Challenge4aCause 2011 Event Line-up

February 18, 2011

Three years ago, we at Rhino Africa, always keen to find more ways of helping conserve and protect our valuable natural resources started a little project called Challenge4aCause. That first year 18 challengers cycled 300 kilometres across the Damaraland Desert and raised R300,000 for the The Save The Rhino Trust that protects the desert adapted black rhino in the Damaraland Desert.

The following year we again undertook the grueling cycle and raised a further R500,000. Now in its third year Challenge4aCause has grown beyond the bounds of Rhino Africa and come into its own. A fully fledged charity with a point to prove, and a whole lot of good to be done. We’re aiming to raise over R1million this year so that we can fund not only simple anti-poaching techniques, but also contribute to advanced monitoring technologies for all threatened and endangered species.

This year Challenge4aCause will be undertaking not just one Challenge, not even two, but three Challenges! And we’re inviting you to come on these magical journeys with us! You’ll be taking part in a life changing event that will push your personal limits, while helping conservation projects and communities in Africa. This year there will be a cycle through the Damaraland Desert as well as an unprecedented cycle along the remote and pristine Skeleton Coast. Both will be in Namibia and both are remote, desolate and beautiful. The third challenge takes place in the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana. Have a look at our video which will give you a glimpse of what to expect:
