Looks like September is going to be jam-packed with interesting events, and what better way to kickstart the event full month than by the famous Dar Es Salaam Charity Goat Races! The Goats are ready for this year's Olympics too!

The Goat Races is a fun family event, attracting crowds of more than 3,000 people from all over Dar es Salaam and elsewhere. However, in all the fun, it’s still important to remember that the Goat Races’ ultimate purpose is to raise money to support small local organisations and charities, and at it’s heart that’s what it’s really all about.
