The Red Carpet Party!

The Red Carpet party

Oh what a night! David’s 40th and Rhino Africa’s 6th Anniversary. Never one to do things in half measures, David threw what was undoubtedly the party of the year in the ball room of the Mount Nelson Hotel. The quote of the night was surely that the party committee did wonders on a ‘shoe string budget’!

An ebullient welcome by a throng of screaming fans and flashing paparazzi (albeit that they were hired for the evening) set the tone for the glamorous occasion.

It was a night of celebration coming close on the heals of the successful Challenge4aCause 2010 campaign which this year has raised over R800,000 for the Save the Rhino Trust and other charities. The challengers cycled 330 grueling kms across the Damaraland Desert in Namibia – what better way to celebrate than to don the glad rags and grab a glass of bubbly!

Here are a selection of photos from the evening – there are more on our Facebook page in The Red Carpet Party Gallery. Thanks to everyone involved for making it such a special evening!
