Lost in a 4x4 is a long-term overland travel and Jeep overlanding project focused on real-world vehicle-based adventure travel.
We created Lost in a 4x4 to document our long-term overland journey and share the real experience of life on the road across continents. During this stage of our journey, we are overlanding Africa, slowly stitching a route through remote regions, border crossings, and back roads. As the journey continues, our route will expand beyond Africa and evolve into a wider world overland travel project.
