WARNING
! This site may rob you of the thrill of firsthand discovery. It contains pictures
and details about routes and destinations, which are "spoilers" to the self-sufficient
vehicle dependant adventure traveller. These spoilers may distract from the
wonderful experience of discovering a new or seldom used track, or stumbling
upon a beautiful campsite (or a National Park/Nature Rerserve) the first time...
The reason the OverLand Forum was created is so that individuals who have an
active interest in self-sufficient vehicle dependant overland travel can share
experiences, ask advice, and discuss all aspects that are associated with all
wheel drive overland travel. This site does NOT cover travel by Overland Truck
! Here we share the true gems this hobby offers. It is mainly aimed at overland
travel in Africa South of the Sahara. Do note ! The spectrum is fairly wide
but it may include diverse aspects of offroad travel such as expedition travel,
adventure travel, safaris and all the quipment used on such a trip. Discussions
about destinations, routes, vehicles and camping equipment are invited. Overland
travel is more than deciding which freezer, rooftop tent or GPS to buy, or where
to get the best deal on BFG M/T's.
Overlanding travel does not consist of seeing who can tick off the most destinations,
or who attempts the most remote trips, or who can collect the most toys. Overlanding
is a state of mind, a searching for knowledge and experiences of other places,
peoples and cultures, a process that exposes you to the wonders and delights
of nature's diversity, whether it is a Trans African trip or a walk in your
local park. When someone on the email forum decides to share such an event for
our information to broaden our own knowledge base we welcome it. Sharing information
is what the forum is about.
