Thousands of visitors have enjoyed a Spurn Safari on our beloved Unimog over the last 10 years. We’ve been delighted to help more people explore this incredible wild area of Yorkshire, visit the historic lighthouse and discover the rich military history of the site as part of our three-hour long Spurn and military history Safaris. 

The Unimog is a 16-seater military vehicle able to give visitors an elevated view on the journey along the beach to the tip of ever-changing Spurn point; a great servant to the community allowing thousands of people to enjoy and visit the area who would not otherwise have been able. 

Very sadly however it is no longer viable for us, as a wildlife charity prioritising nature’s recovery, to keep up with an increasing number of repairs to the aged vehicle. This means we have to pause our Spurn Safari trips and the Unimog will no longer be in use at Spurn. The Unimog has had a fantastic final summer season and we’ll be very sorry to see her go. 

It’s the best time to make this difficult decision too as we head into more challenging seasonal weather conditions, an ever-changing beach and quieter season.

We are now researching other ways to transport visitors safely and sustainably along the beach three miles to the end of Spurn and lighthouse, to ensure we give visitors an amazing wildlife experience on our beautiful nature reserve. 

We would also welcome discussions with partners or transport organisations and businesses whose values align with ours and who would be interested in working with us.
