ADVENTURE
FOR RANGERS
For Rangers Travel + Adventure put positive impact on par with customer satisfaction and profit. By committing 40% of our profit to the welfare and support of heroic rangers and only working with camps and lodges that benefit their locality we are providing our clients with a new way to travel in a way that protects wildlife and empowers local people. We offer full ATOL protection and can also offset the footprint of the travel we arrange to make trips carbon-neutral and even carbon negative.
For Rangers Ultra
A wild footrace in the home of long-distance running.
Travel through multiple conservancies teaming with wildlife and support the brave rangers who protect them. A 230km race split into 5 stages crossing five wildlife conservancies each of which has its own characteristic terrain from verdant grasslands to forest; the playground of East Africa’s iconic wildlife.
Mount Everest
In April 2019, the ForRangers founders, Sam Taylor and Peter Newland headed to Nepal to put the ForRangers flag on the summit of the worlds highest peak – Mt Everest. This was a result of months of training and preparation, including summiting Mt Blanc and 8,000m peak Mt Manaslu in the Himalayas.
Like all great adventures, there were highs and lows, but ultimately the goal was achieved and a ForRangers flag was successfully placed on the top of the world.
Take a read below of an honest and humorous account of their achievement.

Jungle Ultra - Peru
5 marathons in 5 days; the race started at 10,500ft in the Andes and saw runners drop into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest. Temperatures reached up to 40°C, and humidity levels got to almost 100%. With 70 river crossings, brutal terrain and unpredictable weather conditions, this 230km self-supported footrace is understandably considered one of most gruelling races on earth.

Marathon des Sables – Morocco
A gruelling six-day, 250km multi-stage adventure race through a formidable landscape in one of the world's most inhospitable climates, the Sahara desert. You must be fully self-sufficient, carrying on your back everything except water that you need to survive. You are given a place in a tent to sleep at night, but all other equipment and food must be carried.
The Mongol Derby
The race extends 1,000 km through the Mongolian Steppe and is known as the world's longest horse race. Along the course of the race, riders have the option to stay with local nomads or camp out. In 2010, the Mongol Derby achieved the Guinness World Record title of the longest multi-horse race.
Cycling for Rangers
An 8,000km cycle from Johannesburg to Nairobi fundraising for Anti-Poaching Rangers, while telling their stories on the ground through a feature documentary film.
The documentary will create a platform for those on the frontline of Africa's war with poaching to be heard. The film will give an honest account of the challenges that Rangers face on a daily basis and highlight the areas where we can support their efforts.

Yukon 100
Kayaking for Conservation is a private initiative to raise funds and awareness for the conservation of Rhino and Elephant in Kenya. The Yukon 1000 is the first mission with hopefully many more to come. All of the donations for this expedition race will be donated to For Rangers and their group of associated conservation trusts.
We appreciate all the support we can get. If you are interested in joining us on one of our adventures or have one of your own you would like to do and raise money along the way, then please get in touch.
Thank you.
