Strong Stories

From Hessia to the Cape of Good Hope.

Danja and Thorsten Kühn crossed the African continent from north to south in their G-Class. With a total of 33 conversions, they turned their off-roader into their mobile home, which they traveled in for an entire year.

How a honeymoon became a honey-year.

The freshly married couple made their way to Africa via the Alps, the Balkans and the Middle East. An adventure tour and an extended honeymoon. Breathtaking scenery, fascinating cultures and a host of challenging driving situations awaited them. On the road with them was their G-Class, lovingly christened the 'Desert Cube'. It was to be their means of transport, home and refuge in one over the coming months. 'At times the roads in Mombasa were a greater obstacle than the off-road tracks in the savannah,' Thorsten Kühn remembers with a smile.

Return journey to a dream.

'Those who are in a position to fulfil a life's dream should not hesitate,' says Thorsten Kühn. 'And plan it well,' adds Danja. And if things go right, the resulting memories are truly impressive.
