Travel together
The overland truck: your home on the road
An overland truck is designed for long-distance group travel. It provides a shared transport base for the expedition, helping the group travel together between destinations and enjoy the journey as a team.
Depending on the truck supplied for a departure, the vehicle may be equipped with elevated passenger seating, large windows for viewing the scenery, storage for luggage and expedition equipment, and practical facilities for extended journeys. Vehicle layout and facilities vary, so the exact truck specification is confirmed before departure.
Our overlanding departures are planned for groups of 8 guests and above. The final vehicle arrangement and departure confirmation remain subject to suitable overland truck availability.
