Meet the Team

Each expedition comprises a 2 crew team. One crew member is an experienced driver/mechanic responsible for the logistics involved getting from A to B, while the second crew member is the tour leader/ courier. The tour leader's job is to conduct the pre departure meeting, arrange activities, provide information, smooth out any mishaps along the way, delegate the day to day running of the overland rota and most importantly make sure you get the most out of your trip. Our dedicated crew will ensure that your trip is memorable. adventurous, fun and one of the best experiences you'll ever have
