Maik Schneider
Knows Africa's tracks, border posts and rainy seasons – and which route actually works.
About Maik Schneider
Africa isn't a destination you plan on the side – it wants to be understood. Maik knows the tracks, the border posts and the rainy seasons, and he knows which route looks good in the brochure and which one actually works.
From the dunes of Morocco and Mauritania to the far south, he puts together the Overcross tours of the continent. He takes care of the invisible things: permits, reliable local partners, fuel and water in places where both are scarce.
For Maik, riding sand isn't an obstacle but the best part of the day. That enthusiasm is in every Africa trip that carries his name.

What guests say about Maik Schneider
-
Maik liest die Wüste wie andere eine Landkarte. Als der Sand tief wurde, war er längst abgestiegen und hat es uns gezeigt, statt nur Anweisungen zu rufen. So macht Sandfahren süchtig – und man kommt trotzdem heil an.
-
Perfekt organisiert bis ins letzte Detail – und trotzdem nie steif. Maik kennt die Menschen vor Ort persönlich, das öffnet Türen, die Touristen sonst verschlossen bleiben. Eine Reise, die viel mehr war als Motorradfahren.
-
Maik connaît chaque piste et chaque poste-frontière. On se sent en sécurité sans jamais se sentir tenu par la main. Une organisation sans faille du début à la fin, et un vrai passionné du désert. Merci pour ce voyage inoubliable.
Why we at Overcross trust Maik Schneider
Africa doesn't forgive poor planning. That's why the whole continent sits with Maik: he has traveled the regions himself, knows the people on the ground personally, and plans every stage with a safety net you only notice when you need it.
