Overland Tours
A popular way to see large countries and continents on a gap year trip is by Overland Tour. Pack your stuff along with camping gear onto a large truck with a group of eager travelers, and off you go on an adventurous tour. Forget sticking to roads, on an overland tour you are self sufficient and get to places you might not usually be able to. Combining camping with hostels and the odd hotel you can do things like follow Inca trails, camp out on the Serengeti or visit Chimps and Gorillas in East African Game Parks.
