Organisers find slithery surprise during prep

THE Savannah Drive under the guidance of organiser, Shane D’Andrade has embarked on the Max Enduro Team Challenge which will be held on February 24, 2018 at Moraikobai Village.
The event is in collaboration with the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) and it is a one-day event.

D’Andrade said the Max Enduro Team Challenge is not a race but is an endurance ride which comprises of 10 teams, three persons per team with a total of 30 motorcycles.
Coincidentally, when Shane and his team went last week to mark the trails to map out the route for the endurance ride, they stumbled on an almost 25-foot anaconda which they captured without injuring the animal.

The group took the snake to Moraikobai Village and they allowed the children to pet it after which they released the anaconda back into its natural habitat.
Shane D’Andrade said the find was really exciting for the team and more so, the children who had the opportunity see and touch the snake before they released it back into the wild.

Meanwhile, Savannah Drive continues to make strides with their charity drive in which they recently made a donation of fuel (gasoline) for the generator, toys and groceries to the Sanctuary Orphanage at Yarrowkabra, Linden/Soesdyke Highway.
The team of go-cart drivers was on hand to present the toys to the children of the community after which they had a lively interaction.

In 2017 Savannah Drive was officially launched taking to the Savannahs to expose participants to Guyana’s natural beauty while building lasting relationships between Amerindian villages and visitors.

The event, which was first launched three years ago by Shane D’ Andrade follows ancient Amerindian tracks, along changing terrain from sandy to muddy in the beautiful Savannah.
Vehicles and dirt bikes pass ruins, creeks and several Amerindian villages, including Swan, Laluni and St Cuthbert’s Mission and is still an ongoing adventure.
