Holding numerous events, we are entirely dedicated to ensuring your chance at experiencing the real wild coast. Get involved in an Eco-adventure sporting event, cycle one of the most pristine coastlines in South Africa and grasp the amazing opportunity to spend time with loved ones simultaneously.
After more than 10 years of tripping the Wild Coast coastline, Glen Haw and Steve Stamp had mixed feelings about being coerced into creating a structured event along the route. Their love of the region was in strong conflict with their competitive instincts. The resulting compromise was the creation of the IMANA Wild Ride - a fantastic end result for all those taking part.
Enjoy Umngazi’s warm hospitality, cycle the most beautiful coastlines and help make a difference to Umngazi's local community’s neediest learners. Situated in the lush, indigenous surroundings of the breathtaking Wild Coast in the Eastern Cape, award winning Umngazi River Bungalows offers the opportunity of cycling one of the most beautiful, unspoilt coastlines along the South African coast.
The 4 day Bank Umngazi Pondo Pedal is the epitome of purist MTB racing. Each day the races start and finish at Umngazi River Bungalows. Over 3 days, competitors will endure 115 kilometers of varied terrain: single track, cattle track, district roads and swamp trails. The focus of the event is not only an opportunity to enjoy Umngazi’s warm hospitality & cycle the most beautiful coastlines; but also to assist in making a difference to our local community’s neediest learners.
