Tour de Tuli attracts 450 cyclists :: Mmegi Online

About 450 cyclists from different countries graced this year's Tour de Tuli. The route traverses three countries, Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa and three National Parks - the Northern Tuli Game Reserve in Botswana, the Tuli Safari Area in Zimbabwe and the Mapungubwe National Park in South Africa.

The objectives of the mountain bike event are to raise funds for Children in the Wilderness programme and to ensure its sustainability. The event creates awareness of the beautiful areas through which the cyclists travel, the people and the wildlife. Due to the increase in participation, the organisers decided to have two start-offs. The first departure was on August 3 and the second, the following day. The minimum entrance fee is R12,900 per cyclist.

The organisers said that in the past, many cyclists have raised additional funds. It is said that some raised as much as P200, 000 each.
