I CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH AN ELEPHANT (Tanzania K2N Stage Race Day 1)

Can't wait for Day 2? Watch it right now on Patreon:   / 106620547  

Today is Day 1 of the K2N Stage Race, a 5-day backcountry experience through rural Tanzania, from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the shores of lake Natron. After 45 hours of travel to get here, we can’t wait to get out on the race course for the prologue today and burn off some pent up energy. But this is Africa, and we're about to get WAY more excitement than we bargained for.

Special thanks to Brett and the entire K2N crew for making this trip unforgettable, and Fred Voigt for sharing drone and b-roll footage to really make these videos pop.
