Overland Travel
Slow Adventures
Practical Planning
We’re Raoul and Karen, a couple building toward a slower, more intentional life of travel, storytelling and self-drive adventure.
Overland For Two follows our journey through Southern Africa, Australia and beyond — from planning the trip, choosing the right vehicle, learning from mistakes, filming the road, and sharing the kind of practical detail we wish we had before we started.
This is not about luxury travel or rushing from highlight to highlight.
It is about the joy of the open road, quiet camps, wild places, good planning, and the freedom that comes from designing life on your own terms.
What You’ll Find Here
Travel Stories
Videos, photos and reflections from the road — the landscapes, wildlife, campsites, border crossings, mistakes, wins and quiet moments that make overland travel worth doing.
Practical Overland Planning
Real-world lessons on routes, vehicles, gear, costs, safety, accommodation, packing and self-drive travel through Africa and Australia.
Travel Tools & Templates
We create simple planning resources to help you prepare better, avoid common mistakes, and feel more confident before you go.
Why Overland For Two Exists
We know what it feels like to dream about Africa, road trips, wildlife, wide open spaces and a life with more freedom — but also to feel overwhelmed by the planning.
Where do you stay?
What do you pack?
Which vehicle setup makes sense?
How much will it cost?
What do you need to know before you go?
Overland For Two is our way of documenting the journey honestly while helping others plan their own.
We are not experts sitting on a pedestal. We are travellers, learners and planners sharing the process as we go.
