iSimangaliso MTB 4 Day 2014

The second iSimangaliso MTB 4 Day powered by Nashua proved a resounding success, with the 280 mountain bike riders emerging a little muddier and wide eyed from the event having taken part in an unforgettable experience. The ride, which took place from 21 to 24 August, has raised just over a quarter of a million rand towards one of iSimangaliso’s conservation goals this year – the re-introduction of eland into the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Eland are the last of the historically occurring species to be re-introduced into this World Heritage Site. The funds were raised via a compulsory conservation donation built into the events entrance fee for iSimangaliso’s Rare and Endangered Species Fund. This fund assists in monitoring, protecting and reintroducing animals into the Park. To date it has supported rhino, oribi, and cheetah and lion re-introductions. Among the myriad of features of the event were the many animal sightings, plant and bird species that peppered each day’s ride – with the sighting of breaching whales on the final day an undisputed highlight.
