Hi there. I have planned a trip and booked all accomodation and now I am looking to see if it is possible to organize transport with you. My trip starts in Harare and we would like to leave Harare on the 28th of December to go to Inhasorro where i have booked accomodation for 2 nights. I will then be leaving for Tofo on the 30th where we have booked accomodation at bamboozi lodge for 3 nights. We would then be coming back to Inhasorro on the 2nd of January for 1 night before coming back into Zimbabwe on the 2nd.On the way back from mozambique we have booked accomodation in Nyanga, close to the Gairazi river. I have just come back from there this weekend and the roads are good as they have just been graded. we would like to stay in Nyanga for 2 nights before comming back to Harare on the 5th. There are around 10 or 12 of us that would be looking to go. I would just like to know if you offer anything and what circumstances there would be and what sort of price. Thank you for your help and i look forwad to your reply

Hi Dorien! Fantastic. I have sent you some more information via email. Cheers!

Hi guys, I'm very interested in taking the 20 day accomodated Discover South Africa tour. Could you give me some more info on the accommodation, the truck and the crowd that usually travels on an accommodated tour (age, single/couple)? Thans in advance!

Hi Emily! Overlanders are usually aged between 18 and 50 and are relatively fit and healthy. Exceptions are made to the age bracket for those over the age of 50 who are healthy and young at heart. If you fit between these age brackets, enquire through our website and one of our consultants will be in touch with you regarding some options! cheers:)

Are there age limits? I have overlanded before, but am older now, but would love to do another trip. thanks

Hi V, I have emailed you some information about the trip. Cheers!

Hello, I am interested in taking part in the Nairobi - Cape Town trip starting on 24/9. I will already be in Tanzania for the whole of September, would it therefore be possible to joing the group when they are leaving Dar on 6/11 (?). Could you also send me some more details/photos of the vehicles used during this trip? Thank you very much. Regards V

Hi Jean, Yes there are. Make sure you have a multi-adapter with you for the plugs and you will be fine! Have fun!

On the Cape Town to Nairobi Epic trip leaving on 10th April 2011, are there facilities in the truck for charging cameras and ipods?

Hi Alice, It is possible to drive from CPT to LON. We do not have self drive vehicles sorry. Try your local auto trader or second hand car magazine and buy a fully kitted Toyota Landcruiser or Land Rover or similar. Have fun!

Do you have any self drive vehicles suitable for 5 people and is it possible to drive from Cape Town to London or must the vehicle be returned to point of pick up?

Hi Wimpie, We don't have trucks for sale sorry. Contact the tour operators and they will let you know if they have anything. Cheers.

Hi Maarten, I can only think of a storage depot/storage land type of lock up which you will find in the yellow pages. I don't know of anything specific sorry. Good luck!

I'm looking for a place to store my Landrover when I'm not in South Africa. Do you have any ideas where I can do this? I'm living in Johannesburg. Thanks Maarten

Hi Bev, Travel time in the truck will vary from day to day with some days being drive days which will involve driving all day and some days only a few hours or short distance to the next destination. This however will depend on which tour you decide to join. Cheers

Can you tell me on average how much time we'd spend in the truck travelling each day? Thanks!

Hi Shaun, I would not able to assist you with the information on building trucks but I suggest you contact Advance Vehicle Engineering in Cape Town who builds most overland vehicles for companies based in South Africa.Cheers

Hi Dayne the reason i am asking aboout the different pictures is because i am based in Botswana and i am looking at purchasing one or possibly having one custom made, i have absolutely no experience in overland trucks and i would really appreciate any info on them or if you could direct me to websites that would be useful. Thanks so much.

I just wanted to find out if you have different pictures of overland trucks from smallest to largest. Thanks

Hi David, I have sent you some photos of the trucks for the specific tour that you inquired about.Cheers

hello- really interested in the "middle east trek" and "roof of africa". would you be able to provide me with pictures of the trucks used on these tours? thanks!

Hi Liam, The Serengeti is included in your trip price for the Wildlife Wonderland Tour. I have sent you a link to view the trucks as requested.Climate differs from country to country and I have emailed you a list of possible tours and the best time to undertake them.Cheers

Hi, I have a couple of other questions about the wildlife wonderland trip. on day five of the itenery it says you have the option of visiting the serengetti, I thought this was included and not an optional activity? Looking at the trucks page it suggest browsing the different trucks but I cant seem to find a page on your website to do this. Finaly what would be the best time of year to do this trip weather conditions wise? Thanks Again.

Hi Francesco, I would not be able to assist you with a private tour through the middle east. However we have plenty of scheduled tours traveling through the requested areas.Check out our pages on the middle eastern tours.Cheers

Hi there, we are looking for good deal flights/ one way from Dar es Salaam to Nairobi, friday 14th January 2011. Can you offer better deal than 150 dollars per ticket?

Hi Niki, sleeping on the truck is not allowed. However you are welcome to upgrade from camping to accommodation at most of the places the truck will be staying depending on which tour you depart. Cheers

should i not want to camp one or a few nights, could i sleep on the truck??

Hi Susan, most trucks have facilities to charge your phone and camera batteries but this you will only be able to do once your truck arrives at the campsite and is plugged into a power source at the campsite. However some trucks have facilities to charge your equipment while traveling. Cheers Dayne

Hi Can you give me some more information about what amenities are available on the trunks in the Namibia tours. i.e. charging for phones and cameras etc Thanks

Hi Sue, The trucks all have different specifications depending on which tour you will be traveling on and in which country. On all tours you are provided with a sleeping mat and a tent, all you need to bring is your own sleeping bag or rent one. Some not all trucks have lockers for storage for your personal items. Trucks can take 16 to about 30 passengers depending on which tour you would like to join. I have emailed you some photos of standard overland vehicles. Cheers Dayne

I would like to know more about the trucks, for instance, is there any way of charging cameras etc on the truck, do you provide camping mats, what is the capacity of the truck, are there any individual lockers or such like for storing personal daily use items? I would also like to see more photos of the inside of the truck and facilities provided. Thanks

Hi Angela, thank you for your comment. I have sent you an email with more information on the trucks and some pictures for you to view.

Hi, My husband and i are looking at taking an overland trip and would like some more information about the trucks you use for the nairobi- Vic falls epic and the Vic falls to Nairobi and gorillas trips. Would be great if you could send some pics and perhaps some info regarding truck capacity, facilities on board etc. Thanks for your help!

Hi Alex, I would love to send you some pictures and some more information on the truck, however I need to know which tour or area you are looking at as trucks can sometimes be different depending on the country or road conditions of any specific area.

How it is possible to know more about yours Overland Vehicles? More pictures? I would like take something like is red above.

Im interested in leading (or co leading) on one of your overland truck trips. Would you have any advice on this? Are there any available posts? Kind Regards, Robyn
