Why It Matters

This event is about more than padel.

Every entry supports local, practical conservation initiatives that protect rhinos and strengthen conservation efforts across the Eastern Cape through the Chipembere Rhino Foundation and the Kenton Rhino Run.

The live drone exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience conservation in action, showcasing how technology is helping protect wildlife on the frontline.

The Padel Tournament forms part of Kenton Rhino Rising – A Weekend of Conservation, alongside the Kenton Rhino Run, Amariders Rhino Ride, Awehness Rhino Swim, conservation talks, community events and a special screening of The Last Ranger.

Join us for a weekend where conservation comes alive through adventure, learning, community and action.

Play for Rhinos.
