Note for the Trans Africa Expedition:
Important note regarding booking
Please note that this journey is an expedition. The description above is not a classic travel description, but a rough route overview based on experiences from past expeditions.
A booking is only possible after a personal conversation and confirmed participation.
The starting fee may only be transferred after reading the special expedition terms and conditions and after official participation confirmation.
No package travel offer
We explicitly point out that this 4x4 expedition is neither a package trip nor a classic off-road vehicle tour.
The specified price is to be understood solely as a starting price.
According to § 651 BGB, this is not a package travel offer.
Every participant is aware that there are travel warnings or partial travel warnings from the Federal Foreign Office for all countries to be crossed. These notes must be read before booking and are expressly accepted by participating in the expedition.
Flexible route and goal
The exact course of the expedition - including the kilometers to be covered and the countries to be traversed - will be individually adjusted to the actual conditions during the journey.
Although South Africa is the planned destination, there is no guarantee that it will be reached.
The organizer expressly reserves the right to change or shorten the course of the expedition in case of unforeseen events such as force majeure, political developments, or time constraints.
Adventure instead of fixed route
The starting point is Southern Europe, the planned destination is South Africa - everything in between is part of the adventure.
The entire travel course will be continuously adjusted to the local conditions.
Since 2016, we have been conducting Trans Africa expeditions. In the sense of German travel law, we explicitly point out:
This journey is about the intention to reach a specific goal - not about a guarantee.
Transparency through preliminary meetings
All participants will receive the actual planned route and all relevant information and insights we have gathered over the last ten years of expedition experience at the preliminary meeting of the Trans Africa expedition.
Community and responsibility
One for all, all for one" - this is the motto of this extraordinary adventure trip through Africa.
Team spirit, flexibility, and personal responsibility are essential prerequisites for participating in this expedition.
For a personal conversation, you are also welcome to visit us at the office in the old town of Tübingen
because HERE is the adventure ;-)
Travel law and German bureaucracy:
Due to German "legal bureaucratic" regulations and requirements, we hereby explicitly point out that traveling is dangerous and this event leads through crisis areas and dangerous continents such as Africa and Europe!
This "event" is an expedition and not a package trip within the meaning of § 651a BGB!
For this reason, the starting fee includes only organizational services, such as expedition planning, route options, provision of a guide, as well as communication and emergency equipment.
No overnight accommodations or transport services, catering services, or any other travel law relevant individual services are provided by OVERCROSS as part of a total package!
All logistical services such as overnight stays, transport, catering, vehicle provision, flights, hotel or lodge bookings, etc. are not part of the expedition and will be provided by external providers or borne by the participants themselves.
Thus, there is no package of at least two main travel services which would lead to a package trip (§651a BGB).
The expedition therefore is not subject to package travel law.
Changes to the route, travel progress, overnight locations, and day schedules are an integral part of the expedition character and do not constitute a defect.
