 | | The true African Rally experience
Crossing the Sahara and the Savannah by car has been a dream for many who grew up watching the Dakar Rally on television. The Dakar had been a the domain of well financed rally teams in Africa. The Budapest-Bamako became the low cost alternative in 2005. With the Dakar's departure from Africa, we are now the world's largest Trans Saharan rally, remaining committed to our low-cost principles and helping the communities that we visit.

The adventure returns to Bamako in 2011. Committed to our low-cost, community principles it is possible to enter for FREE if you drive a funny car or a public service vehicle. Drive a donation ambulance or a fire truck and you are in at no cost. The Bamako By The Book category is another ultra low budget way to enter the world's greatest adventure in 2011.

| | The legend continues
From its humble roots the Budapest-Bamako has grown into a major international sporting and cultural event. Hundreds of drivers and adventurers set out each winter for Africa bringing direct aid to the world's poorest communities.In 2005 only 45 teams lined up at the start line. In 2010 over 500 people made the journey and sent 20tons of aid to Mali and Mauritania. As the event constantly evolves the spirit remains the same: Anyone, By anything, By any means.
