Trabi-Safari Berlin

Posted by

The Trabi-Safari is a city tour through Berlin in the former GDR national car Trabant. You drive through Berlin in a convoy, 2-3 people sit in a Trabi. In the first car of the Trabi-Safari sits the city guide, who informs about the sights and buildings by radio. The drivers of the other Trabants are participants of the tour. So you experience 2 things at once: A city tour through Berlin and you can drive a Trabi once in a lifetime. The tour is in German and English.

Hardly any city tour in Berlin gets better ratings from participants, the Trabi-Safari is cool, well done and a special experience

It is really fun to drive such a simple car like a Trabant for once. The manual gearbox and other special features are of course explained to the participants of the “Safari” in detail beforehand. Nobody expects that you have ever driven the GDR car before.

The Tarbant Safari goes through Berlin past the great sights. Most people book the short tour (about 75 minutes). This city tour with the Trabant in Berlin is called “Berlin Compact”. The detailed tour (2h 15 min) is one hour longer and is called “Berlin XXL”. Alternatively, you can also choose a US car (Mustang) for 10 Euro extra. But we think the Trabi is cooler.

The turning point is 30 years ago. Nevertheless the organizers of the Trabi safari in Berlin still have about 100 Trabis. Many of them can be seen on the Trabi-Safari grounds. Among them a Trabant police car and much more.
