Find Out Who the Winners Are!
Africa’s Most Famous Charity Road Trip is once again complete!
That’s correct, this July saw teams from across the world meet in Hartbeespoort, South Africa to undertake a 4,500km charity road trip either one way up to Kenya, or looped up to Malawi, then back through Mozambique to eSwatini. Sub-Saharan Africa was scattered with vehicles as old as 1960 and as young as 2018, all participating in The Africa Rally 2024.
Teams raised over R170k for a variety of fantastic causes both in South Africa and throughout the continent.
The Winners of the Challenger Route were Team Amazon Across Africa in a 1964 Volvo Amazon (pictured), raising funds for With Change in Mind, a school project in Malawi, and Farm Africa, a charity established to assist farmers across the continent with sustainably improving their yields.
The Winners of the Discovery Route were Team Wazee Mambo in a Toyota Hilux (pictured), raising funds for WaterAid, a charity ensuring access to clean water globally.
An honourable mention is made to Team Car Scene in their BMW X5, now infamous throughout Africa for being signed by everyone they met and for picking up The Golden Pineapple Award. This is bestowed to the team that experienced the most breakdowns and the biggest hardships but successfully managed to get their vehicle across the finish line. With assistance from Liqui Moly South Africa, they are also the team that has single-handedly raised the most for their charities – both South Africa-based – Child Welfare Tshwane and Sparrow Schools Educational Trust.
