The rally, created and organised by Taylors Africa Safaris, combines a Top Gear-style, Mongol-style and East African Safari Rally to create this adventurous event, creating an opportunity for teams to bond over a challenge.

The older the car, the better. Four-wheel-drive cars have to be older than the year 1990 and any two-wheel-drive car is permitted as long as it is at least 12 years old. The rally is not a race, but it isn’t a walk in the park either. All participants need to do is get their car over the finish line at the end of the route.
Teams will fire up their engines in Bulawayo, and make their way to Hwange Main Camp for night one. The next few days will be spent navigating through the thick bush, down dusty and rugged roads to ultimately reach Victoria Falls, which is the final destination of the rally.
The best part? Contenders are allowed to theme and customise their vehicles however they want, which creates a whole lot of banter and fun between the teams and spectators.
