This trip is a special fundraising event. Unlike other Tuuur trips, there is just one exclusive departure date.

verified
To complete this trip, it’s important that you’re both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
verified
You’ll be cycling for up to 35 km a day on varied terrain, so you’ll need an adequate level of fitness.
verified
Riding is done along both sealed and unsealed roads, but there are no special technical skills needed. Some practice at home is a great idea, however, especially for downhill sections.
verified
You’ll be travelling with the group in a purpose-built overland vehicle. While these trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have drop-down windows, which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
