The guys who brought you Put Foot Rally are back, and this time they have something fairly similar to offer us. Only local! Essentially it’s an eight-day road trip exploring South Africa’s legendary heritage, with some really cool stops along the way. Lots of vibes, braais, parties, goodwill, charity, drinking. You know, that kind of thing! Introducing…
THE DUNLOP HAMBA!
Celebrate South African heritage, goodwill and adventure. Entries are now open for The Dunlop Hamba – a new South African road adventure! Dunlop, in association with Mountainshak Adventures, is the proud sponsor of South Africa’s inaugural heritage rally. The travel extravaganza will see intrepid adventures visiting a number of on- and off-road South African destinations, while giving back to the local communities along the way. A gripping combination of adventures and upliftment all rolled into one epic road trip that will build a lifetime of memories.
Entries open 6 August for The Dunlop Hamba, the eight day expedition, which departs from Johannesburg, 20 September and finishes in Cape Town, 27 September 2014 in celebration of South Africa’s history, culture, people and sport, all while embarking on a campaign of goodwill during heritage month.
Conceptualised by the Mountainshak Adventures Team, who created and run the Put Foot Rally, The Dunlop Hamba is a self-drive tour through five provinces with a number of unique South African experiences along the way from nature conservation outside Pietermaritzburg, visiting Nelson Mandela’s birthplace and riding ostriches in Outdtshoorn, to helping improve the lives of those less fortunate with shoe drops and a library donation. There’s an even a chance to run a rugby coaching clinic with some of the SA Rugby Legends in Queenstown!
There will be plenty of opportunity to let your hair down with organised social festivities along the way and a mega-braai blast on 24 September – National Heritage Day, where the adventurers will get to cook the boerie that they were taught to make earlier in the day.
The Dunlop Hamba has been timed to take place during South Africa’s heritage week so that only four days’ leave is required to enjoy this truly remarkable eight day adventure,” says Daryn Hillhouse, founder of MountainShak Adventures, who goes on to elaborate, “We believe that every South African benefits from sight-seeing in our own country, so we’ve planned an unforgettable route that embraces the uniquely South African ideal of community or ‘ubuntu,’ while leading us through our largest cities and oldest villages.”
Participation in this road-trip of a lifetime costs R8, 400 per vehicle for a team of four members. This entry includes: a Heritage Day braai, four checkpoint parties, four days’ worth of charity projects followed by a closing party hosted by South African Breweries as well as all the logistics and organisation that go into creating a truly memorable discovery of South Africa’s heritage. There is also the opportunity to win a seat for you and two friends in one of Dunlop’s lead vehicles. Oh and by the way, vehicales of all shapes and sizes are welcome! Plus you can take any route you like between check points, but just make sure your vehicle can handle the heat…
The Dunlop Hamba is a great experience for a group of friends or a corporate team. The activities en route, both cultural and social, as well as the various charity initiatives, are perfect occasions to see our beautiful country while giving back and empowering the local communities. Accommodation recommendations are available on The Dunlop Hamba website. For more information and to enter The Dunlop Hamba, visit: www.TheHamba.co.za – Entries close 6 September 2014.
