Big Trips for 2021 and 2022

Happy New Year everyone! If you’re dreaming big when it comes to your future travel plans, we’ve got some big trips lined up for you in 2021 and 2022!

Make up for a lack of adventure in 2020 with a one off overland trip from Cape Town to Alexandria this June or join our annual Trans Africa expedition from UK to Cape Town or Cairo in November.

If you long to explore South America, journey with us over 27 weeks from Colombia to the mountains of Patagonia and the mighty Amazon in Brazil on our Trans South America this August.

Last but not least is our 24 week Trans Asia trip which travels from Istanbul to Singapore each April or for something really different, join us on a one off expedition from London to Kathmandu via Russia and the Stans, returning to Istanbul via India and Pakistan. This one starts in April 2022 so plenty of time to plan and save!

If you don't quite have the full time to spare, all these journeys have sections you can join. Contact us to find out what's possible.

We hope you're inspired to do something different in 2021 or 2022 and join us on one of these incredible adventures!

Oasis Trip Announcement

We are all very excited here at Oasis HQ to let you know that it is time to get our custom built, big yellow trucks back out on the road.


As you are all aware, we have had to park up trucks around the world, while this pandemic has been spreading globally. Our ambition has always been to get back up and on the road as soon as we are able to, so that you can get to go on your trips, and so that people in local communities in the different countries we travel through can be supported again. We have of course had to take many difficult and sad decisions in postponing trips throughout 2020, since the pandemic's first real emergence back in March.

Taster Weekend Success

On the 25th – 27th September we held our first successful UK taster weekend in the Peak District.


As the Summer was drawing to an end, and ahead of lockdown 2.0, we held our first ever Taster Weekend in Matlock, the Peak District. Despite lots of challenges being thrown our way with changing rules as a result of Covid19, we managed to adapt our weekend so that we were in small bubbles of 6 or less and we all enjoyed a fantastic weekend together.

Crew Focus: Tour Leader Mark

How long have you been overlanding and how did you get into it? Which Oasis areas have you worked in?

I inadvertently fell into Overlanding in the Middle East in early 2008 with Kumuka Worldwide. At the time I was travelling independently from Istanbul to Cape Town working where I could in the Scuba diving industry. I had never seen an Overland Truck, nor, did I know of their existence until a fateful night in the “Sand Pit” camp ground in Aqaba.
