Oasis Overland was formed by Chris Wrede and Steve Crowhurst 11 years ago when we realised that with 18 years of overlanding experience between us the time was right to begin our own venture. Our extensive knowledge of Africa, Middle East and South America had been gained by leading trips for larger more established companies, as well as our own independent travelling adventures.
Our crew have gained considerable knowledge and experience of travelling even before they join us. They have a passion and an enthusiasm for their work and for the countries and places we visit. Except in exceptional circumstances, on our Overland Adventures & Ultimate Expedition trips, all vehicles have a crew of two (Driver and Tour Leader). Our Regional Explorer trips are run with one Tour Leader.
Their experience and knowledge will enable you to get the most out of your trip and to have an unforgettable experience. Their roles are many and varied and include amongst other things, maintaining the truck throughout the trip, organising group activities and bookings, managing trip funds, overseeing group rosters, organising border crossings and permits, organising the day to day running of the trip and passing on general information to the group. However, Oasis crew are not guides as such, so do not expect them to hold your hand every step of the way - get out and experience things for yourself, read the guide books, get lost in markets, meet the local people and talk to them - it’s all part of the experience!
When you book directly with Oasis Overland you will have the security and peace of mind in knowing that we own and operate all of our own expedition vehicles, employ and train our own crew and will be the actual company running the trip. We have 24hr office backup & support as well as having full liability insurance and are bonded for your financial protection.
