About this Drive
CEAT has partnered with WBB and we are embarking on a long expedition from Cape Town to Dubai traversing through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE, covering over 26000kms starting 1st of July this year. We are inviting participants in different legs. Have just 2 seats to offer though on each leg. Here’s the first one in South Africa.
We are on first of its kind overland self drive exploration from Africa to Arabia, i.e. from Cape Town to Dubai undertaken by a resilient all Indian crew on Indian vehicles, driven on Indian tyres to document offbeat experiences, sights & scenes, remote landscapes, mingle with forgotten cultures to facilitate seamless overland travel for future overlanders.
In each country, we have two seats to spare in certain legs; we invite interested travelers to join us for short sections
You can fly in to the nearest airport, join the WBB crew as they explore & document the best of South Africa on this massive first of its kind expedition.
You are welcome to live the expedition way of life with us for a few days.
Do book your seat if this interests you. Look forward to you joining us. Cheers!

- Local Engagement: We hire local resources and embed ourselves into the local economy as much as possible.
- Orientation: Prior to each expedition, we conduct an orientation to sensitize the team to environmental, cultural, and other sensitivities in the area.
