On March 17th, a new era in safari transportation will emerge in Boulder, CO. Natural Habitat Adventures is self-proclaiming to be “the world’s first 100% carbon neutral travel company”, stating that they “offset all of the greenhouse gas emissions” from their trips and operation.
While that is a good start, the organization does in fact recognize that they must also REDUCE their greenhouse gas emissions, not just offset them. To that end, NHA has announced the creation of a hybrid safari truck, designed to utilize the emerging hybrid technology with the rugged needs of the adventure and safari industry. 
By spending over a year researching and building this specialized vehicle, they believe to have created a stepping stone for further and more effective technology. The vehicle offers four-wheel drive, enhanced suspension, specialized photography windows and a sliding roof for wildlife viewing. It is also outfitted with safety devices and conveniences such as tow capacity, on-board dining gear and fire prevention devices.

It is NHA’s goal that this vehicle will not only reduce their own carbon footprint, but, also, encourage the entire adventure travel industry to collectively create alternative energy required to participate in worldwide adventures.
