Meet the team
The Founder
Kayla Parker, 24 years old. Graduated from a BSc honours in Environmental Science. I’ve grown up on a game farm, surrounded by wildlife making it a big part of my life. Having experienced first hand the devastating affects of rhino poaching, I am driven to raise awareness about the severity of this situation. I founded Kenya to Kruger Cycle Tour because I feel that this is just one small way I can contribute.
The Teammate
Christophe Adam, 25 years old. I was born and bred in Mauritius. Having had the opportunity as a child to frequently visit South Africa and Zimbabwe, I grew a passion for wild life and nature conservation. From the years I experienced studying at Rhodes University and an avid bush lover, I believe education is key. That is why I’m cycling from Kenya to Kruger to help raise awareness and fight for our rhinos.
The Support
Kathryn Parker who has committed to seconding the cyclists. Kathryn, Tim's wife, has lived in Hoedspruit for 26 years where she’s been a part of the struggle we face trying to protect wildlife. We look forward to having you on our support team!
