On the UTV Expedition you drive yourself, while a multilingual guide leads the group over unpaved terrain.<\/p>\n    <p>That makes this tour different from a jeep tour such as the <a href=\"\/en\/things-to-do\/jeep-safari-avontuur\/\">Jeep Safari Adventure<\/a> or the <a href=\"\/en\/things-to-do\/jeep-snorkel-avontuur\/\">Jeep &amp; Snorkel Adventure<\/a>: on a jeep tour you sit in a larger, guided jeep. On the UTV Expedition you drive your own buggy, in a smaller group of vehicles, along a route mapped out for the driving experience itself, not primarily for a visit to the national park.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-97d588d elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"97d588d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-96e9f61\" data-id=\"96e9f61\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e23a4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"9e23a4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n.aq-compare{padding:90px 0;background:#fff}\n.aq-compare h2{font-size:clamp(28px,3.5vw,40px);margin:0 0 14px;max-width:860px}\n.aq-compare-sub{font-size:16px;color:var(--muted);max-width:780px;margin:0 0 40px}\n.aq-compare-scroll{overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;border-radius:16px;border:1px solid var(--line)}\ntable.aq-compare-table{width:100%;min-width:760px;border-collapse:collapse;background:#fff}\n.aq-compare-table th,.aq-compare-table td{padding:16px 20px;text-align:left;font-size:14px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line);vertical-align:top}\n.aq-compare-table thead th{background:var(--bg-soft);font-family:'Inter',sans-serif;font-weight:700;color:var(--ink);font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.4px}\n.aq-compare-table thead th:first-child{background:transparent}\n.aq-compare-table tbody th{font-weight:600;color:var(--ink);white-space:nowrap;background:var(--bg-soft)}\n.aq-compare-table tbody tr:last-child td,.aq-compare-table tbody tr:last-child th{border-bottom:none}\n.aq-compare-table td.featured,.aq-compare-table th.featured{background:#eef9fb}\n.aq-compare-outro{margin-top:26px;font-size:16px;color:var(--text);line-height:1.7}\n@media(max-width:720px){\n  .aq-compare{padding:64px 0}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section class=\"aq-page aq-compare\">\n  <div class=\"aq-wrap\">\n    <h2>Self-drive or guided?
