Our story
Road trips to explore unknown lands and meet the local people are our great passion, which was kindled during an extensive road-trip around the African continent. When our children came along, we bought our first UAZ minibus and converted it into a 4×4 camper – the perfect vehicle for independent adventures in rural areas.
After a journey to the Republic of Dagestan, we were so impressed by the hospitable people and the breathtaking nature of the Caucasus that we decided to settle here. After successfully establishing ourselves as specialists in the North Caucasus for several years, the conflict in Ukraine understandably dampened the enthusiasm of many international guests for visiting Russia.
We expanded our tours into the South Caucasus and now offering our perfectly organized self-drive trips in Georgia as well.
Below, you’ll find the latest issues of our newsletter, with fresh images and travel reports from the Caucasus region.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
