ABOUT US
Our Story
White Rhino Tours is dedicated to adventure travel that centres on sport, conservation and engaging with the local community. Each tour provides funds to help protect the local environment.
Our team have been running tours in Kenya for more than a decade and have been operating the Rhino Cup since 2015. Our tours focus on playing sport in world famous locations and we cater to individuals and groups of all sporting capabilities, as well as the essential supporters and spectators.
We believe that travelling is an active experience, one of engagement with local communities and environments. The best way to conserve the world we live in, is by truly living it.
Conservation and Charity
White Rhino Tours donates $200 (USD) per traveller to help conservation efforts in the regions that we visit. We believe that our growing success and good fortune should also benefit the regions that are integral to our operations. We have raised over $200,000 for charity and conservation efforts in Kenya since 2012.
The main beneficiaries of our more recent fund raisers since 2015 have been The Foundation for Youth Cricket and Education in Kenya (FYCEK) and Ol Pejeta Conservancy, which is located on the lower slopes of Mount Kenya in the Laikipia region of East Africa. Ol Pejeta was home to Sudan, the last male Northern White Rhino in the world. Sudan's death in 2018 leaves just two female Northern White Rhino's remaining, both protected at the conservancy along with 200 other white and black rhinos.
Connecting our clients with the crucial conservation work being undertaken at Ol Pejeta is integral to raising funds and awareness for the conservancy.
