Electric vehicle EV safaris are moving beyond small-scale pilot projects as improving technology, reduced conversion costs and rising fuel prices accelerate adoption across the safari industry.
Operators in East and Southern Africa say the sector has reached a turning point where EV safari vehicles are becoming commercially and operationally viable for wider rollout.
According to Gerard Beaton , Head of Operations at Asilia Africa, operators across Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana and South Africa have spent the past five to seven years testing different EV solutions in safari environments.
