The adventure is about to begin as the Yarrowkabra Savannah Drive 2017 was on Friday morning launched by Savannah Drive, St Cuthbert, Sandhill.
The two-day trek will be held on March 12 and 13 and it is expected to be a great adventure starting from Yarrowkabra, St Cuthbert Mission to Moraikobai.
The aim of the drive is to take people to places in Guyana that are beautiful but that are considered remote. Off-road bikers who on numerous occasions explore
the various trails will now be taking along interested persons to those areas.
Savannah Drive hopes that after these routes are explored, they can become

routes to see on the Guyana tourism guide. Event organiser, Shane Danradie said that the Savannah Drive is a dream of his that is now becoming a reality.
The man who even named his daughter Savannah said his objective is to open hard to reach trails on the Linden/Soedyke Highway.
Calling himself “a junkie for trails” Danradie added that he along with his team put forth their best efforts to make inaccessible places, accessible for exploration.
Indranauth Harlasingh of the Guyana Tourism Authority (GTA) fully endorsed the event, noting that the GTA is very keen on opening new areas in Guyana.
He applauded Danradie who he noted has done a number of pioneering works and has established a name for himself. Accessibility, Haralsingh noted, is important and needs to be created which is being done by the Savannah Drive.
Two other similar treks will be held during the coming year by the Savannah Drive to different areas.
Vehicle registration fee is $5000 and entry fees upon entry into each village will cost $1000 to be paid at village tolls.
