From the Botswana Backyard Ultra last week to The Wild Bird Trust 2026 Nkashi Classic mokoro race this week.

The Salt Pans Ultra team has a busy month delivering wilderness events around Botswana!

The Nkashi Classic mission is to strengthen the cultural, ecological, and economic systems of the Okavango Delta.

Good luck to all the competitors!

Happy Father’s Day from the Salt Pans Ultra team. Thank you Dads for showing up every day for your crew ❤️

The pans are admittedly flat. Which as we know does not make them easy. When the terrain briefly changes it’s not necessarily for the better!

The pans don’t sleep. Neither do you.

Out here, the universe has a way of making your suffering feel very, very small.

That distant headlight? Someone is running toward a finish line they can’t yet see.

That could be you. 👇 Link in bio.”
