点评:Participating in the marathon organized by Setco College near the Serengeti Park in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. Over the course of two days, my friends and I who came all the way from Belgium, had a beautiful challenge that was deeply rewarding.
The event kicked off with a half marathon in Mugumu just as the sun began to rise. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and good energy. The second day was even more unique, as we were up before dawn to travel by bus to the Ikoma Gate, where we started our 12km run at sunrise. Running among the majestic wildlife—zebras, elephants, giraffes—was a surreal experience that will forever be etched in my memory.
The organization, led by Samuel and the Setco College team, did a really good job. Every detail, from the beautifully designed running shirts and medals to providing water, snacks, and even lunch. The price for such a well-organized event was also really reasonable, making it accessible to a wide range of participants.
What made this marathon even more special was the cause behind it. All proceeds were dedicated to fight poaching in the Serengeti park and providing meals in schools. This way you help protecting wildlife in the Serengeti Park and feed children, making every step we took feel purposeful. The people we met were incredibly open and friendly, adding to the warmth and joy of the experience.
To top it all off, one of our group members finished in the top three and received a significant cash prize:).
If you find yourself in Tanzania during this period, I highly recommend participating in this marathon. It’s a rare opportunity to run literally among the wild animals of the Serengeti, contribute to wildlife conservation, and take home some very cool, well-designed gadgets. A huge thank you to Samuel and the entire Setco College team for organizing such a unique and unforgettable experience!

比赛在太阳刚刚升起时,在穆古穆以半程马拉松拉开帷幕。现场气氛激动人心,充满活力。第二天更加特别,我们在黎明前起床,乘坐巴士前往 Ikoma Gate,在日出时开始 12 公里的跑步。在雄伟的野生动物(斑马、大象、长颈鹿)中奔跑是一种超现实的体验,将永远铭刻在我的记忆中。
由 Samuel 和 Setco College 团队领导的组织工作做得非常好。从设计精美的跑步衫和奖牌到提供水、零食甚至午餐,每一个细节都做得非常好。如此组织良好的活动价格也非常合理,让广大参与者都能负担得起。
这场马拉松的特别之处在于其背后的原因。所有收益都用于打击塞伦盖蒂公园的偷猎行为和为学校提供餐食。这样,你就可以保护塞伦盖蒂公园的野生动物,喂养儿童,让我们的每一步都充满意义。我们遇到的人都非常开朗和友好,为这次经历增添了温暖和快乐。
最重要的是,我们团队的一名成员进入了前三名,并获得了丰厚的现金奖励:)。
如果你在此期间来到坦桑尼亚,我强烈建议你参加这场马拉松。这是一个难得的机会,可以真正在塞伦盖蒂的野生动物中奔跑,为野生动物保护做出贡献,并带回家一些非常酷、设计精良的小玩意。非常感谢 Samuel 和整个 Setco 学院团队组织了如此独特和难忘的体验!
