Story
The Rhino Charge is an annual off-road 4×4 competition held in Kenya in which entrants are required to visit 13 points (guard posts) scattered over approximately 100 km² of rough terrain within a 10 hour period. Entrants are supplied with a 1:50,000 scale map of the venue, co-ordinates of the 13 guard posts and their start position the night before the event. Each competitor must plot the guard posts on the map and decide his/her route. The winner is the competitor who visits the most guard posts in the shortest distance (GPS measured). The event is organised in order to raise funds to support the activities of the
Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust
, an NGO which works towards a noble cause: the conservation and protections of Kenya’s mountain range ecosystems, the so-called “Water Towers”.

WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE EVENT FOR OVER 20 YEARS THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF OUR SPONSORS AND WELL-WISHERS AND HAVE RAISED OVER 12 MILLION SHILLINGS TOWARDS CONSERVATION.
