Trips in Africa, Central Asia, Middle East and South America on our own purpose built overlanding vehicles with a crew of two from 15 days to 15 weeks. Our vehicles carry up to 24 travellers and are camping based trips.

Join this overland adventure through Turkey, the Caucasus states of Georgia and Armenia before travelling through Iran and ending in the isolated desert country of Turkmenistan.  From Istanbul to Ashgabat, this trip is full of fascinating and varied history, demonstrating the contested and often turbulent past of this relatively unknown region.  Those who do travel here are rewarded with breathtaking scenery from stunning snowy mountains to seemingly endless desert, ancient and medieval sites that rival and often outdo any found in Europe, and a wide array of eclectic cultures, with consistently friendly and welcoming locals.
