We are lucky enough to having visited Morocco twice in 2017. We went on an epic road trip in January from Marrakech to Ouarzazate and further on to the sand dunes of Merzouga. Quad biking through the dunes was one of the most memorable and fun things we’ve ever done. Driving through several gorges, such as Gorge du Dades and across the High Atlas Mountains round off this adventure. And in November we were here again during our adventure road trip from Vienna to Nouakchott in Mauritania.

Africa in the 70s
Since I have been travelling from the early 70’s, when all those modern gadgets were not yet invented, travelling overland through remote and unexplored regions of the black continent was a privilege for only a hand full of people. Today a lot of regions that I explored by 4×4 truck with the simple method of a compass and map, are no longer accessible, at least not without an unease feeling. Back then, with Nisa in tow, the little white girl opened doors to the grimmest police officer just with her smile.
Burkina Faso 2012
Burkina Faso is one of these countries, of which most people have never heard of. “Burkina Faso” is thus meant to be understood as “Land of upright people” – and it definitely hold up to this saying. Though a land-locked country, it has much more to offer than one would ever expect.
Ghana 2010
Ghana is home to a number of diverse people and cultures, coexisting in a rapidly modernising country. It’s a land of proud people and a destination full of history and relaxation. The country is frequently labelled as ‘Africa for Beginners’, yet getting around is by no means easy. Still, you’ll be able to choose between tropical jungles, the Sahel zone in the North, white sandy beaches in the South or bustling city life when travelling to this destination on the Black Continent.
