Overview

Are you adventurous, active, compassionate, and concerned about the challenges facing the world’s most magnificent, intelligent and emotionally complex animals?

Do you long for a real adventure, far off–the–beaten track in one of the world’s most spectacular wilderness areas?

Would you go the extra mile to support a cause you believe in?
If your answer to all three questions is yes, then you are qualified to be one of the 14 participants on our 100 Miles for Elephants fundraising trek.

This 9–day trek will be an extraordinary expedition in support of a critical cause: fighting the elephant poaching crisis in Kenya. Every day, approximately 100 African elephants are being killed for their ivory – if the slaughter continues at this rate they will be close to extinction in 10 years. Kenya’s Laikipia ecosystem hosts one of East Africa’s largest free-ranging elephant populations and these majestic animals are increasingly the targets of poachers. But there is hope – local communities are desperately trying to protect the elephants, and we can help them! Funds raised on the 100 Miles for Elephants trek will provide wages, equipment and training for vitally needed scout teams in Laikipia. This once–in–a–lifetime adventure is a unique opportunity to connect with local people who share your love of elephants, and to do something extraordinary and meaningful in this diverse, vibrant and captivating part of the world.
