Putting their motto, "Safari as a way of life" to the test, Dutch Safari Company attempt to drive two vintage 2-door Range Rovers from Austin, Texas to Big Bend National Park, more than 1200-miles round trip.
Childhood friends and business-partners Erica Plumlee and Nick Van Den Akker, grew up craving adventure. When fate brought a Land Rover series into their lives, they began to plan one for the ages, a trip to Patagonia.
Not wanting to ruin the Series, they decided it would be better to import a Land Rover from Europe and began the long and complicated process of figuring out how to do that.
Four years and dozens of cars later they have streamlined the very complicated process of buying and importing a classic car to the point where it's become their livelihood in the form of a concierge business, Dutch Safari Company.
Importing a range of classics, from G-Wagons to Porsches, they have found a niche in the ever-iconic 2-door Range Rover Classic.
With reliability at the forefront of their mind, the cars they select and import are given a thorough inspection and service to get them to a daily driver standard, allowing those with limited mechanical knowledge to enjoy the classics of their youth.
"Safari As A Way of Life" is more than just a motto for Erica and Nick, it's what drives who they are and the mark they want to make in this world. It may be cars that they are importing, but above all else, it's that connection to others that these classics offer that defines them.
