After many years in the over landing industry listening to the needs, thoughts and suggestions of previous passengers we had a good idea of what passengers wanted from an overland vehicle and how to build it.
We believe our overland truck is the most important piece of equipment for any of our overland expeditions. Without it we wouldn’t be going far! It is our mode of transport and our home for the duration of our expeditions. For that reason we have chosen a late model Scania truck. We have tried and tested Scania vehicles over the years and they have proven to be very strong, reliable and most importantly comfortable.
Our 26 tonne Scania truck has been modified and custom built into a specialist overland vehicle. Gary’s experience as a mechanic and his knowledge of overland vehicles has allowed us to design a vehicle that is suited to over landing in Africa.
Individual reclining coach seats have been fitted. The seat positions are mixed with inward, forward and some rear facing seats. At times you will be spending long periods of time in the truck and we believe our passengers should be as comfortable as possible.
There are tables between the forward and rear facing seats so catching up on your diary, playing cards and socialising whilst on the road
Large spacious lockers are located outside the truck. Each locker is shared by two people and there is plenty of space for your backpack and any souvenirs you buy along the way.
For safety and security of personal items and belongings each locker has a three point locking mechanism that is lockable with a key. All lockers have been fitted with rubber seals to help keep out water, dust and dirt, however, even with taking these measures we cannot guarantee that rain, dust or dirt won’t get in. After all it is an expedition vehicle – not a submarine!!
Individual tinted glass windows have been fitted along the full length of the truck allowing for great sight seeing opportunities whilst providing protection from the suns rays. Each sliding window provides more control over the air flow around individual seating areas.
An on-board car stereo system has been fitted. It has a CD player, USB port and 3.5mm jack point socket for connecting iPod’s and MP3’s etc., so you can listen to your favourite music whilst on the road.
The truck hosts a number of different charging point options for your electronic equipment. We have installed USB charging points, 12 volt cigarette lighter sockets and 240 volt UK power points so there should be no problem charging cameras, iPods, mobile phones or any other electronic equipment whilst we are on the move. Remember to bring your charging leads with you. If you are not travelling from the UK, please remember to also bring a travel adaptor that will connect your equipment to a UK power point in order to charge your electronics.
The truck has been fitted with 6 large LED ceiling lights that can provide either brilliant white light or a dull blue glow for subtle lighting. There are also external LED working lights fitted outside the vehicle to make life in the camp a little easier at night.
A large water tank and the capacity to carry large amounts of diesel allows us to cover great distances in remote places without any issues.
A full range of cooking equipment including gas cookers, utensils, plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery, BBQ grill for cooking on an open fire, washing up bowls and long tables are carried on board. This allows us to stay in remote locations in relative comfort.
A comprehensive range of spare parts and equipment including tools, sand mats and shovels are carried on board.
An on board fridge freezer allows us to buy meat in bulk and keep our drinks cold.
