The Inaugural Wagora MTB Ride, Serengeti, 2024
Entries open for the first Wagora MTB Ride - Raising funds for anti-poaching in the Serengeti
Singita and its NGO partner, the Grumeti Fund, have partnered to introduce a new iconic adventure taking place in the 350,000-acre Singita Grumeti reserve in Tanzania.
Twenty-four experienced riders from around the world will have the opportunity to take part in the first Wagora MTB Ride from 10-15 October 2024. This exclusive event is a life-changing opportunity for mountain bike enthusiasts to come together in the Serengeti to ride in support of the Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching scouts.
This event traverses 150 kilometres (over three days) through the reserve in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park. Endless views and exciting animal sightings are part of the journey, while game scouts and a support vehicle accompany riders for their safety and comfort. The route consists of flat, dirt, gravel, or sand roads (non-tarred) with some single-track off-road trails and is best suited to seasoned riders.
All funds raised will support the dedicated anti-poaching scouts and their dogs who work tirelessly to protect the wildlife here.
A fallen hero remembered
This event honours the legacy of Kitaboka Wagora, the revered anti-poaching scout who tragically lost his life when he was shot by a poacher while on patrol in 2008. Proceeds of the cost of your participation are will be donated to the Grumeti Fund’s Anti-Poaching Unit, in his memory.
