SAADANI NATIONAL PARK · TANGA–COASTAL REGION

SCCC is a tourism and cycling event designed to create a unique connection between adventure, wildlife, coastal tourism, conservation, health, and community development.

SCCC is more than a cycling challenge; it is a platform for promoting domestic and international tourism, healthy lifestyles, environmental conservation, and meaningful community participation.
