Camel Trophy 1987 takes you through the torturous jungle tracks, swamps and desert roads of Madagascar. Share the experience of the fourteen two-men teams as they take on the elements and each other along their fifteen hundred mile, three-week journey.

Camel Trophy 1988 features the wild and seldom, if ever, traversed terrain of the Indonesian isle of Sulawesi. This unforgiving landscape provided the perfect challenge for man and machine, thankfully captured for you to enjoy, over and over again.

Camel Trophy 1989 took competitors into the 'Green Hell' - the Amazon - or the toughest event to that date. As if 1000 miles of gruelling rainforest track wasn't enough, the organisers chose the rainy season to do it, adding another, rather muddy, dimension to the challenge

For the first time the event moves north, to the immense Talga forest of Siberia. The yellow Land Rover Discoverys have to battle their way through the final wilderness in the northern hemisphere. One day choking in dust, the next windscreen-deep in either mud or freezing water, men and machines have to get through to Lake Bikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world. On the way the constant struggle draws the competitors together in a spirit of shared hardship and adventure, but Special Tasks on the way keep up the pressure to find the winning team. The first international motor sport event ever held in the Soviet Union - competitors from 16 countries - 1000 miles of perestroika: The Camel Trophy.

Competition, expedition or adventure? Camel Trophy is in fact all of these. 1991 and Camel Trophy travels to Africa for the second time in the event's history to tackle a 1600km route over little used tracks and traversing some of the world's most spectacular scenery teeming with precious wildlife. Travelling in identical Land Rover Discoverys the seventeen amateur teams from as many countries set off from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to fight their way through waist deep mud and two metre high elephant grass, climbing the hills of Burundi to the finish in the capital, Bujumbura. The target for the two man crew of each vehicle is to conquer natural obstacles along the way. They soon learn that only team work and determination will help them reach their final goal whilst keeping up a competitive edge through the challenging Special Tasks. Their prize is the Camel Trophy

Over its thirteen year history, Camel Trophy has become the world's greatest amateur adventure expedition, testing both man and machinery to their limits. From dense jungle tracks to flooded savannah plains, Camel Trophy '92 covered some of the most diverse and spectacular scenery in South America. Equipped with identically prepared Land Rover Discoverys, the sixteen amateur teams from four continents set off from Manaus, Brazil on their 1600km journey, covering some of the remotest and formidable territory in the world before reaching their destination of Georgetown, Guyana. Participants soon realise that no one man can hope to achieve this goal alone. Team work, patience and above all, a sense of humour play a vital role if the convoy is to reach its final destination.

In 1993 the world's foremost adventure exhibition took sixteen national teams through 1500km of tropical torment and tested every one of them to the limit. Equipped with identically prepared Land Rover Discoverys, the teams circumnavigated Sabah. Leeches fell... and bit. Torrential storms washed away roads and bridges. Fatigue sapped every last drop of energy. The participants, displaying a rare team spirit, deserved their awards and congratulations. They had not only overcome every threatening obstacle thrown their way, but had also left behind a valuable and lasting scientific reminder of their efforts in the shape of an ecological field station in the Maliau Basin.

Never before has the Camel Trophy visited so many of the world's empty quarters, crossed so many borders, or seen such a variety of landscapes as in 1994. By the time they had navigated their way across the vast barren wilderness of the Atacama Desert to the finish line, they had passed through some of the continent's most extreme environments. Sweltering swamplands, impenetrable scrub, deep dry river washouts and sandstone gorges gave way to mountain passes with crumbling edges and hair raising drops. The teams stopped only to build a crucial scientific research station in the foothills of the Andes. For the 36 participants who came in search of challenges that would break new frontiers in human tolerance and adventure, Camel Trophy Argentina Paraguay Chile '94 undoubtedly fulfilled their dreams.

Adventure, discovery and achievement unparalleled in Camel Trophy history - that was the dramatic scenario of the 1995 event which took a record entry of 20 teams in Land Rover Discoverys across the fascinating Mundo Maya nations of Central America, from the breathtaking Opening Ceremony at the Jaguar Temple to the final backdrop of the Temple of El Castillo. Now you can follow their arduous trek through searing heat and tough terrain, as stunning photography and a gripping narrative details their often record-breaking battle against stifling jungle, swarms of insects, rivers and mud, rewarded by breathtaking scenery and the fabulous mysteries of Mayan civilisation. Along the way gruelling Challenges, Special Tasks and an intriguing archaeological Event Objective added spice to the fire.

The spirit of the Camel Trophy was never more evident than in the 1996 event, which combined 4WD adventure and achievement unmatched in its seventeen year history. First there was the inhospitable terrain, as Camel Trophy '96 became the first expedition to complete a 1850km East-West vehicular crossing of Kalimantan, the remote jungle heartland of Indonesian Borneo. Then there were the conditions - the searing heat, monsoon rains, relentless glutinous mud and huge river crossings. But there was also breathtaking primary rainforest, the beauty and friendliness of the local people and the extraordinary camaraderie this event inspires. In just 22 days, teams from 20 countries battled their way towards the golden beaches of Pontianak in a convoy of 38 Land Rover Discoverys and Defender 110s.

Mongolia is perceived as one of the most isolated, inaccessible locations in the world. In 1997 it proved a suitably challenging environment for an event billed as the world's greatest adventure challenge - the Camel Trophy. Forty competitors from 20 nations gathered in the modern capital of Ulaanbaatar for the start of Camel '97. From there they took their Land Rover Discoverys over existing roads and tracks through a country of extremes - from the sub-zero temperatures of the northern mountains to the heat of the Gobi desert. After circumnavigating a country three times the size of France, the event finished in the ancient capital of Karakorum, home of Mongolia's largest Buddhist monastery. Along the way, the teams visited eight competition sites and also competed in mountain biking, kayaking, 4x4 driving and orienteering awards.

From the bustling metropolis of Santiago, capital of Chile, the forty competitors from twenty countries headed south on their three week South American adventure in what proved to be the most enjoyable and challenging Camel Trophy ever. In 1997 criss-crossing between Chile and Argentina through the Andean mountains, the spine of South America, teams had to contend with sub zero temperatures, deep snow and ice in their Land Rover Freelanders. Teams met for fun and relaxation at three points along the way where they climbed active volcano Villarica, rafted the whitewater on the world famous Rio Futaleufu and kayaked amongst turquoise icebergs at Torres del Paine. After three weeks the teams arrived in Ushuaia, southernmost city in the world, on the island of Tierra del Fuego

Land Rover Years Land Rover Years combines a decade of great adventure, skillful 4WD action and stunning scenery. The Camel Trophy, the world's greatest amateur expedition, was the original testing ground for teamwork, sportsmanship and human endurance. Teams from around the world were invited to embark on remarkable and challenging 4x4 adventures, and asked to survive using their wits, bare knuckles and the capable power of the Land Rover.
