Croa­tia is beau­tiful, the trip was very well con­s­truc­ted so we saw a lot in a short time. Tom is a bril­li­ant gui­de with lots of know­ledge of histo­ry and the ter­rain as well as being able to help with the off roa­ding. The off road tracks were chal­len­ging, some of them the most chal­len­ging we have dri­ven, and took us to some awe­so­me sce­nes. The cam­ping was fun and added extras like the night at Puma made this unfor­gettable. Thanks Tom!

Voor ons was het de aller­e­ers­te off-road toer. Onze James (VW Trans­por­ter T6 fir­ma­toon sper­dif­fe­rentiel) kon de rit goed aan. Niko­la en Tom zorg­den voor een uit­s­te­ken­de ser­vice. De toer zelf was bui­ten­ge­woon mooi. Kam­pe­ren op afge­le­gen pla­ats­jes in de prachti­ge natuur. Ook de groep was heel fijn! Een ech­te aan­ra­der. We hope nog eens een toer te kun­nen mee­ma­ken!

This tour was per­fect from start to finish, from top to bot­tom! Nils and his team did an excel­lent job of gui­ding us into the desert and brin­ging us home safe­ly. Fol­lo­wing the topo­gra­phi­cal gui­de­lines, it was easy at the begin­ning to get to grips with the con­di­ti­ons and the per­for­mance of our own off-roa­der. During the 8 days in which we only had desert around us, dri­ving was the abso­lu­te prio­ri­ty. Nevert­hel­ess, the­re were impres­si­ve dune land­scapes, Table Moun­tain, a lost lake, Ber­ber cave hou­ses and even spon­ta­neous excur­si­ons to Car­tha­ge or Ham­ma­met. In addi­ti­on to the excel­lent sup­port and evening enter­tain­ment, the local gui­des also show­ed us what they are capa­ble of with a rear-wheel dri­ve pick­up in the deepest desert and the hig­hest dunes. Pure expe­ri­ence and con­cen­tra­ted know­ledge was gathe­red here and gave us a good, secu­re fee­ling at all times. Nils, thank you for this gre­at expe­ri­ence. I would love to come back and look for­ward to see­ing all the par­ti­ci­pan­ts again here and the­re on the various NPL OERLAND tours. See you soon!

Breath­ta­king — Chal­len­ging — Inge­nious

At this point we would like to take the oppor­tu­ni­ty to wri­te a report about our trip with NPL. Short ver­si­on — for all tho­se who don’t want to read so much — we would go on a trip with Nils again at any time. Honest, open and pro­fes­sio­nal from A to Z. For all tho­se who want to know more… Befo­re boo­king: Very pro­fes­sio­nal, indi­vi­du­al, com­pre­hen­si­ve advice on all trips. The most important thing here is hones­ty in rela­ti­on to expec­ta­ti­ons. We don’t sell what cos­ts a lot, but what you want to do! Pre­pa­ra­ti­on for the trip: Even after boo­king, always available and pro­fes­sio­nal in terms of the neces­sa­ry pre­pa­ra­ti­ons for the trip. Even when faced with the chall­enge that your own insu­rance com­pa­ny sim­ply does not want to insu­re the coun­try. Tra­vel arran­ge­ments: Mee­ting point at the fer­ry, get­ting to know each other… then the crossing to Tuni­sia and through cus­toms. Ever­y­thing went wit­hout a hitch. Of cour­se, it’s an exci­ting expe­ri­ence with such packed vehic­les. Once we arri­ved in the coun­try, after a gre­at night in the hotel with a hear­ty break­fast, we went to the gas sta­ti­on to set off in the direc­tion of the desert camp. As we were able to expe­ri­ence the tour with our 4‑year-old son, we would like to take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to say a spe­cial thank you to the who­le group for under­stan­ding the one or other break and the time he was allo­wed to do some­thing with you! Here is a clear note about tra­ve­ling with child­ren. This is not a recrea­tio­nal tour with sight­see­ing. Your kids need to have some tra­vel expe­ri­ence and be sadd­le fit. This should­n’t be the first adven­ture you go on. For us, it was a com­ple­te suc­cess with hap­py child­ren and par­ents. Saha­ra: Rea­ching the camp on the evening of arri­val is alre­a­dy the first chall­enge. Next time we’ll take the air out of the tires… :-) The first evening in the desert is spent get­ting to know the very nice Tuni­si­an gui­des, eating deli­cious food and going to bed ear­ly. The next few days begin with won­derful sun­ri­ses and end with some long days of dri­ving… But always with lots of new impres­si­ons and gre­at expe­ri­en­ces. We had a lot of fun in the tour group. Even the return jour­ney tog­e­ther to cus­toms and by fer­ry to Ita­ly main­tai­ned the posi­ti­ve mood. All in all, we had a very nice time. Now I would like to give you some very spe­cial details, which can be dif­fe­rent for ever­yo­ne: — Some very long dri­ving days, we were awa­re of that, but it must be clear. — Food: we had enough food for 10 days… But the food was so good that my wife and child hard­ly nee­ded any­thing extra — Water: We nee­ded about 80 liters. We could also have used the drin­king water from our sup­port vehic­le… Then 60 liters would have been enough for us — Fuel: We used up almost all of the 160 liters. As a petrol­head, you should defi­ni­te­ly take that into account. Now it only remains for me to say thank you once again. Thank you Nils, Artur and Walid for orga­ni­zing and accom­pany­ing us. Thanks to the par­ti­ci­pan­ts for the time tog­e­ther and not for­get­ting a thank you to our Tuni­si­an accom­pany­ing team. We look for­ward to the next trip.
