Travel With Us
Our Overlanding Channel is something unique not only do we share our vehicle builds with you and our adventures, but most importantly we promote an insight into the vanishing world we call our home.
OVERLANDING
This is our passion. To date, we have traveled over 300 000 km telling the stories of various conservation organizations, collecting scientific data, changing behaviour around sustainability, and telling stories.
SCIENCE
Coming from a scientific background, we have been able to use our travels to collect data for various publications on our travels. Through partnering with organizations such as the WWF, UNep, and the Fresh Water Research Center. We have pursued our curiosities by making a measurable difference.
EDUCATION
This is where it all started driving to schools in rural Africa to assist teachers with educational resources, manage community workshops and equip the students with citizen science tools. In addition to the 100 000 plus learners reached, we also manage distribution programs for reading glasses and sanitary products.
EXPEDITIONS
This is what we specialize in, designing and implementing unique multi-disciplinary campaigns. Focusing on human behavior change, conservation issues, climate change, sustainability, and storytelling. Our team turn-key approach ensures we are able to continue managing these award-winning adventures.
AWARDS
We would like to thank you all for nominating us for the numerous awards we have won to date. They are a testament to hard work and our innovation in conservation communication, contribution to citizen science, multi-disciplinary approaches to environmental issues, and awareness among youth.
CITIZEN SCIENCE
We are proud to say that we have been equipping youth with “citizen science” tools long before it became the buzzword it is today. We believe it to be one of the most powerful tools for conservation today, and for this reason, it is a cornerstone to our educational programs and expeditions.
CURIOSITY
It is said that “Curiosity Acted Apon Is Exploration” and for this reason, we are proud to say that we have created the e4k® Curiosity Fund. To help fund the mobile classroom programs, glasses distribution projects, humanitarian andinitiatives, re-wilding initiatives, storytelling grants, and assist others to enter the field of exploration.
STORY TELLING
As a team of Photographers, Videographers, and Drone Pilots we take every opportunity to plan and research the stories we want to tell of the areas we travel through. In addition to working on our own content, we have also had the privilege of working for various brands, lodges, and organizations to capture their stories in the remote corners of our planet.
AWARENESS
Awareness is ingrained in our mission statement, to promote Education Through Adventure®. No matter the project, program or adventure as a team we believe in using our platforms to impart knowledge and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world. We also do our best to help you protect it for future generations through our e4k® Curiosity Fund.
COMMUNITY
Having spent our lives growing up in the African Bush we have come to see the value of community and belive this to be the foundation for success. Be it elders emparting culture and knowleledge, or conservationists colaborating at the cutting edge of science.
