How comfortable is an overland truck, and where do I sleep?

This will differ depending on the company you travel with, but you can generally expect comfortable coach-style seating, lockers for your personal items and air-conditioning. As for accommodations, you’ll likely be sleeping in a tent (provided by the tour company) for the majority of your trip. If you’d prefer to sleep in a hotel or lodge, explore our full range of Overland tours and use our filters to search for trips with accommodation types that suit you best.

How often do you have access to wifi? Is it easy to keep your electronics charged?

If you’re heading into remote or areas off the beaten path, your access to wifi will likely be limited, which is the perfect opportunity to disconnect and live in the moment! Alternatively, you can contact your mobile service provider prior to your trip to check if they offer mobile data in the destinations you’re traveling through. You’ll have access to charging facilities at most campsites, with the exception of wild camps, so consider packing a power bank.

Why do prices differ so much between companies?

The cost can vary depending on a range of factors, including your destination of choice, the length of your trip and your inclusions on tour. Luckily, TourRadar has hundreds of Overland truck tours suited to every budget.
