The future of game viewing!

Two days ago, I had the chance to view and test-drive the prototype of the first South African purpose-built, fully electric game-viewing vehicle.

The eGameViewer is being developed and manufactured by Thula Solutions (https://thula.africa/esvhttps://thula.africa/esv).

It was extremely comfortable, very quiet, excellent off-road, and very robust. The animals reacted calmly, contrary to my expectations.

I was most impressed and look forward to driving the production vehicle.

This could definitely be my Green Mamba III soon.

Topic: In today’s midday heat (38°C / 100°F) an Thanda Elephant bull was mudding himself. A Cape Buffalo bull was not even moving from his cool bath when the gentle giant arrived. And for the birders along you: Try to spot the Woolly-necked Storks and the Hamerkop in the video.
