Two Defenders. Two Experiences. One Electric Future. ⚡🌍

Introducing the Reviver ESV 110 & Reviver ESV 130 — two fully electric safari vehicles, designed and built for the next generation of African safaris.

🟢 REVIVER ESV 110
Our more affordable, compact safari solution. We recommend a spacious two-row rear seating configuration, offering excellent comfort, practicality and value without compromising the safari experience.

🟢 REVIVER ESV 130
Our premium luxury safari vehicle. With its longer wheelbase and generous passenger space, the 130 comfortably accommodates three rows of rear seating, delivering an even more refined game-viewing experience.

Both models offer flexible seating configurations for up to 11 occupants, including the driver, depending on specification.

🔋 100% Electric
🌿 Silent, emission-free game drives
🛠️ Purpose-built for African safari conditions

The next Reviver is nearly ready to hit the road.

A reimagined 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Beach Runner, powered by the unmistakable 3.5L Rover V8.

Classic character. Open-air freedom. Built for long summer days and roads that don’t need a destination.

Almost complete. 🌊

Sometimes the most powerful sound is almost no sound at all. 🔊🌿

Down the 4x4 descent, through the water and straight back up the other side — all you hear is the terrain beneath the tyres and the bush around you.

This is what an electric safari vehicle should sound like.

Quiet. Capable. Unobtrusive.

Turn the volume up and listen for yourself. 🔊

Every detail tells part of the story.

Today it’s a handcrafted door card waiting to be fitted. Tomorrow it’ll be part of a Land Rover with a new chapter to write.

Finished in timeless Grasmere Green and powered by our rebuilt V8, this Reviver is taking shape piece by piece before beginning its next life in Germany with its future custodian.

We’re not just restoring classics—we’re building vehicles that will create memories for decades to come.

We can’t wait to share the finished result.

Every prototype has a story.

This is ours.

From receiving the first parts, to countless late nights in the workshop, solving problems we didn’t know we’d face, and finally seeing our first prototype drive under its own power—this has been the beginning of something much bigger than a vehicle.

Our vision has always been simple: build the future of safari vehicles without compromising the heritage we all love.

This is only the first chapter.

Many challenges. Plenty of setbacks. Even more lessons. And we’re only just getting started.

Follow the journey as we continue refining the prototype, working with lodges, and bringing silent, electric safaris to Africa.

How many incredible wildlife moments are interrupted by the sound of a diesel engine?

For decades, we’ve accepted it as just part of the safari experience. But does it have to be?

Imagine hearing nothing but birdsong, the wind through the grass, and the animals around you.

No engine idling. No diesel clatter. Just Africa.

We believe the future of safari isn’t louder. It’s quieter.

Welcome to the Reviver Electric Safari Vehicle.

From workshop to wilderness. 🌍⚡

The journey is just as exciting as the destination.

Our Reviver ESV is on the road again, traveling between some of Southern Africa’s most iconic lodges as we showcase the future of safari vehicles. Every kilometre brings us one step closer to quieter game drives, lower operating costs, and a more sustainable safari experience.

If you’re a lodge, reserve, or safari operator and would like to experience the Reviver ESV firsthand, we’d love to bring it to you for a demo.

Order books are now open for our first production vehicles, with limited build slots available.

Join us as we redefine the safari experience—one game drive at a time.

Every journey has a beginning.

Long before Reviver existed, my parents set off from Berlin in the late 1980s in a white Land Rover Series III 109 Station Wagon, exploring Africa one mile at a time. From the Sahara to the Congo, through remote villages, deserts and jungles, they eventually reached Mombasa after an unforgettable overland adventure.

That journey sparked a lifelong passion for Land Rovers—and for Africa.

Today, Reviver is our way of honouring that legacy. We’re bringing the iconic safari vehicle into a new era: preserving its soul while giving it a silent, electric future.

Some stories don’t end. They simply evolve.
