Zeal Charity Challenge

Saturday, 7 February 2026

Moving together to build hope. Join us as we walk, run, swim and cycle 2,833 km to fund the Chandame Mission and the Building Team Centre.

What is the Zeal Charity Challenge

The Zeal Charity Challenge is more than just a fundraiser; it’s a community in motion. On Saturday, 7 February, we are bringing together athletes, families, and donors to support Zeal’s mission work. Whether you are walking around the block, running a trail, swimming laps in the pool or cycling long distances, every kilometre you log and every Rand you donate brings us closer to making a lasting impact in Chandame.

Accounting for effort and to simulate walking, activities such as walking, hiking, running, and kayaking km's are tracked 1:1. Swimming km's are multiplied by 3. Cycling km's are divided by 3. We can only accept what we can verify as GPS-tracked.

About the Grand Prize

The grand prize is a luxury getaway at the Impodimo Game Lodge worth over R45,000.

Perched along a rocky ridge in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Impodimo Game Lodge offers a 5-star safari experience that stays true to its name, meaning "a gift from God" in Tswana. Guests stay in glass-fronted luxury suites carved into the hillside, each featuring private decks, outdoor showers, and fireplaces with panoramic views of the African bushveld. The lodge is renowned for its exceptional game viewing, led by professional rangers and expert Shangaan trackers who bring a legendary level of skill to finding Africa’s Big Five. Between exhilarating game drives, you can enjoy fine Pan-African cuisine or watch elephants drink at the waterhole from the comfort of a unique underground photographic hide. This sustainable, owner-managed retreat perfectly blends world-class luxury with the raw serenity of one of South Africa’s premier wildlife sanctuaries.
