6060 Challenge 2025: David visits Chizarira National Park.
The inaugural 6060 Challenge Cycle for Wildlife Challenge took place on the 8th of December 2024. The Challenge saw David and 5 other community volunteers cycling from the resort city of Victoria Falls to Lubangwe Sanctuary in a group cycle that took them 3 hours.
In the spirit of the Challenge, the team took time to raise awareness of the dangers of deforestation in the communities they passed through, these included Mbizha, Matetsi and Lubangwe.
I remain forever grateful to the various sponsors who have inspired me to take on this new challenge in 2025. Special thank you to Brent Williamson, Clive Bradford and Wild Horizons family, not forgetting Jos Danclwerts and Wild is Life
