The journey took them through many of the countries National Parks including Gonarezhou, Tuli, Hwange, Kazuma Pan, Zambezi NP, Kariba Recreational area and Mana Pools and it was here they experienced the beauty and the horror of our country. Witnessing poaching first hand, abruptly brought the reality of their expedition to attention and further strengthened their resolve to complete the ride. However the incredible scenery of the countryside and the people met along the way reaffirm the cliché – “We live in God’s own country”.
While the ride is over, and the money in the hands of people who are making a difference, the scurge of poaching continues, and concerned donors can still make a difference as 2015 gets underway by supporting anti-poaching wherever possible.

On 6 July 2014 two cyclists set out from the Honde Valley in eastern Zimbabwe in an attempt to ride around the entire borders of Zimbabwe. After 3763km and 44 days Ashley King and Linda Davidson completed the journey riding approximately 100km every day with only three rest days.
The purpose of the ride was to raise money and create awareness for anti poaching efforts in Zimbabwe. Matusadona Anti-Poaching Project (MAPP) The Tikki Hywood Foudation, Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit (VFAPU) and National Parks were the beneficiaries and over $23000 was raised.

Mission accomplished. Ashley and Linda
On top of the Chilojo Cliffs, Gonarezhou National Park. The days ride started at Mahenya and passed over the top of the cliffs and then down to Fishans camp for the night. Tough getting up there but well worth the effort.
