The SIYAFUNDA
SLOG

"Maybe it's animalness that will make the world right again:
the wisdom of elephants, the enthusiasm of canines, the grace
of snakes, the mildness of anteaters. Perhaps being human
needs some diluting." ― Carol Emshwiller

Welcome to the SIYAFUNDA SLOG 

20 & 21 June 2025


A unique and unforgettable two-day walking challenge through the breathtaking Makalali Game Reserve in Limpopo, South Africa.

Hosted by Siyafunda, the Siyafunda Slog takes place on 20 to 21 June 2025, offering an incredible opportunity to push your physical limits while directly supporting wildlife conservation.

​

The Challenge

Embark on a 100 km hike along the Makalali Game Reserve’s fenceline—50 km each day—testing your endurance, resilience, and commitment to conservation. An overnight rest camp, set in a scenic riverbed within the reserve, offers a welcome break to relax, refuel, and recharge under the stars.

​

Make a Real Impact

More than just a physical challenge, the Siyafunda Slog is a fundraising journey. Participants are encouraged to raise donations by reaching out to their networks, shining a light on the daily challenges faced by field rangers and anti-poaching units who work tirelessly to protect South Africa’s wildlife.

​

Limited Spaces – Apply Now!

The event is open to all nationalities, but spaces are limited to just 30 participants. Apply through our website to secure your spot—applicants will be selected based on their responses in the application form.
