Overland

Craving wide open spaces, blockbuster beaches, out-of-the-way campsites and nights sleeping under the stars? An overland adventure through Australia offers all this and more.

It’s fair to say overland travel isn’t for everyone. But for those that give it a go, the rewards are massive.

“I’m travelling on an 8-day adventure through Kenya and Tanzania’s incredible national parks, landscapes and villages. It’s my first visit to Africa, but I know it won’t be my last.”

There aren’t many things left in the world that can be called a genuine Adventure, but this is one of them.

My wife and I left our jobs and lives in San Francisco last year to drive the Pan American highway from Canada to Patagonia in a camper van. That’s when we became…overlanders.

The beaming and curious smiles of the locals watch on as we load our bags into the back locker of our overland truck. The dirt road snakes its way onwards through gentle hills, punctuated by traditional thatched straw homes. Smoke from early morning cooking dots the horizon and mixes with the cool mist in the early morning sun. Another epic day on the road awaits.

The New Year is nearly here and at Intrepid that means one thing: new challenges. But that’s a little vague, right? I mean, how exactly will you challenge yourself this year?
