🚐 What is Tour Van Body Fabrication?

Tour van body fabrication is the process of customizing a standard vehicle—commonly a Toyota Land Cruiser, Hiace, or Nissan Caravan—into a safari-ready tour vehicle.

 In Kenya, this transformation is critical for tourism businesses, conservancies, and transport operators targeting game drives, airport transfers, and long-distance safaris.

It goes beyond simple modification—fabrication defines your comfort level, safety, and how much you can charge per trip.

 

🔧 Key Features Added During Fabrication

  • Pop-up Roof (Game Viewing Hatch) – Essential for safaris
