Safari tour with Jeep

Description

Our safari covers the whole island, from South to North and back. We explore the varied terrain from
the plains on the eastern side, which merge gently into peaceful days & golden beaches, to the Western
side, which is mountainous with steep cliffs along its coastline. During the safari, we drive both on and
off road carefully and considerately.
All guests will be collected from our office in Tsilivi at a pre-arranged time and then head towards our
starting point just inside Laganas. Here instructions will be made & safety procedures will be covered.
There will be a short brief on the day’s itinerary before we set off on safari...
Our first stop is at the historic Venetian church tower in the beautiful mountain village of Kiliomenos.
Heading off track we visit the village of Loucha & Giri, which is the smallest village on the island,
having a population of only 20 people. Here at approx. 10 a.m. we will stop for a short coffee break.
Then on to our next stop at Vrachiona, the highest point on the island. Where from a height
of 756m you will be able to view the whole of Zakynthos, Kefalonia & the Greek
mainland in the distance.
A day out on the Jeep Safari Land Rover Experience is a day of pure escapism, a time to leave all your
worries behind & enjoy that feeling of being free & totally relaxed.
*Remember to bring with you swimwear, a camera, sensible shoes, and money for drinks & lunch.*
