Tatra around the World 2 follows a Czech expedition that set off in February 2020 in a Tatra 815 truck nicknamed Trajda, paying tribute to the legendary Tatra round-the-world expedition of 1987–1990. Led by founder Marek Havlíček, it is an open expedition that members of the public can join for a few weeks at a time. The first series covers the journey through the Balkans, Turkey and Iran, reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic; the second crosses Africa from Djibouti to Cape Town.

The first series follows the expedition's start from the Mácha Region in February 2020 and its route across the Balkans to Istanbul. As the COVID-19 pandemic upends the plans, the crew spends almost three months in Turkey before moving on to Iran, where they face an arrest and, eventually, a hasty departure when the authorities refuse to extend their visas.
