Land Rovers Go Overlanding In Lake Tekapo

We love nothing more than seeing Land Rovers out and about enjoying all the beauty New Zealand has to offer!

Recently David Igoe and his Land Rover Discovery 3 went exploring and shared a few stunning photos of Land Rovers in their element, overlanding in the Lake Tekapo and Mackenzie district. According to the NZ4WD Magazine overlanding can be described “self-reliant adventure travel to remote destinations where the journey is the primary goal.” The adventurous spirit that has defined the Discovery family for over 30 years makes no adventure out of reach, and we can’t think of better vehicles to enjoy the journey in.
