| Michael Ladden and Paul Shumway founded DRIVE THE GLOBE | Overland Adventures in early 1996. The original concept- dreamed up one late night riding in the back of an old Land Rover- was to journey overland across Africa in Vintage Land Rovers. The objective: cultural exploration and the challenge of enduring one long ride.
Trans-Africa Expedition Stage I was born and in early 2001 the dream was realized by 8 team members in 4 vintage vehicles. |

The journey did not end there. Shortly after returning plans were underway for further adventures. Michael and Paul drew upon their vast experience traveling and arranging expeditions around the world to continue to position the company as a unique travel alternative for adventure hungry clients.
DRIVE THE GLOBE | Overland Adventures is currently organizing several unique expeditions; including Across The Americas, Trans-Africa Stage II, Round The World and Explore Newfoundland. Our focus has always remained the same. If you share our dream please join us for an adventure of a lifetime. |
