ZAMBIA EVENT: 2019 FUCHS ELEPHANT CHARGE

Prepare yourself for the 2019 edition of Zambia’s crazy off-road event, in which teams of up to six people traverse the wilds of Zambia’s bush through 10 checkpoints – not in the shortest time, but via the shortest distance.

The madness has been going every year since 2008, with the aim to raise funds for Zambian conservation projects. This year the goal is to smash the $1m mark ($892000 so far), supporting a variety of projects including the Wildlife and Environmental Conservation Society of Zambia, Birdwatch, Conservation Lower Zambezi, Conservation South Luangwa etc. (for more see www.elephantcharge.org/beneficiaries).
