A Slightly Different Jeep Safari!
Finally we have located a real jeep safari organization that runs off the beaten track. The main principle of this jeep safari was that the route to be taken was decided upon by the driver himself in line with his own instincts in relation to environment and nature. There is no definite itinerary and the rest points, even the times of lunch breaks and restaurants to stop off are not preplanned. Surely, such an improvised journey is made possible when one uses a single group of passengers on a single jeep. That way, it is ensured that the number of passengers is limited. In return, we discovered sensational rest points surrounded by superb views and unspoiled nature. We stopped off at rarely visited, almost unknown sites where one could spend days at an end.
Ömer, the driver and guide in this safari gave a clear answer when asked a direct question: If the driver is not interested in the nature and the geography, uses the same route every time and stops at the same locations and possibly make the same jokes every time, how will the safari passenger have fun and enjoy the experience? That is a boring and monotonous for both the driver as well as the journey goers. But, I on the other hand relish the green of nature and feel happy in observing and absorbing the scenery and beauty of my surroundings. As such, when I form a participant group, I follow my instincts in terms of the itinerary. At times once a week and sometimes once every three weeks I will have the opportunity to take people on a jeep safari, but I will never use the same route and I usually follow the mountain tracks rather than the roads.
