Rim of Africa - Mountain Passage: Membership

There are many ways to become involved with the Rim of Africa.

There are many creative options for participation, for funding and for helping us make this Africa's greatest trail. We are already building important relationships with the leading long-distance trail initiatives in South America, and the USA.

Membership is more than just donation, its about becoming part of an inspiring community of like-mineded folk, who love the outdoors, who love walking and who above all love a good challenge.
