Short answer as I'm on my way out

is

Don't - there have been some serious accidents caused mainly by health and safety (lack of) and everyone pratting around and staff showing off. Some fatalities locally.

If you must, Karacay get fair reviews and seem safer than some.

I think that turkey4life is planning to do just that - he wans to hire a jeep so he can do his own private safari - ie "my way ie safe and at our pace ".

I agree with IanK T4L is planning his own.
We have done it many times, there are plenty of places hiring jeeps, some are bone shakers though.
We found that in August they were a bit more difficult to get hold of because the Jeep safari companies use them if they need extra, so you might be wise to book it a good few days before you need it.

Hire a car. It'll save you getting covered in dust and dirt and you'll have the advantage of aircon and shade from the sun.

Apologies, I can see that now - I read it like they were looking for a tour company that do a low key, shenaniganless sensible safari at a leisurely pace. I couldn't think of any :D

Great input from you all

I was considering a car but I have 2x 16 year olds with me and a jeep would be more fun for them and yes the aim is for me to drive away from a group on our own with no shananagans just a good old drive around the sights

If your 16 year olds are tall you will need a bit bigger than a Suzuki jeep as they have very little legroom in the back
