Side Jeep Tour From Gündoğdu: How Your Pickup Time Is Set
Gündoğdu sits at the western end of the belt the jeeps serve. Here is how they find your hotel, and why your gate time arrives as a message rather than as a timetable.
Short answer
Yes, the jeeps come out to Gündoğdu, and the hotel pickup and the drive back are part of the fare on all three tours. Your time is set the day before, hotel by hotel, and sent by phone or WhatsApp. Sitting at the far western end does not fix that time in advance — the bookings for your date do.
Why no time is printed for Gündoğdu
A timetable published weeks ahead would be a guess. The operator plans each convoy only once it knows which hotels have guests on a given date, and that list is different every day. So on the eve of your tour the sequence is drawn up, every hotel gets its slot, and we pass yours on — in English, German, Russian, Polish or Turkish, whichever you asked for in the form.
What can be said now is the shape of the day: the two day tours call once breakfast is over, while the night safari comes for its guests late in the afternoon. Anything sharper than that, from anyone, before the plan exists, would be made up.
Between booking and the message
- Book with a phone number that works while you are on holiday — the time is sent to it.
- Choose your hotel from the Gündoğdu list in the form, or type the name if it is missing.
- Keep an eye on your phone the evening before, and answer if something in the message looks wrong.
- On the morning itself, stand at the hotel's main gate rather than in the lobby.
If the message has not reached you, write to us on WhatsApp with your booking reference.
Which tours call at Gündoğdu
All three of them. The classic day and the lion-cub zoo route run all year at €20 for each adult; the evening safari, sold only between early June and mid-November, costs €35 and takes guests aged 12 and over. Not one of them adds a transfer charge for this end of the coast: what you see in the form is the whole price, before any optional extra.
