Trek for the Bongo, 2022 Edition
18 – 21 September 2022
The First Annual Trek for the Bongo
The inaugural Trek for the Bongo was held in 2022. Eli Roimen of the Janus Continental Group led this hiking expedition. Through his thrill for adventure and passion for wildlife, he raised critically needed funds to boost the Mountain Bongo breeding and rewilding program. Over three days, he successfully summited Mount Kenya's Lenana peak three times! Our primary sponsor, Janus Continental Group, matched all the funds raised.

As an experienced mountaineer, I have successfully climbed various mountains across Africa. This time, I wanted to test my limits by attempting a seemingly impossible feat, summitting the Lenana peak thrice in three days. While at it, I also wanted to use the opportunity to promote a cause close to my heart: wildlife conservation. And that's how the Trek for the Bongo came to life.
