Transafrica 4x4 Expedition Go EAST
Off-road vehicle safari / EXPEDITION across Africa: 30 million km², 53 states, 1000 ethnicities an adventure, welcome to Africa, welcome to the 4X4 Trans-Africa EXPEDITION. Heinrich Barth, an early African explorer, traveled the continent often with only a rough idea of the route ("a journey often develops during the journey"). This is the philosophy and content of the Trans-Africa expedition which we have been planning and conducting anew every year since 2014. There is a starting and an endpoint of the expedition journey, in between lies the "unpredictable" adventure of Africa, which describes the spirit of this expedition. One of the last off-road adventures is the EXPEDITION through: South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Rhodesia, Zambia, Mali, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. Since 2019, the "premium traveler" can also book the privately guided safari from Egypt across Africa to Cape Town with our expedition vehicle or with their own off-road vehicle via OVERCROSS ZA. Our zebra fleet (Land Rover Defender and Discovery) is available exclusively with a guide for the off-road vehicle safari upon request.
Philosophy and itinerary of the Transafrica Expedition
There are many reasons to travel: escaping everyday life, the search or also the addiction to ever new adventures. Whatever it is, it remains a fascinating experience and adventure across the African continent, which will accompany you throughout your life and will certainly also change you in some way. Out of Africa has captivated researchers, adventure travelers, or rally junkies, I sat completely hypnotized as a teenager in front of the racing impressions of the Paris Dakar Rally, with the wish in the back of my mind: I want to experience AFRICA, once Paris Dakar or better yet, once across the entire continent! How difficult this continent is, everyone who has traveled to Africa multiple times and knows the addiction "Adventure Africa" as "elixir of life" knows. After three years of planning and four subsequent expeditions, we have managed to get a grip on these difficulties and know that this is a tangible, exclusive adventure that will remain in the memory of EVERY participant under guarantee. My name is Joe Küster, founder of OVERCROSS with well over 100,000 "African kilometers" as an expedition guide. In 2014, the idea was born over a cup of coffee and the question of the last adventure of life, in the offices of Schaaf Federtechnik in Möglingen, shortly after we started the first Trans Africa Expedition with a handful of participants. After a few thousand kilometers, the first expedition failed miserably. Two years later, we launched the second Trans Africa expedition with a total of three years of preparation (and one more "burnout syndrome" ;-) again. This time the expedition was planned "military-style"! Motorcycle tour guide, support guide in the Land Rover Defender 130cc as well as an online tour guide were specifically assigned, briefed, and trained for the expedition. Secured with satellite phone / emergency phone / satellite monitoring with "direct line" on site, it began with this mega expedition across the African continent, which was and remains an indescribable experience for the participants. After over 20 years of Africa experience, you may believe me that this expedition (besides my children and the great love by my side) is THE adventure that means the "world" to me. Ten years after the first TRANS AFRICA EXPEDITION, I know that for me as a guide and organizer, this expedition was the most demanding and the "most liberating" experience I have ever had! → Here you can get an impression of the OVERCROSS team.
