Our Story

In 1997, Chris Wrede and Steve Crowhurst, having gained extensive knowledge of the areas Oasis Overland travels through by leading trips for other companies, as well as their own independent adventures, decided the time was ripe to start their own overland venture.

Between them they managed to scrape together enough money ....more

Sustainability

We, at Oasis Overland, realise the important role we have to play in ensuring that our trips are run responsibly to maximise the potential benefits to local communities and minimise the negatives. We believe that our trips should benefit local people and their environments, or at the very least not harm them.

Tourism is said to be the world's largest employer accounting for about 10% of global GDP and employing over 10% of the world's workforce. Not only does it play a crucial role in world economics, it has a significant impact on many people's day to day lives. If managed well it can be used to preserve natural environments, wildlife and people’s lifestyles and help people climb out of poverty but if managed poorly it can destroy natural environments and habitats and lead to serious human rights abuses.

Our Environmental Policy:
Oasis Overland are very conscious of the delicate balance that exists, in many of the countries we visit, between the need for foreign investment and revenue from tourism and the needs of local environments and the wildlife and people that inhabit them.

We encourage our travellers to act in a responsible manner by providing written, displayed environmental guidelines on all our trucks and these are re-emphasised during a pre-departure talk, by our crew, at the start of all our trips. This information is also provided on our website in order to help travellers prepare for their trip in an environmentally responsible way. These include the appropriate disposal of litter and waste materials; water conservation; respecting and conserving wildlife and their habitats; purchasing of endangered species products and so on.

We attempt to reduce the use of single use plastic water bottles by carrying drinking water on all of our trucks and encourage our travellers to use the water supplied. Whilst away from the truck we encourage the use of a filter water bottle and we are able to offer Oasis Overland customers a 15% discount on Water-to-Go bottles and filters using the code OASIS15. A further 15% of the water bottle cost is donated to Oasis charities.

We recognize our travellers' need to fly to the start point of our trips but, by travelling overland following this initial flight, rather than using internal flights, we reduce our carbon footprint.

If possible we try to use suppliers and accommodation providers that share our environmental concerns, for example in Ecuador our groups stay at the Arajuno Jungle Lodge and Forest Reserve. This project not only runs its accommodation on sustainable principles but supports the local community in a variety of ways and has a forest reserve, including native species reproduction project.

When we use local operators to take our travellers into game parks we ensure that they abide by park rules for example not getting too close to the animals; keeping to speed limits.

Oasis is very aware of the environmental impact of our office in the UK, so we recycle and compost as much of our waste as possible. We try to reduce paper usage as much as possible, but when necessary we use recycled paper and stationery. Our brochure is available to view or download online and the paper version is printed on stock produced from sustainable sources and vegetable based inks. We encourage the use of public transport on work-related journeys. ....less

Life changing, exhilarating, wonderful, at times tough and challenging.

I can't recommend Oasis enough. I have done two trips with them to Africa (Victoria Falls to Cape Town in 2013 and Nairobi to Vic Falls in 2017). The first trip was my first real travelling experience so I picked a shorter one but it just meant I had to go back for more a few years later because I loved it so much. The trips were well organised and went to amazing places with a good mix of structure and freedom, and it never felt like we were rushed even though a lot was packed into the time. The tour leader and driver looked after us well. I was lucky that the groups I was with were great too, because that can have such an impact.

We have been on 2 trips with Oasis through Africa. Both trips were fantastic!! The whole experience from initial booking and lead up communication, to the trip itself, with the wonderfully knowledgeable, hard working, friendly and fun crew, to all the amazing places we visited, things we saw and adventures we had, it was all a truly amazing experience!! Highly recommend Oasis Overland.

At 78 years old it has been one of the highlights of my life! The crew were 1st class and the rest of the travellers really looked after me. Highlights were Bariloche and Patagonia

I did the Trans Africa with Oasis Overland in 2013/2014 and it was fantastic. The company dealt with issues that arose over the 10month trip quickly and competently. My best travel memories and experiences came from this trip, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I've been on 3 trips with Oasis, the Silk Road and 2 in Africa, about 33 weeks in total, and planning on another now that covid restrictions aren't preventing it. I find the trips are organized so that you get to see the highlights along those routes, and you're travelling with people a mix of nationality and age so a solo traveler like me isn't alone. These trips are great value, would not have had such a terrific range of experiences otherwise.

Really loved this trip. The pre-trip information was great and Katie really went out of her way to help me. I though that camping for so long would start to get tiring but it really didn't plus there were plenty of opportunities to upgrade and some of the time this was very cheap. So many amazing things to see and do. Seeing the Gorillas in the wild was a highlight for me! Would highly recommend and hope to do another trip in the future.

If you like adventure travel, daily camping with the odd brick and mortar accommodation, moving daily from one place to another often off the beaten track, getting as close as possible to locals, in the company of like-minded fellow travelers, and at reasonable prices, then this is the travel company for you.

I highly recommend traveling with Oasis Overland. I did a 75 day trip through Africa with them in 2017 and I had an amazing time. From Victoria Falls, the Serengeti, and Great Zimbabwe, I got to see so many once-in-a-lifetime places in a much shorter time period than I would have been able to navigate on my own. The guide and driver were great and I always felt like all situations were handled well as things came up (like there was coup in Zimbabwe while we were there). The bus was comfortable enough and it was very conducive to socializing with other travelers. The group I traveled with was a good mix of nationalities and ages so everyone could find people to hang out with. I think Oasis does a good job of providing a mix of planned activities and free time and offers a good selection of excursions in the places we stopped.

Awesome adventure, White water rafting, sleeping amidst elephants, game drives, adrenaline hits, great company what more could you ask for!

Wonderful - well organised, great team, great co- travellers, amazing locations. Certainly challenging at times as weather very wet - apparently unusually so. Fast paced as well but expected that. I would go again at the drop of a hat. Thinking about the “Stans” trip in Central Asia..

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?

Yes, if you are travelling solo. On our Overland Adventures and Ultimate Expeditions, we will pair you up with a tent buddy of the same sex when we camp and the same goes for twin & shared rooms in hostels, so there is no need to go it alone! If you specifically would like to request your own single room whilst on the trip, this may be requested subject to availability and additional fee.

How many people do you take on your Trips?

On most of our Overland Adventures and Ultimate Expeditions our vehicles can carry a maximum of 24 travellers, the average however is around 16-20 on any one trip. Our Small Group Adventures have a maximum of 18 people per Tour Leader, although again the average is around 10-14 people.
