The team
Some journeys need a guide. Trans Afrique needs a team.
Six disciplines, assembled per crossing. The route decides who travels.
Not every journey needs every specialist. The route determines the team — and the team is assembled per crossing, not kept on a bus.
02
Mobility
The vehicles, the roads, the borders and what to do when one of them closes.
- Professional drivers
- Vehicle technician
03
Security
Assessed per route and per season, and arranged locally and lawfully or not at all.
- Security professionals where appropriate
04
Cultural
People who can tell you what you are looking at, in the language it is spoken in.
- Local cultural specialists
- Historian or archaeologist
- Translator or language specialist
05
Wildlife and nature
Trackers and naturalists for the stretches where that is the point.
- Wildlife and safari specialists
- Nature and environmental specialists
06
Journey operations
The person whose whole job is that the month works, and the ones who record it.
- Journey director
- Photographer or filmmaker
- Chef or culinary specialist on selected expeditions
Six disciplines take time to assemble, which is the argument for choosing your dates a long way out — start planning your journey.
