About Savannah Overland

Savannah Overland Expeditions is owned and operated by Gary Baker.

Gary was born in Africa and went to school in Zimbabwe and South Africa before emigrating to Australia. He is a fully qualified ‘A’ Grade mechanic / diesel fitter and worked in the mining industry for almost 10 years. Maintaining the overland safari truck will be no problem – it’s all in a days work!

We moved to London in 2002 for a change of lifestyle and to travel more. Since being in the UK we have had the opportunity to work in the over landing industry in Africa, South America and the Middle East. Each continent is amazing in its own right but Africa holds a special place in our heart.

Any spare time we get we like to spend travelling independently and have now been to over 135 countries on all continents and are quite experienced at travelling on a budget.

We decided to start our own overland expedition company because we believe we can offer a unique African adventure to anyone who has an adventurous spirit. We have gained a lot of experience throughout our own travels and understand what it is passengers are looking for when they embark on the journey of a life time.

We would like the opportunity to help you experience all Africa has to offer.
