Kenton Rhino Rising 2026 – Opening Night: The Last Ranger Screening

Step onto the red carpet—Kenton style—as we open the Kenton Rhino Rising conservation weekend with a special screening of The Last Ranger.

Nominated for Best Live Action Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards, this powerful South African story has carried the landscapes, people and conservation challenges of the Eastern Cape onto the world stage.

Inspired by true events and filmed at Kariega Game Reserve and Amakhala Game Reserve, The Last Ranger is a moving story of courage, loss and the people working on the front line to protect our rhinos.
