An Overland Truck is an experience. Travel in an overland truck offers a truly immersive, affordable and distinct way to get to a given destination.
Designed for adventure-focused travellers, an overland truck is purpose-built to handle Kenya’s diverse terrain — from remote savannahs and dusty tracks to river crossings and untamed bush routes.
An overland truck is ideal for groups seeking authentic travel and safari experiences without the high costs of lodge-based travel.
Our overland trucks comfortably accommodate groups of 16 to 35 travellers, making them perfect for group safaris, student tours, expeditions, and budget-conscious adventurers. Built with elevated seating and open or semi-open designs, they offer excellent game viewing while keeping everyone together as one travelling unit. The focus is on shared discovery, camaraderie, and flexibility rather than fixed itineraries.
Accommodation on overland safaris is typically tent-based, with camps set up and managed by an experienced overlanding crew. Travellers sleep under canvas in scenic wilderness locations, often far from busy tourist circuits. Meals are prepared and enjoyed together — sometimes around a campfire, sometimes under the open African sky — creating unforgettable moments of connection, storytelling, and shared adventure in the middle of nowhere.
Beyond safaris, overland trucks are also an excellent option for team-building trips, retreats, and special interest groups. The shared travel, communal living, and hands-on nature of overlanding naturally foster teamwork, resilience, and bonding. For those looking to step away from comfort zones and experience Kenya in its raw, authentic form, overland truck travel delivers adventure in its purest sense.
Our 16, 28 and 35-seater overland trucks are purpose-built expedition vehicles designed to transport passengers, luggage, camping equipment and essential supplies comfortably over long distances across Kenya and East Africa.
