Help Peia Drive the Length of Africa — Graduation Adventure

Celebrating a Brilliant Achievement

Cassia Peia has just completed her Master’s degree at the University of St Andrews with a First‑Class Honours!

The Dream Expedition

This summer Peia and two close friends will buy a trusty 4×4 and drive it from Nairobi, Kenya, to Botswana—or all the way to South Africa if time allows—soaking up 6,500 km of cultures, landscapes, and wildlife over two unforgettable months.

Planned Route (road & visa conditions permitting)

Kenya → Tanzania → Malawi → Zambia → Botswana → South Africa

Why We’re Asking for Your Help

Peia has been saving every spare pound from café and pub shifts and summer hotel‑safari work—but covering the full cost of such an expedition is tough for a new graduate. Your support will directly fund her share of the essentials:

What Your Gift Makes Possible

£10 → ~150 km of fuel (a day on the road!)

£25 → One visa fee or campsite night

£50 → Border paperwork for the car

£100 → New tyre or critical service check

No contribution is too small—every pound gets Peia closer to the Cape.

Paying It Forward

Peia will share photo and video updates so you can travel along virtually. Any funds left after the trip will be donated to a wildlife‑conservation project she meets en‑route.

Thank You

Whether you can donate, share this page, or send a message of support—thank you for helping make this once‑in‑a‑lifetime graduation adventure a reality!
