Story
SAVE THE RHINO... BE A WILDLIFE WARRIOR...
Every year, 390 participants, 65 off-road vehicles and 3000+ spectators have one mission; to raise money to save the endangered Rhinos of Kenya.
Event: The RHINO CHARGE
65 Vehicles, 13 random start points, and a map.
TEAMS:
Driver | Navigator | Mechanic | Front Runner | Mid Runner | Long Runner
Where: KENYA
Every year the region changes, the criteria is simple; wild, untouched and unexplored. The general area is unveiled two weeks before the event. The exact location: 48hours before the event.
Objective:
Be the first car to finish all 13 checkpoints in the shortest distance. Distance - 30km through the roughest terrain, no roads... only mountains, luggers, thick bush, rivers, rocks and more.
Funds:
Each car must raise a minimum Kshs 2million which are USD $20,000 or GBP £15,578. All proceeds go to the Rhino Ark Foundation. Vehicles are built and designed on Team's expenses. All transport and lodging (camping) are handled by the team.
Proceeds:
Building electrified fences to protect the endangered wildlife of Kenya. In particular, heavily poached animals such as the Rhino, and Elephant.
About the Charity
Rhino Ark raises money for the building of electric eco-fences around mountain ecosystems in Kenya, particularly the Aberdares and Mt. Kenya. This provides an "ark" for wildlife such as rhino, leopard, elephant and bongo but also safeguards vital water-table habitats
