Experience off-road travel and 4×4 adventures - overlanding at its best

About us

Our mission:
Adventures with soul - from the Balkans to the Sahara

Our mission is to create high-quality, professionally organized off-road trips that are planned down to the last detail. Over 20 years of experience as passionate overlanders make us your perfect companion when it comes to traveling off the beaten track. We follow a clear compass: We search for the last undiscovered spots and offer you the greatest possible nature experience in its most beautiful form.

Our new centerpiece: The Tunisian Sahara

Over the past few years, npl-overland.eu has embarked on a very special journey - one that has taken us deep into the African continent. The more often we have set off into the endless expanse of the Grand Erg Oriental, the stronger our connection to this magical landscape has grown. With each tour, we learned more, felt more and understood more.

The silence of the dunes, the warm light in the morning and the trust of the people traveling with us - all this has shaped us. Perhaps this is why we are now the leading German off-road tour operator for the Tunisian Sahara: because we don't just cross this desert, we accompany it with our hearts. For us, every tour is more than just a route in the sand - it is a chapter that we write together with you.

Our roots: Balkan expertise and a strong network

But our story began in the rugged mountains and dense forests of south-eastern Europe. We still have the largest network in the Balkans and know routes in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Albania that you won't find in any travel guide.

We work closely with our local partners in all travel countries: it is always our credo to involve the local people in our success and to immerse ourselves deeply in the respective culture. This means that we as a travel group are always welcome guests and gain insights that usually remain hidden to solo travelers.
