Land Rovers and Africa are synonymous, ask just about any person what vehicle they would identify with Africa, and the response more often than not would be Land Rover. Land Rovers are still the vehicles of choice for trans African journeys and African exploration in general. The reasons for their suitability lies in their utilitarian construction which is both strong and functional. From a maintenance point of view they are generally easy to repair, especially earlier vehicles, and availability of both knowledge and spares is good throughout Africa.
