Why pick the quad combo over the buggy combo
Two profile differences. First, you ride solo on the quad rather than driving in a 2-seater cage — better for solo travellers, motorbike riders, or guests who want the open-bike feel. Second, the AED 375 evening safari + ATV combo product on the safari pillar is essentially this combo at the standard tier — the page you're reading is the more flexible version where you can pick the quad bike (COBRA AED 200, Standard AED 250 or Yamaha Grizzly AED 350) and the slot length. The fixed AED 375 combo bundles a COBRA 30-min; this page bundles whatever quad you ask for.
