Remember, every little bit helps but a slightly larger bit helps even more :).

Want to know more about the Rhino Charge and what it involves? Read on ...

So ... What's the Rhino Charge? The aim of the charge is to make your way in a 4wd vehicle to as many checkpoints as possible, across the most challenging and gruelling terrain that Africa has to offer in the shortest possible distance! This means cutting across and through bush, rivers and even on occasion simply rolling the car over down a ravine! In a 2021 article, Forbes Magazine called it the "World's Most Extreme Offroad Chalenge"!

But its not all fun and games … there is a very serious purpose behind all this … The Rhino Charge is a fundraising event for the conservation of the water towers of Kenya. The conservation activities are implemented by Rhino Ark, a charitable trust that develops sustainable solutions to the challenges facing mountain forest ecosystems and threatened bio diversity areas, through public-private partnerships. detailed information can be found at http://www.rhinoark.org/

Since 2008 the DeRanged Rovers have through their participation in the Rhino Charge, raised over $187,000 towards the Rhino Ark cause. And none of that would have been achievable without all our supporters and their generous donations.

The 2024 Rhino Charge has now been confirmed for 1 June 2024 at an undisclosed location deep in the Kenyan bush and work is already underway on the DeRanged Rover (and her crew) to repair the damage done last year and get fighting fit for this year's Charge. Last year, we managed to raise over $17,000 - and this year we are hoping to at least match that, if not beat it! And for that, we need all your assistance and support! Remember, any donation, however small, is welcome but the larger the better ;) .

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Rhino Ark will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 20% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Our successes in conservation are thanks to your continued support. So please sponsor us now!

Asante Sana from Team No. 51
