Are you running while on safari, or on safari while you run? With runners passing elephants, lions, and rhinos on the route, The Be Moved Run Safari is quite definitely much more than just a run.
With Runcation, you explore the world, but with Be Moved, you make a positive impact on it. Each run safari is connected to the one before, through the impact we make and the people and partners involved. It's a journey of growth and connection.
Rangers, who received Global Conservation Force training from funds we raised through the 2022 event, ran with us this year. Thank you to Salomon for shoes for them and their APU colleagues.
Jack Black Beer and water are always there at the stunning and unique Woodbury Tented Camp Amakhala Game Reserve finish line, ready for ‘cheers’
Run in the wild, run with the wild, run for the wild.
Be part of this incredible adventure and make a difference. Join us in September 2024 or May 2025 for a truly unique experience.

It is an incredible feeling to be running with the Big 5 around you. To run where you saw a lion waking in the morning, or on the previous evening’s game drive. But the Be Moved Run Safari is not scripted, the wildlife go where they want, when they want - and our run routes adjust. We adjust where we can for your experience, but first and foremost we adjust them for safety and comfort of runners and wildlife.

So we don’t guarantee you will run near to animals. We just can’t.

We do promise you will run in big, beautiful, wild Africa. That we can.

You can - run in the wild for the wild at The Be Moved Run Safari https://bemovedcollective.org/

There is a lot more to the https://bemovedcollective.org/ Run Safari than running. But let’s not jog around the bush…running with The Big 5 all around is the crowd puller.

It’s hard to beat eating breakfast on the deck of Woodbury Tented Camp Amakhala Game Reserve watching a male 🦁 patrolling energetically right in front of you - with a herd of buffalo not far off keeping an eye on him - all the while remembering that you were told you’d be running past the front of the deck.

Or being told at a water stop you had just run past a herd of 🐘 in the thicket, and ending up seeing them a little more out in the open as you looped back to the lodge.

Or having to get into game viewers to safely drive past a pair of female lions, eyeing you out with a little disappointment that you hadn’t made a run for it.

And finishing off your run with the Ellies on your left and a white 🦏 calmly grazing on your right.

A run to be remembered.

Runners for Rhinos

We cannot tell a lie, here at Runcation as much as we love our running, we are pretty partial to ‘cations too.

Spent the last few days taking minds off Comrades by showing the Aussies around Cape Town. Been a bit wintery, but the Mother City lifted her cloudy veil for two days to let us experience her splendour.

Who better to show you that splendour than our guest Greta 📸
