These 4 Crazy Guys Are Travelling From Kenya to Cape Town in Tuk-Tuks!

Are they a real production company? No. Have they made a documentary before? No. Are they prepared to drive 2 Tuk-Tuks from the Equator to Cape Town?… Ummm, that would be a ‘No’ as well.

Kenya may have been removed from the UK’s red list – but Africa is bleeding without tourists. The impact of 18 months of lockdown has been devastating. Revenue from tourism is central to the conservation of some of the planet’s most important habitats and wildlife; without it, many of these are in trouble. Poaching, bushmeat, illegal logging and the exploitation of natural resources have all risen dramatically. Those charged with preventing this, wildlife rangers, have seen an increase in their workload, despite many having their funding and salaries slashed. Rangers need help.

With this in mind, Jasper, Josh, Ivo and Robbie, four conservation-minded adventurers living in Kenya, decided to embark on a daring and bone-rattling expedition to raise both awareness and money for rangers on the frontline – by driving from Kenya to Cape Town in Tuk Tuks!
