Inspiration and tips for your next adventure
July 2013, day 11 of the tour: we reach Amboseli in the dust of the dried-out lakebed, and Kilimanjaro has been hiding behind a milky wall since Moshi. The next morning the wind stops, from one minute to the next. Then the mountain is suddenly just there, and elephants are walking beneath it.

The Grande Route des Alpes runs from Lake Geneva at Thonon-les-Bains to Menton on the Mediterranean, crossing the great French Alpine passes along the way. Ride it from north to south, plan several days and start in summer at the earliest, when Iseran, Galibier and Bonette are safely open.

For motorcyclists, the Atlas Mountains in Morocco mean paved switchbacks in the High Atlas, gravel tracks in the Middle Atlas and the sandy edge of the Sahara beyond. The best time to ride is in spring and autumn. A guided road tour suits beginners, while an enduro tour with a guide suits those with off-road experience.

The best time to visit Tunisia, in short: for the Sahara in the south, autumn to spring is ideal, especially November to March and Easter. The coast invites you to swim in summer, but it is too hot for off-road driving in the south. If you want to drive, plan between October and April.

The best time to visit the Okavango Delta is between May and September. By then the flood from Angola has filled the delta, mokoro trips run on full water and the animals gather along the channels. The green season in summer is quieter and rich in birdlife, but the tracks turn soft.

The best time to visit the Garden Route is February to April: late summer and early autumn bring plenty of sun, quieter roads and warm sea. The Garden Route gets rain all year round, so the Kruger rule, under which winter is the dry season, doesn't apply here. December and January are beautiful, but crowded.

"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.
