Wildlife Ranger Challenge All Stars
In a world-first, the event witnessed an elite team of four wildlife rangers come together from across three African countries to complete the Challenge, in a show of pan-African camaraderie and teamwork.
The team completed the gruelling half marathon Challenge whilst carrying 22kg (10kg for women’s teams) – a weight equivalent to an average fully packed check-in suitcase.
The team, comprised of some of the strongest athletes from previous years’ challenges took on the race in Kasane, Botswana as part of this year’s African Ranger Congress. Clifford Sakala from Conservation South Luangwa in Zambia, George Kamasiai from Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, Jackson Lopeyok from Lion Landscapes Loisaba in Kenya and Tendee Masangusi from African People and Wildlife Tanzania competed as a team to try and set the Fastest Known Time title. Conditions were harsh and the team showed a phenomenal level of camaraderie and resilience over the 21km. The Fastest Known Time title, however remains for the taking next year.
