A far cry from the early days of overland travel where there was no internet, no guide books and very little in the way of organised tours, travellers can now travel in the relative luxury of custom-built overland trucks with tour companies pre-arranging the logistics for their trip. While you are no longer required to ‘rough it’ like back in the day, overland tours still require an adventurous mind-set and a willingness to involve yourself, both with the local people and your fellow travellers.
While it may not seem that important from the comfort of your home, your overland vehicle is an essential consideration when choosing an overland tour. Vehicles vary from the more comfortable forward facing kind to those that face inwards. Other companies still use vehicles without windows while others, like us, have big windows that open and close to the elements.
We don’t like to boast but our trucks are the best. You can spot them from a mile away, they take the bumpy roads in their stride and their size makes them nice and spacious, even for a big group.
We see these trucks as part of the family. We take good care of them and look upon them with affection. Every truck has been named after a member of the Tucan Travel family and it won’t take long for you to develop an attachment to this larger than life group member.
