The Africa Rally 2025

Three weeks of unbridled exploration, life changing experiences, and friends who will be with you for a lifetime. An epic party at the start, half way, and finish line, and plenty of opportunity for mischief in between.
That’s what happened on this SOLD OUT edition of The Africa Rally!

There were a number of highly ridiculous additional vehicles to take part in The Africa Rally 2025, so we would like to take this opportunity to give a special nod of approval to Team Hectic Africa in a London Taxi, Team The Wayward Order of the Dusty Clutch in a Mercedes Stretch Limo, and Team The Sidecar Guys on a 500cc Royal Enfield & Sidecar.

We also had a whole host of brilliant classic vehicles complete this year’s Africa Rally, proving once again that you don’t need a 4×4 to see Africa!

…but finally!

The Golden Pineapple Award for The Africa Rally 2025 goes to Team Ewe Turn from Wales, driving a 1997 Land Rover Discovery…

…by the time they walked across the Finish Line they were affectionally known as Team Lion Bait, for having the dubious honour of being the first Africa Rally participants to ever (almost) be eaten by lions!

We always said safety not guaranteed in Africa – but luckily they took it on the chin, refused to give up, and for that along with many other reasons earned themselves the 2025 Golden Pineapple. Bloody well done lads!
