Guided Travel
Bespoke 1 on 1 Adventure
-
Since this type of travel is the real thing, there is a lot more moving parts and often less room for error. As a result, this option is offered to clients that have done previous training with us or clients who have a certain level of experience in remote 4WD-based traveling.
-
The goal with this offering is to provide peace of mind for those who plan on traveling through a certain area or on a certain route that is more extreme. This could refer to remoteness, difficulty level of the roads, safety in being more than one vehicle, being among wild animals, etc.
-
Not only does a maximum of two vehicles provide a smooth method of traveling, it also means that the balance between relaxation and adventure is up to what you want out of your adventure.
~ Pioneering your own adventure. ~
This is authentic Overlanding where the client is involved with the planning. You'll experience an expedition that is unique to you, as though pioneering your own adventure on the African continent.
Some destinations and routes require a higher level of competence, or simply more than one vehicle due to remoteness or difficulty. Certain components of Overlanding are daunting at best, especially when it's your first time. Having someone that's done it before with you provides peace of mind. When the inevitable challenges arise, you'll be involved in the solutions without having to work them out on your own.
This is your adventure...
As mentioned previously, learning the ropes in real-life is invaluable with adventure pursuits. This might be aspects such as border crossings, navigation in more remote parts of Africa where roads and maps don't always correlate, dealing with officials and paperwork, planning the logistics surrounding fuel and water, any unexpected scenarios that arise, etc.
Where it takes place : Where the travels take us
How Long : However long the adventure is
How it works:
You'll choose a destination that you're interested to explore. We'll then plan the details and route together. From camping every night to staying in Lodges. From taking the faint dotted lines on the map to using better-known tracks. From making bookings in advance to making it up as we go along. We will give our inputs as necessary in conjunction with Satori Africa / Routes Rediscovered and plan an expedition that will suit your appetite for adventure and travel as good as possible.
You'll then drive in your own vehicle and we'll drive in ours, both vehicles prepared accordingly for the adventure that awaits. Although there will be information shared and scenarios dealt with as we travel, this won't be training focused. It will be about soaking in the discovery of new places and angles under the stars.
Benefits of traveling with an additional vehicle:
This offering is not only for first-time Overlanders, as being part of a two-vehicle convoy has its benefits.
Taking on more extreme tracks is possible with the second vehicle offering more recovery options.
A second vehicle reduces the necessity of carrying certain items all in one vehicle and provides additional carrying capacity if needed.
It therefore provides more possibilities in certain overlanding situations, without compromising the flexibility and ease of travel of a small group.
