Mahmutlar: Buggy Safari with Hotel Pickup
Yes — we collect from Mahmutlar. Round-trip hotel transfer is included in the €35 driver price, a passenger riding with you pays €17.50, and the off-road ride is 1.5–2 hours. Your session starts at 08:00 or 13:00; your pickup is earlier and we confirm the exact time after you book.
Pickup zone
Mahmutlar
Mahmutlar is the furthest east of our Alanya pickup zones, past Kestel — a long, busy strip that has grown from a holiday village into something closer to a town, with a market, a long promenade and a mix of hotels and apartment blocks.
Eighteen Mahmutlar hotels are on our pickup list, among them Bone Club SVS, Barışcan Hotel and Doris Aytur. Mahmutlar has a lot of apartment accommodation as well as hotels, so if you are in an apartment give us the building name and street.
How pickup from Mahmutlar works
We collect you in Mahmutlar and drive to the safari base inland. Mahmutlar is at the eastern end of the belt we serve, so plan on your pickup being earlier rather than later relative to your session — we confirm the actual time after you book, once we know your address.
Hotels we hold in Mahmutlar
Our directory has 18 Mahmutlar hotels on file. If yours is not one of them, type it into the booking form — the field is free text and we confirm every pickup with you before the day.
Timing
Two sessions, every day
Morning session
The earlier air and the cooler ground. Popular with guests who want the rest of the day still ahead of them.
Afternoon session
A later start for a slower morning. The light is lower by the end of the ride.
08:00 and 13:00 are session start times — not pick-up times
This is the one thing worth reading twice. Your session begins at 08:00 or 13:00. Your hotel pick-up happens earlier than that, and the exact minute depends on where your hotel sits on the transfer route and how the day is scheduled. We confirm your pick-up time to you after you book, rather than printing a time here that would be wrong for most hotels.
Before you book
Can I drive?
16 and over
Drivers must be 16 or older. Bring ID — it is checked as proof of age, not as a licence.
No driving licence needed
This safari runs on a private off-road course, not on public roads, so a driving licence is not required to take part. What we do require is the briefing and the test drive.
Everyone does the test drive
Every guest who wants to drive completes the safety briefing and a short test drive first. It is a genuine check, not a formality.
The team has the final say
Our guides decide whether a driver is safe and suitable to take the route. If the answer is no on the day, nobody's holiday is over: you ride exactly the same route as a passenger, at half the driver price.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you come as far as Mahmutlar?
Yes. Mahmutlar is a pickup zone and the round-trip transfer is included.
I am in an apartment, not a hotel — is that a problem?
No. Give us the building name and street in the booking form and we will confirm the pickup point with you.
Will my pickup be very early?
Mahmutlar is at the eastern end of the run, so it is worth expecting an earlier collection than a guest closer to the base. We confirm the exact time after you book rather than guessing here.
