Case Study: Safari Drive achieves reliable cross-border vehicle maintenance and cost forecasting with Fleetio

Safari Drive - Customer Case Study

Safari Drive runs fully inclusive self‑drive safaris in expedition‑equipped Land Rover Defenders across southern and eastern Africa, coordinating trips from their HQ near London since 1993. Their vehicles are heavily modified for off‑road and camping use and travel long distances across challenging roads and multiple countries, creating complex maintenance scheduling and paperwork requirements for British‑registered vehicles.

To solve this, fleet manager Ollie Blackwell adopted Fleetio in 2012. Fleetio gives Safari Drive centralized, accessible tracking of vehicle condition, scheduled servicing across borders and workshops, and management of regulatory paperwork, while also helping monitor costs and forecast expenses as the fleet grows.
