Natural Habitat Adventures has deployed one of the first solar-powered electric safari vehicles (ESV) in Botswana. The initiative was done in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund.<\/p>\n
The ESV, stationed at\u00a0Natural Habitat’s Gomoti Camp in the Okavango Delta, is a converted Land Cruiser that was previously diesel-powered. The vehicle can accommodate seven passengers and is charged by an off-grid solar array.<\/p>\n
Ben Bressler, president of Natural Habitat Adventures, commented that the introduction of the vehicle in the Okavango Delta is a step toward reduced carbon emissions and improved game-viewing experiences. Its quiet operation allows for a closer connection to nature.<\/p>\n

This low-noise feature ensures that travelers can better engage with and understand the wildlife they encounter.<\/p>\n
