Wagora Bike Ride
Ride in solidarity and support of the anti-poaching scouts who fearlessly protect wildlife in this land of The Great Migration.
Ride in solidarity and support of the Grumeti Fund’s anti-poaching scouts, who fearlessly protect the wildlife of the western Serengeti.
Dates: 29 October – 03 November 2026
This five-day journey includes a 150-kilometre cycle across the Singita’s Grumeti concession over three days. Riding the same terrain these scouts patrol daily, participants will also spend time engaging with the Grumeti Fund’s teams to learn firsthand about their conservation and community initiatives, before ending each night at Sabora.
The event stands as a powerful tribute to brave individuals who protect Africa’s wildlife. It’s a ride that asks participants to feel, in some small way, what it means to move through this landscape with purpose and resolve.
It specifically honours the memory of Kitaboka Wagora, a scout who made the ultimate sacrifice for conservation when he was tragically killed by a poacher in 2008. His memory continues to inspire others to follow a path of bravery and commitment to protecting Africa’s wild places for future generations.

Conservation Partner
Grumeti Fund
As the custodian of more than 350,000 acres of the world-renowned Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania, Singita’s partnership with Grumeti Fund has had a profound impact on the Serengeti ecosystem. The non-profit Grumeti Fund carries out wildlife conservation and community development programs in and around the Singita Grumeti Reserve.
Faced with challenges including uncontrolled illegal hunting, rampant wildfires and spreading strands of invasive alien vegetation when they took over the management of the area in 2003, the Fund dedicated itself to transform severely depleted wildlife numbers into thriving populations once more. Restoring this once barren and highly degraded region to a flourishing wilderness, their successes include the remarkable recovery of many species – including buffalo, wildebeest and elephant populations, and in 2019, the Fund carried out the largest single relocation and reintroduction of 9 critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino.
The non-profit Fund is fiscally independent in its conservation and community project operations. Funds are derived in the form of donations from Singita guests, NGOs and philanthropists seeking to make a lasting contribution to the sustainability of conservation work in Africa.
