Discover the Accessible Safari Landcruiser – Your Perfect Safari Companion in Kenya

Developed in partnership with Accessible Africa Initiative and Kenya Association for the Physically Disabled, our Accessible Safari Landcruiser represents a breakthrough in inclusive safari tourism. This is not merely an adapted vehicle but a purpose-built accessibility solution that maintains all the safari capabilities of our standard Landcruiser while ensuring dignity, comfort, and independence for travelers with mobility challenges.

The vehicle features a German-engineered hydraulic side lift system with 300kg capacity, capable of handling powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters. The lift operates silently and includes emergency manual override. Doorways have been widened to 90cm with sliding mechanisms to facilitate smooth transfers.

Inside, the floor has been lowered by 15cm without compromising ground clearance, thanks to custom suspension engineering. The front passenger seat is fully removable, allowing wheelchair users to occupy the prime photographic position. Four-point wheelchair restraint systems with quick-release mechanisms provide security during movement.

The pop-up roof features electronic height adjustment controllable from wheelchair level, with viewing windows positioned for seated visibility. All controls are tactile and color-contrasted for visually impaired users. The vehicle includes an accessible washroom tent system that can be deployed at picnic sites.

Our driver-guides complete intensive accessibility training through the Kenya Institute of Special Education, covering transfer assistance, equipment handling, and disability etiquette. They understand the unique requirements of safari travel for persons with disabilities.
