Ride the 'Land of the Giants' this May - Final Availability for the LOTG Cycling Event 2026
This year, from the 1st - 7th May 2026, riders and guests from around the world will gather in Mashatu Game Reserve for something truly extraordinary — the EPIC Land of the Giants Cycling Event.
For a few unforgettable days, riders traverse 120-180km of ancient elephant paths, open plains and winding riverbeds on mountain bikes, guided by expert rangers and surrounded by one of Africa’s most remarkable wilderness landscapes.
It’s not simply a cycling event. It’s a shared adventure in a place where elephants roam freely, wildlife corridors stretch beyond borders, and the rhythm of the wild shapes every ride.
With limited spaces now available, this is an opportunity to join the LOTG 2026 Cycling Event - whether with a group of friends, a partner, or as part of a team, the event creates lasting connections — between people, place, and purpose.
