overlanding

Go West!

Avid overlander and 4×4 enthusiast, PATRICK CRUYWAGEN, compares the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona, to other overland and 4×4 shows around the world. What he saw and experienced there was a bit of a culture shock… quite unlike anything he had ever come across in other countries.

The last Samurai

Suzuki Jimny has gained a cult following in recent years. It’s known as a pocket-sized off-roader with capability similar to that of the hardebaarde on the 4×4 trails and overlanding adventures. The genesis of the Jimny is the humble Samurai – the so-called OG (original). As with most classics, LIAM O’CONNELL prefers the original over the remix. He pays homage to his four-wheel partner.

Not just a car

For most people, a car can be just a tool or a form of transport, but as BOET BOTES explains, for him it’s the living embodiment of his passion for overlanding.

From turf to surf and back

It’s an age-old conundrum… bush or beach? Do you want to spend your time game viewing and camping under the glorious African sky, or do you prefer feeling the sand between your toes as the waves of the ocean lap at the shore and the sun caresses your face? But why choose if you can do both, as RICHARD CAMPHER discovers.

Go Buffalo!

In a previous issue we met DONNA and KEVIN KRUMMECK on their epic journey from Dundee in South Africa to Dundee in Scotland. This time they explore a little closer to home in their new home on wheels.

For the love of the brand

One life, live it. For many people, that saying is part their culture. For them, every trip, big or small, is an adventure. They are the living embodiment of the adventure lifestyle, and their beloved brand is the poster child for all things overlanding. Once a year, they all gather to celebrate all things Land Rover at the LandyFest. ANTON WILLEMSE JNR joined in the fun… and almost became the proud owner of a Landy in the process!

A “Mata” of taste

A few years ago, South African traveller, photographer and foodie, Maricha van Heerden and her husband Butch, traded their old life for adventure, and now they spend their time exploring and experiencing all this continent has to offer with their customised camper, The Honey Badger.

Have Landy, will travel: Chartwell 2 Chartwell Pt.1

100 days. That is how long it took the intrepid team on the Autobarn Chartwell to Chartwell (C2C) mission to cross 23 countries and 22 000km between Chartwell in South Africa and Chartwell in the United Kingdom. Although only three of the seven vehicles made it to the destination, their story is a riveting one.
