This is the personal site of Dennis Obel — founder, photographer and explorer. By using it, you agree to the terms below. They are written to be read, not to trap you.
01Who runs this site
dennisobel.com is operated by 3Men Pty Ltd, an Australian-registered company (ABN 83 678 873 839), together with Digital Assets Africa Ltd, incorporated in Nairobi, Kenya (est. April 2019). Questions about these terms go to hello@afrofeast.travel.
02What this site is — and isn't
This site is a personal portfolio and journal. The writing here reflects Dennis Obel's own views at the time of publishing. Nothing on this site is legal, immigration, financial, investment or professional advice. The ventures described — including VisaNationals, Amen.Travel, OurRoots, Endesha, Hyloti and Midnight Alchemist — each operate under their own terms on their own sites. For anything binding, rely on those, not on this overview.
03Intellectual property
All content on this site — text, layout, design, and especially the photography — is owned by Dennis Obel and 3Men Pty Ltd, or used with permission. The portraits and fieldwork images are deliberately treated and protected; you may not copy, reproduce, scrape, or reuse them without written permission. Third-party city photographs in the Atlas are used under open licences and credited on the image credits page.
04Trademarks
AFROFEAST® is a registered trade mark of Dennis Obel, registered in the Republic of South Africa under the Trade Marks Act, 1993, by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC), Registrar of Trade Marks, with effect from 12 April 2023:
- Reg. No. 2023/09633 — Class 41: entertainment and cultural services, including music festivals, concerts and musical events, the organisation and conducting of dance and music festivals, galas, beauty contests, and sporting and social events.
- Reg. No. 2023/09634 — Class 39: travel services, including the organising and conducting of tours, sightseeing tours and excursions.
- Reg. No. 2023/09635 — Class 43: hospitality services, including the provision of food and drink, catering, restaurant and takeaway services, and temporary accommodation.
Registration of the mark gives no right to the exclusive use of the words "AFRO" or "FEAST" separately, apart from the mark.
VisaNationals, Amen.Travel, OurRoots, Endesha, Hyloti and Midnight Alchemist are trading names and brands of Dennis Obel's own ventures, operated through 3Men Pty Ltd (Australia) and Digital Assets Africa Ltd (Kenya). Other than AFROFEAST®, these are unregistered (common-law) marks. They remain the property of Dennis Obel and his companies, and nothing on this site grants you a licence to use any of them.
05Links to other sites
This site links to the venture sites and other third parties. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content, products, or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion.
06Venture status
The portfolio shown here changes as the work does. A venture marked In Build is not yet open to the public; availability, features and pricing can change without notice. A venture marked Live is operating, but always governed by its own terms.
07No warranties
This site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. We work to keep it accurate and available, but we don't guarantee it will be error-free or uninterrupted.
08Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, 3Men Pty Ltd, Digital Assets Africa Ltd and Dennis Obel are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
09Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of Australia, save where local consumer law gives you rights in your own jurisdiction.
10Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the site means you accept the latest terms.
