It's ALL SYSTEMS GO! Yup, we’ve received the necessary permissions for our 2020 #BEYONDEXPEDITIONS Trip, and we're gearing up for another incredible adventure driven by the @isuzusa, and supported by @dunloptyres, @frontrunnerza, @outdoorwarehouseza & @spotafrica 🙏 We originally had BEYOND BICORNIS scheduled for this year, but had to shelve this 4-country journey (focusing on Rhino Conservation in southern Africa) due to COVID-19 and the ban on cross-border travel. We also felt we needed to focus on the devastating effects the lockdown has wreaked on the lives of ordinary South Africans and, in the process, devise ways of assisting some of the communities in dire need out there. This series of adventures into the most remote corners of Africa has consistently showcased the many incredible landscapes, cultures and experiences offered by our continent, but this time we need to hold out a helping hand ... We therefore completely re-imagined our 2020 plans by changing the name to ‘BEYOND LOCKDOWN’, as we truly believe there will be an eventual end to all the mental dissonance and financial hardship. Something needs to be done to help small #Tourism operators, especially in the rural areas who have seen a 100% drop in income. We will therefore use BEYOND LOCKDOWN to travel to nine inspirational and off-the-grid destinations – one in each of SA’s nine provinces – and from our visit create engaging stories to draw people to these places. Our focus will capture everything from Road Tripping, Conservation and Adventure, to the unique characters found in these Moer-And-Gone places. We believe the way to regenerate jobs and opportunities will be through creating crackerjack media exposure for these off-the-beaten-track destinations. Along the way, we will engage with colourful local characters to assist in creating unique content, and thus convince the general public to pack their vehicles to #playlocal and #staylocal! #IsuzuSA #WithYouForTheLongRun #DunlopTyresSA #TakeTheRoad #frontrunnerza #BornToRoam #SpotAfrica #GetLostStayFound #supportsatourism #SAtourism (at South Africa Cape Town) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_Cwa-JJt7/?igshid=1he60c4h0zdaa
