THE DVD OF 'CROSSING AFRICA'

What is the movie about ......

well, in case you missed it, Marica and I drove in 12 months from the Netherlands to Cape Town via the West Coast and back again via the East Coast. Our movie will show you a continent full of friendly and hospitable people, spectacular wild life, stunning scenery, colourful tribes and much more. The early start of the rainy season on the West Coast confronted us with some extra challenges but after almost 60.000 km and 30 countries we returned home with a car full of great experiences! It will show you that Africa is a great continent.         

Who should see this movie;

  • any overlander who did not film his own trip
  • anyone who is considering a similar trip and is still in doubt
  • anyone who is in doubt whether to choose "west" or "east". The movie will show you both.
  • anyone who wants to see a positive picture of Africa for a change
  • anyone who loves a good road movie with great music.

I am not a professional filmer or editor but the movie just turned out to be pretty good by "accident" and I hope that it will inspire people to shift to the next gear and actually start planning their own trip! And don't be surprised if you will, you won't be the first...

The original movie has been filmed with a semi professional 3CCD camera. The total length of the movie is 95 minutes and shows the entire trip from the Netherlands to Cape Town and back. The movie is fully narrated and subtitled in English. The followed route can be found in log no 04-Route of this website.

Welkom op de EXPLORE AFRICA site van Marica & Noel

Op deze website vind je de reisverslagen van onze dubbele Trans Afrika reis die wij van oktober 2005 tot en oktober 2006 hebben gemaakt met onze Toyota Landcruiser. Wij hebben bijna 60.000 km gereden door 30 landen en hebben ongelooflijk veel gezien en meegemaakt. En ondanks de reputatie van Afrika als broeinest en gevaarlijk continent hebben wij deze ervaring dus niet. Daarentegen zijn wij talloze enorm aardige en gastvrije mensen tegengekomen. Ook qua corruptie hebben wij eigenlijk weinig problemen gehad. Hoewel we vaak hebben gezien dat de lokale bevolking werd lastig gevallen door de politie hadden wij daar als (blanke) toeristen zeer weinig last van.

Aan de andere kant lijkt er in Afrika meer respect te zijn tussen mensen onderling en met name tussen mensen van verschillende religies. Diverse geloven leven losjes en ontspannen naast en met elkaar.

Afrika heeft ons in veel opzichten zeer verrast, in positieve zin.  Lees over onze ervaringen en klik op een land of onderwerp dat je interesse heeft!

"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints."


Robert Louis Stevenson
