As such a trip calls for a sizeable number of people, you will be joining an international group. This is an overland adventure tour with a fair bit of long overland travelling involved and participation in food preparation. You don't need good fitness for this trip but an open mind is a must. Be prepared for the unexpected - vehicle breakdowns are not unheard of. Such is the great pleasure of an overlanding adventure!
