Notes:
Gravel Road Driving: Some tourists prefer to rent sedan cars, but for long distance driving on gravel
roads you should consider the usability of the more robust 2x4 pick-up
trucks and 4x4 pick-up trucks having their load boxes fitted with
canopies. For added security of your luggage etc. it is preferable that
the canopy be of the enclosed steel or aluminium type with no windows.
