About Us
We foster a vibrant community of 4×4 enthusiasts
Adventure + Friendship.
Way back in 2008 a couple of us used to meet at a garage to have this and that fixed on our Land Rovers. The first interesting discovery was that there were several of us… we each used to think we were lone rangers as young (African) guys owning Land Rovers and all of a sudden there we were.
We’d talk about the machines and the things we did with them and why they needed fixing or some modifying and slowly these conversations came to a head with one conversation about doing more than just meeting at a garage. That was the birth of Bundu Rovers!
We very quickly agreed we needed to put something together to get other young like minded Land Rover owners on board – a for us by us initiative – and our many discussions and workings around how to best organize this led to Bundu Rovers Club!
To demystify the Land Rover and all it stands for among young people, and especially young Africans who think it’s a rich man’s car or a white man’s car! To share in the thrills that one can only experience in the best 4×4 ever made, especially off the tarmac! To share ideas and network on how to improve our Land Rovers – Service, Parts and Accessories and to definitely have a different kind of fun!
What we do
We spend our time together getting engaged with a whole variety of activities from drives, camping, training, family fun & pay and play days at various places! Not to mention getting in touch with our green side doing tree planting activities with the Nairobi Greenline Initiative. Some highlights from the past 3 years
Reason for existence
Going out as a family of off-roaders, travelling beyond tarmac and traversing the bush in Kenya and beyond our borders, our expeditions take us into spaces where we discover the hidden gem that is the African Outdoors, with vibrant communities and beautiful scenery to boot.
We find in every trip a unique adventure in companionship, discovering that what binds us together is stronger than the differences we have and that when we share what we have over a campfire we are closer as a community than we could have imagined. We find in every trip a community that enriches us and shares what they have kept custody of and nurtured, for what we call the wilderness they call home. In those encounters, we discover that as we share what we have with these communities we are richer and more fortunate for what we learn.
Giving Back
The club is not just about enjoying ourselves. We partner actively with initiatives that go above and beyond the usual call of duty. Some of the special partnerships have included:
Nairobi Greenline Initiative – right from the start of this initiative club members turned up at tree planting events to ferry seedlings and people as well as take part in the tree planting. When Wangari Maathai passed away members chose to spend a day planting trees in celebration of her life at the Nairobi National Park and
while we were at it what a nice BBQ we had at one of the park’s picnic sites! Ubuntu Foundation holds a special place in our hearts as their initiative touches on children with neurological disorders, bringing normalcy to their lives through fun, therapy and socialization.
Club members have taken part in fun days, dinners and made visits to Ubuntu Café a standard feature of drives to Naivasha just to catch up and share in the spirit of Ubuntu.
