Join me on a journey across Africa, where I navigated rugged dirt roads, overcame unexpected obstacles, and explored remote savannahs. From breathtaking wildlife encounters to the vibrant cultures of local communities, ‘Overlanding Africa’ is a story of adventure, resilience, and connection. I’ll share the challenges and joys of off-the-beaten-path travel across this diverse continent. Whether you dream of exploring Africa or simply want a taste of its wild beauty, this talk will inspire your next adventure. Expect stories from the road, stunning landscapes, and a look at how overlanding can transform the way you see the world.

Meet Wani Baumgartner, a Malaysian-Swiss traveler and mother of three. Inspired by a chance encounter with a Japanese traveler, she set a goal: to visit 100 countries by 30. Embarking on a six-month journey after her studies, she met her Swiss ex-husband in Buenos Aires along the way. Achieving her goal at 28, Wani has since explored 153 countries, often balancing work and motherhood while traveling remotely. Now, she continues her global adventures, at times with her three boys in tow.
