Beginner’s Guide to Overland Travel

In its broadest sense, overland travel means travelling without flying. But this would perhaps imply that every short road trip is overlanding, which isn’t quite correct.

In fact, overland travel has an association with a longer, slower journey, with the traveller often not having a timetable and happily going alone while taking in the surroundings at a snail’s pace, or upon transport availability.

In this article, we will try to delineate the various types of overland travel while also identifying some notable overlanders who have caught our attention. Read The Beginner’s Guide to Overland Travel here.
