Safari

I’ve always wanted to trek across the grasslands of the Serengeti, but my minivan probably wouldn’t get very far on that terrain. But maybe I can hire out the Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions (WAVE), a highly customized 4×4 van that is equipped with a wheelchair lift, a rugged suspension system, and various other amenities such as a sink and refrigerator. The WAVE is operated by Disabled Explorers, a one-man nonprofit that was founded by a nurse who is also an amputee. Disabled Explorers takes people with disabilities on off-road expeditions that would previously have been completely inaccessible.

The article doesn’t say whether the WAVE can withstand an elephant charge, but I intend to find out.
