Overlanding Inspiration :: Gareth Griffiths 🗺️

It began in 2005 with the acquisition of a Land Rover Defender 90 and quickly evolved into a protracted series of expeditions through Africa and across all of Europe and Asia. Known as Sirocco Overland, this continued adventure is the work of Gareth and Lisa, two ambitious travelers with unassailable wanderlust. Now in Australia preparing to explore their fourth continent, we caught up with Gareth and Lisa for a quick chat.

2003 Land Rover Discovery II :: Featured Classified

Cue today’s one-owner (includes original purchase documentation) 2003 Land Rover Discovery II (102,881 miles on the chassis/49,300 miles on the rebuilt motor). It takes a certain level of obsession to own a vehicle for this length of time and to consistently invest in and evolve it. The specifications are extensive, so I recommend referencing the original forum post for full details, but include a rebuilt and upgraded V8 motor, RoverTym Engineering suspension, Detroit Truetrac front and rear torque-biasing differentials, Dual Odyssey and Redarc battery system, and a premium infotainment/audio system installed by Musicar Northwest.

Main Line Overland 1980 Mercedes Unimog 416 🚒

If you asked me what an overland truck needs, I’d probably tell you good tires, a reliable motor, and the bare minimums of equipment to keep you comfortable. For some, that might be a blanket and a backpacking tent, for others possibly a pop-up camper, but the point is to keep to things as simple and straightforward as possible. However, some vehicles don’t need to be practical. I’m a firm believer that every now and then we need a vehicle that is so absurdly impractical that the only justification for driving it is simply for the sake of having fun. After all, no child puts a poster of a beige Corolla on their wall. They hang purple Lamborghinis, bright-red Ferraris, neon-orange trophy trucks, and if they made a poster of it, they would undoubtedly hang up Main Line Overland’s Unimog too.

Overlanding Inspiration :: Jan and Leoné Vorster 🗺️

Jan and Leoné traveled overland long before the convenience of fax machines, personal computers, and the omnipotent internet. How challenging but rewarding must it have been to travel the Global South in the late ’60s without the convenience and distraction of the modern world? It is unimaginable how difficult it must have been to source and ship a suitable vehicle, research routes, apply for visas, and overcome the nearly impenetrable bureaucracy that smothers us even today to transport and covert currency, navigate, and communicate.

Michnus and Elsebie Olivier – PikiPiki Overland 🗺️

Michnus and Elsebie are explorers with an insatiable thirst for authentic adventure. They chose to ride two medium-size motorcycles and have established themselves as experts in the field of motorcycle travel. They are people of great humor and integrity, the salt of the earth. Their photography stands out from the crowd, partially due to technical excellence, but mostly due to their eye for the culturally exceptional and the relationship of trust which they establish with their human subjects. Michnus and Elsebie are not interested in bucket lists or the ticking of boxes; they ride for the love of travel and immerse themselves deep within the countries they explore.

The End of the Journey to the End of the World 🗺️

My journey through the Americas was going swimmingly, if you discount the near-fatal crash of a riding companion in Bolivia, a top-end meltdown (and rebuild) in Peru, and an oil consumption rate that was boosting the South American economy. In Chile, I had met a French girl named Rachel, who was exploring Latin America on her Kawasaki KLR250. We decided to ride together for the last leg of my journey—to Ushuaia, the most southerly town in the world, at the very tip of South America.
