DE4×4 Safari & Bike Rides
If you love heading out where the asphalt ends and exploring double track trails, then a safari in Guyana is just want you need. Guyana’s many trails are ideal for an off-road adventure via 4×4 vehicles or dirt bikes. Don’t worry if you’re not into self-guided excursions. The country has five major safari events each year, where expert-led caravans explore different rugged regions over several days or weeks. Pit stops in Indigenous villages, riverside camps and eco-lodges are some of the major highlights that give you a glimpse into local life in the remote pockets of Guyana. Contact Rainforest Tours and Super 7 Productions for more details.
