A military vehicle transformed into a rugged 4-wheel drive motorhome. We named it “Karibuni Safari”, which means “Welcome to travel” in Swahili.<\/p>\n

Karibuni Safari<\/h1>\n

Our expedition Iveco VM90 took the baton from “Karibu”, the Land Rover we used in our 2007-2010 expedition. Originally a people carrier used by Italian Marine corps, was transformed into a rugged camper in 2011 from scratch. An Italian Unimog by all means which we bought in 2017 and developped into a perfect expedition vehicle.<\/p>\n

The first owners<\/h1>\n

In 2010, first owner Mrs. Michaela Pizzamano bought a VM90 from the Italian Marine corps to convert it into a rugged camper van. In July 2011, the vehicle was already converted in a brand new, 4×4 camper van with a comfortable cabin capable to host two people.<\/p>\n

Total transformation<\/h1>\n

The original chassis was stripped, rebuilt, sanded and repainted from scratch. Wheelbase was lengthened by 60 cm (from 2,80 to 3,40 m) to accommodate a longer cabin. A brand new Sofim 8140.43 turbodiesel engine was installed together with new transfer box, transmission shaft, diff gears, larger brakes and reinforced suspension.<\/p>\n

Second owner<\/h1>\n

Angelo Gorghetto bought the truck from Michaela without the cabin and designed and built his own at the same Italian manufacturer. The brand new cabin was 3,6 m. long with top-of-the range Dometic WC and kitchen, double glass windows, Webasto cabin and water heaters, new, noiseless fridge and two beds, a double at the back and a single at the front of the cabin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
