Jasper, Josh, Ivo and Robbie are four conservation-minded adventurers living in Kenya, who have decided to embark on the journey of a lifetime – that might also take a lifetime.
Deciding to use the last of their savings to purchase Tuk-Tuks, the four are making the world laugh, smile and follow along in anticipation as they trot from the equator (Nanyuki, Kenya) to the Southern-most tip of Africa (Cape Town!)
The route
The lads will travel through Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa. They’ll be trekking through jungles, mountains, and of course an entire desert (the Kalahari).
As they note, the journey is “likely to be an odyssey of breakdowns, punctures, and toppled Tuk-Tuks as they coax the three-legged beasts through the journey.”
But why?
While the route may not be for the faint of heart, its intention is definitely for the tender-hearted.
Having spent time making videos in some of Kenya’s brilliant wild spaces, they realised that the people protecting these spaces were struggling, namely the rangers. Their goal is to help the people impacted by the bashed tourism industry.
They’re hoping to raise some funds by means of their hilarious content and ridiculous machines, and we’ve got to say, that combination alongside the intention is admirable.
Along the way, they plan on visiting as many conservancies, parks and reserves as possible, collecting stories and footage as they go along.
