Tips from the rally expert.
No matter whether they are out individually or in convoy: each team decides for itself when and how it is on the road. That way there is nothing standing in the way of ultimate freedom and maximum fun with the vehicle features. " On particularly difficult terrain, you’ll have to buckle up and work ‘hard’ behind the wheel every once in a while," says Kevin Kooijman, the owner of Overland Travel and the group's travel guide. Thanks to his professional rally background, he is the perfect travel companion for the adventurers.
Independence from the group coupled with help where it's needed – that is Kooijman's recipe for the ultimate off-road experience. "On request I'm happy to give participants a few tips and tricks as to how they can unleash the off-road driver in them and still get their money's worth during the expedition."

Every day the participants are instructed about the next section of the route: things worth knowing about the route, time management, the culture, driving recommendations and border crossings – that way, anyone who wants to, can rely solely on themselves, the Zetros and the roadbook on that particular section.
For team members and individualists.
The advantage of this exceptional group trip: participants can travel to places that they would hardly be able to reach on their own – for example, every year the Namib desert is crossed by fewer adventurers than climb Mount Everest in the same time period. This is because, in parts the terrain is so challenging that drivers must accompany or tow each other – real teamwork is the order of the day here. In the evenings, around the camp-fire, the adventurers can then tell of their experience with the landscape, culture and of course their off-road vehicles.
Unforgettable moments and highlights to take home are guaranteed. So that participants can focus completely on enjoying the trip, Overland organises the transport of the Special Trucks to the starting point. And anyone who still hasn't had enough at the end of the trip can leave their vehicle parked there and continue the adventure on their own at a later date.
Around the World Tour: for Zetros and Unimog "Bliss Mobiles".
The Big Five Expedition is part of the "Bliss around the World" concept: a journey around the world, comprising several separate expeditions. The goal: to travel through all of the seasons, time zones and continents. No matter whether they are on the ice roads of Canada or following the path of the Silk Road – drivers of an Unimog or Zetros "Bliss Mobile" get their money's worth of all extremes.
Furthermore, Overland Travel also offers short and long-term expeditions of various degrees of difficulty – beginners and pros are equally welcome. In order to make sure that travellers are optimally prepared for their tour, the company has developed their own training expedition. The goal: in the Moroccan landscape so full of contrast, participants learn how to handle the expedition vehicle with confidence, to help others and themselves in challenging situations – and are optimally prepared for any other future Overland challenges.
