AXA Sports Bar & Grill Karen
Twende Tuk Tuk Challenge

Dust off your sense of adventure, because the Twende Tuk Tuk Challenge is rolling into town, and it's anything but ordinary. On 25th April, the grounds at AXA on Bogani East Road, Karen, will transform into a wild, high-energy battleground where tuk tuks take on a course designed to test grit, guts, and a serious sense of humour. This is not your everyday drive. Teams of three: One fearless driver and two quick-thinking assistants, will tackle a one-day challenge packed with chaos and camaraderie. The course throws everything at them: splashing water crossings, slippery mud pits, unforgiving rocky stretches, tight hairpin turns, and lung-busting uphill climbs. It's a full-throttle test of teamwork, strategy, and just how far a tuk tuk can be pushed.
