Offroad driving

Crossing remote country in a 4x4 on unpaved tracks.

Off-road driving reaches deserts, highlands and salt flats that no ordinary car can, on tracks with river fords and no services. Most trips go with a local driver-guide; driving yourself needs the right vehicle, experience and respect for local rules on leaving the track.
