EVs enter Kenya's game reserves

Electric vehicles are being introduced in Kenya's game reserves despite limited charging infrastructure, suggesting operators are betting on the lower running costs and quieter operation of EVs for tourist transport. The absence of charging points indicates that adoption will likely depend on private investment in off-grid or on-site charging, or on hybrid solutions, rather than public infrastructure. This could position Kenya's safari tourism sector as an early adopter of EVs in Africa, though scalability remains constrained by capital costs and grid access in remote areas.
