About Overland Expeditions
Not just a holiday, not just a tour - an overland expedition will take you further and keep you entranced longer. At Tourabout we have Overland Expeditions to Africa, Asia, India and the Sub Continent, and as well South America. From a couple of weeks in travelling to nearly 6 months in length - Tourabout's Overland Tour operators bring you the best Expeditions.
Big adventures through big landscapes; these journeys take you well off the beaten track to experience the sights, sounds and smells of remote regions up close. Travelling in purpose built vehicles along rugged roads, you'll search for wildlife, and visit isolated communities and camp in various accommodations, mainly tents. On an Overland journey you're more than just a passenger, you're part of the crew, pitching in to set up camp, shop for food and even cook. And, like all great adventures, the more you put in the more you'll get out! The interactive nature of an Overland Expedition is a key component of getting in touch with the country’s nature and culture. The type of travelling accommodation to expect can change for various tours, for example; when travelling through the Peruvian Amazon, accommodation will be in rustic cabins, with only cold water and mosquito nets provided. On Amantani Island, the stay is in basic mud-brick houses and on the Inca Trail or in the Torres del Paine National Park you are provided with a two person tent.
So do you want to do a long lap of South America? Take a 150 day trip from Venezuela to Lima the long way round seeing as far South as Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego. Or is The Silk Road or Rhubarb Road calling you? Tourabout has catalogued many different Overland Expedition Tour options which provide small open age groups that allow you to get up close with nature. The big focus of Overland Expeditions is on the culture, local environment and participating in chores, ensuring that you feel less of a "tourist" and more of an "explorer". Well-trained local drivers and guides are chosen for their expert knowledge, experience and passion for the region. So to narrow down your options please select a region or country that you would like to visit to obtain a more targeted list.
