Swaziland is an adventure playground like nowhere else in Africa. Mountains, gorges, rivers, plains and wildlife co-exist with the friendliest rural people that you could hope to hallucinate about.

The SX aim this year is to have a high finishing rate, with generous cut-off’s. Maps will be supplied pre-plotted by the organizers. Skilled navigation is still needed, but time need not be wasted plotting points. As always the philosophy is to reward participants who are skilled adventurers. Doing well in the Swazi Xtreme is 50% fitness and 50% natural skill…..and balls!

PRO event competitors should prepare for 200m of descent across 20km of non-stop white-water rafting. The entire field will be supplied with croc rafts from ARK INFLATABLES.
Both the PRO and SPORT routes have challenging MTB’ing legs. The highlight is a rideable 1.9km stretch which drops 400m in altitude. Boulders, rock-hopping, kloofing…all feature in the technical hiking legs. Two consecutive CP points in the PRO event are only one kilometer apart ….with an altitude difference of 800m. Seconding logistics are simple, starting and finishing at the same place, with great transition points between, and only bike transport required. The race package includes all camping and entrance fees.

International entries welcome…we’ll help with logistics.
