The Tour de Addo has created a buzz around the Mountain Bike community since its inception in 2019. Red Cherry Events was approached by the Addo Region in 2021 to assist with organising the event. In 2023, three rides were organised. In March and April, there were a total of 38 participants. The August ride in Nyathi and Darlington Sections, hosted 50 participants. All the rides were accompanied by four members of the SHR and two paramedics. The March and April rides traversed Kuzuko Game Lodge which borders Darlington Dam Section. On day one, the cyclists enjoyed seeing the elusive, illustrious, Sylvester and Fielies. Gerhard de Lange, a General Manager at Kuzuko Game Lodge, gave a presentation to the group on the management of lions, focusing on Sylvester. The riders spent the next two days cycling in the Darlington Section of Addo Elephant National Park, giving the riders a close-to-nature experience. 124 SANParks Honorary Rangers 2024 TOUR DE ADDO Members’ activities continued
