Experience the challenge of a lifetime: International Childcare Trust is looking for 30 thrill-seekers to cycle over 300km from ‘Dar es Salaam, through Saadani National Park to the foot of the Uluguru Mountains outside Morogoro, whilst raising much needed money for vulnerable children in Africa and Asia. This epic challenge will take place from the 2nd to the 11th October.

Cycle Tanzania 2009 will take you off the beaten track and beyond the boundaries of a normal safari; through game reserves, passing Massai tribes and camping under the starry African sky. The ride ends with a visit to an ICT supported children’s project so you can see, first hand, how your fundraising efforts will help make a difference.

Have fun; get fit; make great contacts; and above all, do something really worthwhile.

International Childcare Trust is a small dynamic UK registered charity working in direct partnership with local organisations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and India. We fund high impact targeted projects, managed and staffed by our partner organisations. These projects give deprived children and young people the essentials they need to build a life: shelter, healthcare, education, skills training and companionship.

Tanzania is one of the unique destinations on the African continent that has yet to be discovered by many. It is a country steeped in dominating scenery and a rich culture, with an unparalleled diversity of fauna and flora. Through ICT’s cycle challenge, riders will be able to visit the historic town of Bagamayo, the mainland embarkation point for Tanzanian slaves being shipped to Zanzibar and then onto foreign lands; Saadani National Park, which is the perfect union of beach and bush, and offers the opportunity for cyclists to ride along side hippos, flamingos and giraffes; and Morogoro, a beautiful town with a dominant backdrop of the Uluguru Mountains. The sights and sounds of this country, along with the tough on-going cycling, ensure for a memorable trip.

So if you fancy joining our exclusive team of cyclists, make a difference to your life and someone else’s and contact us as soon as possible as places are filling up fast. For your free information pack, contact Rachel Kennedy on 020 7065 0975 or visit www.cycletanzania.com

Start the year as you mean to go on…Be charitable. Be adventurous. Cycle Tanzania.

Yes. Don't be an eco-vandal. Stay at home. Send even more to charity.

Do everything you can to play on the guilt of the white, middle-class folks that might consider going on your tour...

So it's not just me that gets teed off by these "Charity [insert sport] Challenge to the Other Side of the Moon" goons.

And why are the Eco Holidays in the Guardian always in Madagascar, or Bolivia or somewhere a very long plane ride away? Never here, or even short-haul Europe.

Mind you, I'm not supposed to look at the Guardian. Its middle class smugness brings on my condition.
