Tunisia in December: it rains in the north, the sun shines in the south, and at night the Sahara drops to just 2 to 8 °C. Joe Küster, founder of OVERCROSS, explains the weather and presents two tours that take you from Genoa into the desert over New Year's Eve.

Kenya or Tanzania? If you are short on time and want to see the Big Five quickly, choose Kenya with the Masai Mara. If you want more open space, the Ngorongoro Crater and then a beach on Zanzibar, choose Tanzania. If you can't decide, drive both countries on one overland trip.

A safari with kids works best in South Africa: malaria-free reserves, well-built roads and lodges that know families. The country matters less than your children's age, because many parks and lodges set a minimum age for open game drive vehicles. Ask before you book instead of relying on rules of thumb.

The best time to visit Kruger National Park is the dry season from May to September: the grass is low, the animals come to the waterholes, and the days are clear and mild. If you are looking for young animals and fresh greenery, go from late October, but accept rain, heat and poorer visibility.

New Year's Eve on an enduro instead of on the sofa: two tours take you into the Sahara over the turn of the year, to Tunisia from Genoa or to Morocco from Málaga. What to expect, how to get there and which tour suits you.

New Year's Eve in the Sahara means no fireworks and no countdown, but a wild camp among the dunes of southern Tunisia and a starry sky without city lights. How the 4x4 tour over the turn of the year works, what your off-road vehicle needs and why you should book the ferry now.

"After more than 500,000 kilometers through bush, jungle, and deserts of the world - from motorcycle tours across Africa to 4x4 expeditions in Central Asia - I count myself lucky to be a millionaire of experiences."
Joe Küster
Founder & Tour Leader at Overcross - Your Specialist for Motorcycle & Offroad 4x4 Tours
What began with a simple website and a handful of brave travelers quickly became a passion: the first guided motorcycle tours through the Alps, the first offroad expeditions across rugged terrain. Joe Küster led every trip personally, planned every route by hand, and proved from day one that real adventure never compromises.
Overcross is officially founded as a tour operator with one clear mission: guided motorcycle tours, offroad 4x4 expeditions, and individual adventure travel at the highest level. Small groups, maximum freedom, zero mass tourism. From the very beginning, the opposite of an ordinary package holiday.
The portfolio grows: North Africa opens its sand dunes to Overcross motorcycle tours through Morocco and the Sahara, while South America invites 4x4 offroad expeditions through Patagonia and the Andes. Every new destination is scouted by the team themselves - lived experience, not a travel catalogue.
Over coffee, someone says the sentence that will change everything: "We ride across all of Africa." The idea for the Trans-Africa Expedition is born - a motorcycle and offroad adventure spanning thousands of kilometres through deserts, rainforests, and highlands. A vision that will define Overcross forever.
Overcross sets new standards: working with local partners on the ground creates authentic travel experiences that go far beyond sightseeing. Local guides, family-run lodges, regional cuisine - motorcycle tours and 4x4 adventures that truly connect riders with the land and its people, while promoting responsible tourism.
Overcross reimagines adventure travel: specialized women-only motorcycle tours for independent riders, photography expeditions into breathtaking landscapes, and culinary offroad adventures that combine great food with great riding. Themed tours that prove motorcycle and 4x4 travel is as individual as the people doing it.
The numbers speak for themselves: more than 3,000 travelers trust Overcross with their adventure every year. Hundreds of five-star reviews, return rates well above industry average, and word-of-mouth recommendations spreading across the global motorcycle and offroad community. Overcross is no longer just a tour operator - it's a movement.
With the Overcross Academy, an entirely new dimension is born: those who want to lead motorcycle and offroad tours themselves receive professional training to become certified tour guides. Technical off-road workshops, navigation training, wilderness first aid - Overcross passes on its expertise and shapes the next generation of adventurers.
