This is more than a race – it’s an experience not to be missed! T he first two days of the route head off from Nigel, steadily climbing through the mielie farms of Mpumalanga, then on day three you’ll drop to the German community of Luneberg before traversing the hilly Ithala Game Reserve. The next section enters Zululand, taking you 24 through rural thatch kraals and Nguni cattle herds, and then the last few days pass through the ﬂat Pongola ﬂoodplain, where you’ll sleep next to Lake Sibaya, surrounded by majestic fish eagles and hippos. You’ll also feast on local Thonga cuisine to rev up for those sandy jeep tracks on the way to the finish at Kosi Bay.
