What is an overland truck?

You’re about to set off on an adventure spanning several days with an overland truck being your home away from home for a while, so let’s learn a little more about the vehicle. 

An overland truck is a purpose-built, all-terrain vehicle that is equipped with everything you need for your Overland tour. It’s generally packed with tents, acts as a source of electricity in remote places, and features large storage spaces for food or luggage—perfect for longer adventures. As it’s an all-terrain vehicle, you can also expect bumpy roads in remote locations, providing you with a true wilderness escape off the beaten track.

A typical overland truck features:

✓ Coach-style seats with large windows, perfect for photographers, amazing views, and wildlife sightings!
✓ Onboard plugs or USB ports to charge your devices and share tales of your endeavors
✓ Camping and cooking equipment for those times when there’s not a hotel in sight
✓ A kit for all kinds of emergencies, from little injuries to getting stuck in the mud (literally!)

Depending on your adventure operator, your overland truck could have different features. For more information about the vehicle on your Overlanding trip please contact your Travel Expert.

  • Is an Overland tour right for me?

    Do you like the outdoors and want to see more of a destination than just one place? If you also have a penchant for road trips with a dash of adventure, enjoy getting away from the daily hustle and bustle, and like to fully immerse yourself in new environments, then an Overland Tour is perfect for you. 
  • Do I have to camp on an Overland trip?

    As Overlanding is all about embracing the outdoors, most trips will involve camping. More often than not, camping is the only accommodation option available as you’ll likely be heading to remote areas, but don’t shy away—the starry skies in these desolate destinations need to be seen to be believed!
  • What differentiates a Safari tour from an Overland tour?

    Safari tours typically focus on wildlife observation in natural habitats, offer a variety of accommodation options, and are often conducted in jeeps. Overland tours include a broader exploration of different regions and cultural encounters. They often involve camping and long-distance driving in specially equipped vehicles, providing a more immersive experience.
  • Do I need to be fit for an Overland trip?

    Since most Overland trips involve setting up tents, assisting with food preparation, sitting for long periods of time, and driving along bumpy roads, we recommend a moderate level of fitness to fully enjoy the experience! If you are unsure about the requirements, please contact our Travel Experts.
  • Can I combine Adventure Styles?

    Of course, you can also combine our Adventure styles. For example, how about rounding off your Overland tour with a beach trip or food adventure? Please take a look around and if you need any assistance, our Travel Experts are happy to help!
