Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit the Car 27 Rhino Charge page
Team "Jeepers Creepers" are competing in the Rhino Charge off-road competition in June in Kenya https://rhinocharge.co.ke/rhino-charge-2022/. The "Charge" has been going for over 30 years and is one of Africa's premier off-road challenges. The event exists to raise funds for conservation in Kenya, and has achieved remarkable results protecting forests, elephants and rhinos, while also reducing human/wildlife conflict. It takes place annually in different remote locations across Kenya. In addition to sponsorship funds raised for conservation, a fee levied on competitors and spectators supports local community projects at each venue.
Team 27 "Jeepers Creepers" is unique in competing in a 76 year old car - a WW2 era Willys Jeep! 2021 was the first time we competed, and we finished top (of the bottom quarter!) - our old machinery beating many modern 4wd behemoths. We learned a lot, and we are confident we can do even better in 2022!
All teams in the competition commit to raising funds for the Rhino Ark charity and we would be very grateful for any support you are able to provide. All funds raised go directly to conservation work; the cost of preparing the vehicle etc is met by the team.
