We drove the west route ourselves: 23,000 kilometres, 21 countries, 140 days, from Hamburg to Cape Town. Along the way we learned the things that are in no forum: how borders really work, which visa applications cost you nerves, and where you can park up well at night. That is the knowledge you get, cut to fit your trip.
Would you rather drive in convoy with us? Then the expedition is your route.
For one specific question: a visa, a border, a decision. You ask, we answer.
For the route and vehicle check: we go through your planning together and show you where it does not hold.
For planning the whole trip: route, vehicle, papers, budget, timing. We work through all of it together.
You are on the road, we are your back office: visa applications, borders, route information, recommendations for camp spots. By WhatsApp, as a message or a call. An answer within 24 hours, usually much sooner. Every package includes a 60 minute preparation call before you leave.
For sections of the route, or a trip at pace.
The whole west route at a realistic pace.
With time for detours, breaks and changes of plan.
Limited places: we accompany only a few trips at a time.
You choose your package, payment runs securely through our payment provider, the invoice comes automatically.
We get back to you within 24 hours by email or WhatsApp and arrange a time.
A video call to prepare, and with the back office: from the day you leave you can reach us directly, whenever something comes up on the road.
One specific question: 30 minutes. Your planning is done and you want it checked: 60 minutes. You are just starting out: 90 minutes. And if you do not want to be on your own out there: the back office.
Then you simply book again. If we see that your subject is bigger than your package, we tell you during the call, not afterwards.
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours beforehand. Just write to us by WhatsApp or email.
With your departure. The preparation beforehand is covered by the included video call. That way you get both at the right moment.
No. We are your organisation in the background: knowledge, contacts, judgement. Not a 24/7 emergency or breakdown service. You get an answer within 24 hours, usually much sooner.
Our focus is the west route from Europe to Cape Town. For other routes and regions, ask us briefly by WhatsApp first whether we can really help you. If we cannot, we will say so.
Write and tell us what you are planning. We will tell you honestly what you need and what you do not.
