Race among the wildlife of the African savannah in an adrenaline fueled trail run!

The Big Five Marathon takes you on an adventure through the South African Savannah of Entabeni.

In one of the most spectacular game reserves in Africa, the challenging route crosses right through the habitat of the African game, including the famous Big Five: Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard.

No fences, rivers, nothing at all separates the runners from the African wildlife!

Our entry packages introduce you to the many sides of South Africa; its rich culture, mouth-watering cuisine, and specacular nature. We will take you to some of our favorite places, where we create unforgettable memories shared with fellow running-minded travelers, friends and family.
