“I firmly believe that the heart of Land Rover belongs here in Africa,” said Kingsley Holgate.
“Since 1948, they’ve played a key role in global exploration and especially here in Africa, Land Rovers have helped to transform the continent – from pioneering transport routes through previously inaccessible regions, to playing a leading role in economic development and responding to humanitarian needs. My first vehicle was a little yellow Series I still have today; they are the soul of our geographic and humanitarian expeditions, many of them world-firsts.”
