Traveller testimonials.

Overlanding is about sharing a great experience with like-minded people mainly aged between 18 to 40 years of age. But attitude is more important than age. Life on board a Dragoman truck is fun, as everyone will be expected to muck in with some of the chores and running of the trip. We are travelling overland so driving days are inevitable. But these will be interspersed with breaks of a day or two at a destination or activity.

You must be tolerant of others (you may have to go a couple of days without a shower!) and willing to be part of a group experience. There are loads of exciting activities such as white-water rafting, trekking, horse riding or cultural explorations. They involve an element of participation (don't be a party pooper) and the more you put in, the more fun you'll have. You'll also make new friends, often for life.

"I wanted to travel simply & responsibly without having to concern myself with travel arrangements, safety & carring all my stuff around or having to speak Spanish & I got just that. Thank you Dragoman!!"

"I really had a brillant time & just want to say that Babs, our leader, really deserves a lot of praise. I've been on a few overland trips before but have never come across someone as enthusiastic & motivated as Babs. She made the trip for all of us. I would definitely go on another encounter trip if I knew she was going to be the leader!!"
