This new safari car seems to be a very solution. And it is nice that it isn’t as big as the other cars.

Once again, for the zillionth time, Londolozi leads the way with this groundbreaking announcement. I can’t wait to have my game drive in one of these vehicles.

How exciting would it for 100th birthday present to be an INEOS developed hydrogen powered safari fleet of vehicles for Londolozi. Good luck with the ongoing research. Hydrogen is for sure an exciting component of the future energy mix. Thanks Shannon for a fabulous blog – thank you for sharing.

Shannon Dawson
Marketing Assistant

Thank you, Jane. We look forward to updating you on our progress in finding the most sustainable safari vehicle possible.

Shannon, this is such exciting news and a huge step forward towards the completely sustainable vehicle. A question- what is the sound level? I’ve read that properties that have added electric vehicles to their fleet have reported some animals have had negative reactions, most likely because they are startled by the silent machine.
I applaud Londolozi for their continuing research into building a fleet of vehicles that will leave no imprint on earth’s natural resources that in fact produces a trickle down effect. This family truly lives and promotes the sustainability ethos (water treatment plant, composting, solar power, no plastic, and investing in the local communities) just to highlight a few. For these reasons, and of course viewing the variety of flora and fauna, I will continue to visit Londolozi and support The Ripple Fund/GWF as my appreciation of their constant support to make our world a better place.

Shannon that will be a fantastic partnership between Londolozi and Ienos Hydrogen Safari, for the preservation and protection of the planet. Wonderful to see the Ilumi Ranger James Tyrrell again. We mis him so very much. Great innovation to preserve the land and environment and being sustainable in every aspect. Well done Londolozi!!!

Great! EXCEPT much of the pleasure of a safari drive at Londolozi has been “no top” covering the guests on a drive. Now….I don’t look forward to riding in a vehicle with a top.

Shannon Dawson
Marketing Assistant

Thank you, Judith.

This is a fantastic and exciting development! I had no idea hydrogen vehicles were even in development.

Shannon Dawson

It certainly is a very exciting time, Chelsea.

Really great news. Londolozi is setting an example for others in being sustainable. Another reason (like I needed another one) to come back.

Just out of curiosity – where does the hydrogen come from and is it really green hydrogen? Here in the EU there is lots of debate on if, how and when green hydrogen is truly green.

bravo!!!
