Helping to create tomorrow’s female conservation leaders
In October 2018, the Singita Grumeti Fund and BRAVE will host an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime, all-women run across the Serengeti wilderness to raise funds for girl and women empowerment programmes.
We are inviting runners of all levels to join this first-ever all-women run across the vast Serengeti plains. Whether on foot or supporting from the shadow vehicle, become part of the three-day journey of women united for a common cause. Choose between running 30km or 90km over the three-day event.
This unique event forms part of Singita’s brand-new collection of conservation safaris called Safaris with a Purpose. Helping to create the next generation of female leaders in conservation is the specific focus of the fundraising being done through the multi-stage race at Singita Grumeti, which provides 20 participants with an opportunity to make a profound contribution to this cause.
- Five nights all-inclusive at Singita Explore, a luxurious, exclusive-use tented safari camp with a prime position to view pristine wilderness and the wildlife of the Serengeti (excludes all transfers and flights). In line with Singita's long-standing commitment to women's empowerment programmes in the Serengeti, a portion of the nightly rate will be subsidised as further support of this initiative.
- The first day of this experience will include ‘fun run’ for local women and girls where guests will have the change to engage with the local community who will ultimately benefit from this fundraising event.
- Exclusive access to Singita’s 350,000-acre concession offering incredible up-close wildlife encounters.
- A three-day, 30km or 90km, multi-stage journey to raise funds for girl and women’s empowerment (runners of all levels are welcome to join for all or part of each day's distance).
- Daily game drives, all meals and beverages (excl. French Champagne), all activities and laundry service.
- One departure date: 19-24 October 2018. Maximum 20 guests.
- Rates are $1,413 per person sharing (two participants per tent) for the all-inclusive 5-night package, plus a tax-deductible donation of $15,000 per person will be used to fund women's empowerment and leadership programmes in the Serengeti.
- The run will aim to raise funds and awareness about the challenges facing girls and women living in nearby communities and seek sustainable solutions.
- The main focus is on opportunities for women to become leaders in conservation in their communities and countries.
- Singita Grumeti Fund programmes include secondary school, vocational studies and university scholarships, life skills and enterprise development training, environmental education and internships.
