Goal

The Nedbank Tour de Tuli has been running for the past 12 years and is a renowned, premier mountain bike tour through some of Africa’s most pristine wilderness areas in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It is the main fundraiser for Children in the Wilderness (CITW), and all funds raised by the Tour are channeled directly into CITW. Over the last 12 years, the tour has hosted approximately 3 223 cyclists and raised R18 million. This has allowed us to host over 5 600 children on our camp programme since 2001 and over 11 000 children on our Eco-Club programme since 2012.

The Nedbank Tour de Tuli is renowned for its extremely high standards of service and the unique experience of riding through some of Africa’s most pristine, wildlife and geologically rich areas in Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The Tour follows very strict environmental practices and every camp site is left as it was originally found. Cyclists will experience amazing bush surroundings and have fun with great people for four days and five nights with the event taking place around July/August each year.

In order to participate in the event, each cyclist is required to make a minimum donation of R24 900. All funds that are raised from the event are channelled into Children in the Wilderness (CITW), for the initiatives and programs run for rural children in southern African communities.

CITW an environmental education and life skills programme for rural children living in and around conservation areas, has been operating since 2001. It is a non-profit organisation supported by an ecotourism company, Wilderness Safaris, to facilitate sustainable conservation through leadership development and education of rural children in Africa.
