Why It Matters

This evening is about more than rugby.

It celebrates the power of leadership, heritage and community while supporting local conservation initiatives that protect rhinos and strengthen conservation efforts across the Eastern Cape through the Chipembere Rhino Foundation.

More Than a Campfire Conversation

Around the Campfire forms part of Kenton Rhino Rising – A Weekend of Conservation, alongside the Kenton Rhino Run, Amariders Rhino Ride, Awehness Rhino Swim, the Padel Tournament & Conservation Experience, 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.

Rise for Rhinos.
