Experience the UK’s most celebrated Land Rover adventure. Waffle is a meticulously restored Defender 90, designed for couples seeking a rugged, off-grid escape without compromising on comfort.
As a professional, multi-award-winning operator (inc. TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice 2023, 2024), we provide a truly all-inclusive experience.
Unlike other rentals, our price includes every piece of premium equipment you need for a safari-style adventure—no hidden "gear packs" or equipment fees at checkout.
The "Guided Freedom" Philosophy
We are Max and Bela, ex-surf instructors who spent years living out of our own Defender. We built LandyCampers to share that sense of flow and discovery. Waffle is our engineering-led solution for the perfect "Slow Travel" journey.
