🗓 30 May 2026

A New Chapter. A Stronger Identity.

The Okavango Road Race has officially entered a new era.

In preparation for the 30 May 2026 edition, the event has undergone a major strategic rebrand — redefining its visual identity to better reflect its purpose, location, and long-term vision for sports tourism in the Ngamiland region.

This transformation was delivered through a creative partnership with S_lution Points Design Agency, under the art direction of Goitseone Musonda, Creative Director at S_lution Points and Graphic Designer at Debswana Diamond Company.
