G Adventures deploys the Lando

G Adventures announces the launch of Lando, its new overland adventure vehicle (OAV), purpose-built for today’s modern traveller and designed to maximize safety and comfort.

The fleet of 10 ‘Landos’ (a play on the word ‘overland’ and the Star Wars character Lando Calrissian) will be introduced on most G Adventures overland trips in eastern and southern Africa from this month, with the rollout being completed by July.

Each truck features full body seatbelts, reclining seats with side-seat movement for extra shoulder room, a 250-litre water tank to reduce the use of plastic bottles, onboard Wi-Fi, USB chargers at every seat, large front windows for better views of wildlife, and windows designed specifically for photography.

The Lando will operate on 22 G Adventures Yolo itineraries (adventures for 18 to 39 year olds) covering Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Tanzania, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.  G Adventures Yolo trips in Africa are primarily camping trips (with some hotel accommodation) that are fast-paced, cover a lot of distance, and provide younger travellers with the opportunity to see as much as possible at a more affordable price.
