MyLife Dusi Canoe Marathon - How to do Guinea Fowl Portage with Thulani Mbanjwa

Put the bicycle down for a minute and check this out! The MyLife Dusi Canoe Marathon is in its 70th year of existence. This 3 day canoeing race from Pietermaritzburg to Durban in Kwa-Zulu Natal is iconic in the paddling community and beyond. Participants face rapids, man made weirs, gruelling flatwater stints across Inanda dam, and of course the infamous portages where paddlers carry their boats over long distances to cut out large bends in the river or unpaddleable gorges.

In the lead up to the event taking place from the 18th - 20th of March this year, we took a trip to KZN and met up with Thulani Mbanjwa, a legend of the race, where he would share some of his expertise on how to approach and navigate certain rapids and portages on the route. We cruised into the valley in our CMH Group Hilux, proper style, and got down to business.

This video details the Guinea Fowl Portage, the second portage of Day 1 at the event. It is over 4km long, with a boat on your shoulder. Not child's play!
