbh. The best stop was towards the end of the tour where we stopped at the beach where getting into the water was absolute heaven. Cecile and Dino are a lovely couple, very knowledgeable about Rhodes and this was probably one of the highlights of our trip.

I do wonder if it would be better to include the price of lunch in the safari price as it would save time for everyone having to wait until the servers go round collecting everyone money for lunch. It would be nice to be able to have a wander round a couple of the villages, to see and buy the traditional products on sale. Few tips or points to know

1. As I said DON'T wear white
2. You may have to share a jeep so be prepared.
3. Snacks and lunch are not included
4. Take a towel for swimming at the end.
5. Take a drinks bottle that keep your drinks cold as trust me, they get hot quick

We would definitely do this again, maybe in the south next time.

  Great way to see more of rhodes and great views and exciting off road tracks even came across family of goats. There were only 3 jeeps in the convoy guides... read more in first another family and us in the rear. Our 21 yr old twins loved the excitement . Drive for about 1 hr stop for coffee so remember to take cash then another hour stop for lunch guide tells you what is available and orders ahead again remember enough cash for lunch. Another hour spent at a beach for swim and drink then drive back loved it all …
