Kingsley Holgate and the Holgate foundation recently completed a 14,200km humanitarian expedition through Southern Africa.
KwaZulu-Natal recently played host to a unique gathering of adventure, conservation and humanitarian storytelling as media spent time with the Kingsley Holgate expedition crew alongside Defender South Africa.
The event offered deeper insight into the remarkable Africa Traverse expedition undertaken by the Kingsley Holgate Foundation and Defender. Covering 14,200 kilometres across Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and Mozambique.
The humanitarian-focused journey marked both the foundation’s 43rd expedition and a remarkable 25 years of partnership with Defender.
Beyond tackling some of Africa’s harshest terrain, the expedition focused heavily on malaria relief efforts, sight restoration initiatives and youth conservation education, with the team using Defender vehicles to reach remote, flood-affected communities in need of urgent assistance.
