All is set for Rhino Charge action on May 31

By Correspondent

This year’s Rhino Charge driver’s briefing will be held tomorrow at Braeburn School along Gitanga Road in Lavington, the Clerk of the Course, Anton Levitan has announced.

Besides the drivers, representatives of each team, guard post officers and sponsors are expected to attend the briefing.

Levitan said this year’s event takes place on May 31 at an undisclosed location and has been fully subscribed.

Meanwhile, to ensure that camping facilities and the area set aside for camping are as charger friendly as possible, there will be two camping areas — one for competitors/guard post sponsors/service sponsors/officials and their guests only and the other a spectator campsite.

The spectator campsite will be managed by Tarpo Village where tents and catering will be available by prior booking with Tarpo and an area where members of the public may camp using their own equipment.

There will also be food outlets at the spectator camp, headquarters and the gauntlet. All vehicles entering either the Tarpo Village or the Spectator Campsite will be required to pay the Land Access Fees (normal entry fee) of Sh6,000 per car, Sh10,000 for a minibus, Sh20,000 for a canter and Sh30,000 for a bus including overland trucks. Camping fees are given to the land owner hosts for nominated community need.

All proceeds from the event go towards fencing the Aberdares to secure its vital national water catchment and indigenous forest cover and provide protection for the families who live along the fence line from crop damage and attack by wild animals.
