Wheelbase: White Hunter on Wheels

on BBC Two England

Maxwell Boyd covers the world of motoring.

For twenty years the Land-Rover had no rival on the dirt roads and cross-country tracks of East Africa. But a year or two ago the hunters and farmers began to buy the Toyota Land-Cruiser. Today this four-wheel-drive competitor from Tokyo is selling in Nairobi at a rate of about a hundred a year. Why this revolt?
Bill Ryan, Kenya's leading professional hunter, tests the claims made for the Toyota on a five-day drive among the wild life and rocky landscape of the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania.
