Campsite or off-grid, our Howling Moon Roof Tents are ready in minutes
Our tents are the best you can get. Made in South Africa to defy extreme conditions, they’re the number 1 choice for serious adventurers & safari tour operators. Durable, thermal, water & windproof & super easy to put up for you to hop into as soon as the stars come out.
We’ve personally tried & tested Howling Moon Roof Tents against the best the competition has to offer over the years, & still, these tents come out on top, every time (which is why we’ve put them on top of our Land Rover Defenders!). So, whether you’ve camped before or not, you can rest assured: this adventure has comfort & warmth stitched into every seam.

Eloping in a Landy!
We hired an Overland Adventures Land Rover for our wedding car, and took it on a wonderful adventure when we eloped in the Scottish Borders in January. The hiring experience was so easy and smooth, and the service we received from Tracey was fantastic. The vehicle itself was really well looked-after and made our wedding so special! Would highly recommend.
Wonderful
We had a wonderful experience with Overland Adventures this past summer! We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids aged form 11 ton6) and wanted to travel in Scotland. Even though we didn’t plan our trip very much in advance, Tracey and Darren gave us plenty of useful advice to help us designing our trip considering we were travelling with kids. The communication with them was very efficient and smooth.
We found the car very well fitted and enjoyed our experience very much. A lot of attention is paid to small details which makes the experience even better. We all enjoyed the confort of the tents and the kids enjoyed very much taking an active part in having things settled when arriving and leaving.
Finally, the briefing and the handling of the car where very good. We will be back once to visit Northumberland this time (taking into consideration what Tracey and Darren told us about it)!! Thank you
Perfect
We took a hire for 3 nights. Slept like babies. Wildcamped in Scotland. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you!
Incredible!
From start to finish this was an amazing experience. Can’t fault any aspect of the trip except the wind in the Scottish Highlands! Our Land rover was awesome. Such a cool ride and packed with everything we could possibly need. Even a hot-water bottle. We didn’t manage the whole of the NC500 and will definitely be back to do the rest. An incredible place with the best scenery we have ever seen.
Thank you Overland
What a great time we’ve had. The jeep was packed with absolutely everything we could have needed. We were a little concered the tent might be a handful getting up and down but it wasn’t at all. The Queen size bed was a dream and nothing quite compares to waking and preparing breakfast in the hills or in the dunes. Honestly can’t fault this experience at all. Thank you x
