Why you don’t need a 4×4 Overland Truck – and what you need instead
Can you drive around the world in a two-wheel drive truck? Yes you can!
We are Pete and Kirsten, and we are overland travel addicts. Having been lucky enough to work in the overland tour industry for many years including owning our own overland travel company, we are now heading off on independent overland adventures with our 2 kids.
We love overland trucks. As in, we *really* love them. Have pictures of them on our walls. Had models of overland trucks on the table at our wedding. You know, that sort of love. After we had kids we sold off all our old overland trucks and we were truck-free for a couple of years. But the lure of overland trucks was too much for us to resist and so Pete started building us a very different type of overland truck for us – designed as a home on wheels for our family of 4.
Meet “Odyssey” our awesome new truck! Follow our adventures on Facebook and Instagram, and on our blog posts.

Visiting Clarens and Golden Gate National Park in winter, with kids.
The feeling of space and alone-ness when camping in Tankwa Karoo National Park is quite incomparable. Beautiful scenery adds to the experience. It is truly a place to get away from it all.
Why Mountain Zebra National Park should be on your list of must-visit parks, and how I returned from cheetah tracking sunburnt, wind swept and blown away.
Our list of the top outdoor activities around Gansbaai & De Kelders when you and the kids want to be outside and stretch your legs.
A lovely family day trip to De Mond Nature Reserve, 1.5 hours from Gansbaai. Beaches, fynbos and a lovely hike.
