Michael Obert (born 1966) is a German book author and journalist. He writes for GEO, ZEITmagazin, Stern, Die Zeit[1], Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and many other periodicals in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, as well for Courrier International (Paris), The Journal (New York), The Caravan (Delhi) and Himal Southasian (Katmandu). He reports mainly from Africa, Latin America, and Central Asia.
In his travelogue "Regenzauber" (On the River of Gods), published by National Geographic Editions, he describes traveling for seven months on Africa’s third longest river, the Niger, from the source in the rainforest of Guinea, 2,600 miles through the Sahel and Southern Sahara, into the mouth of the Niger at the Bay of Benin.
In "Die Ränder der Welt" (The Edges of the World), a selection of Obert’s finest literary travel writing, he explores 25 lost spots that haven’t been focused by travelers so far, including war zones like Afghanistan, Sudan, Nigeria, but also forgotten paradises such as the Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea, or Bhutan.
Obert currently lives in Berlin.
