Rhino Ark UK
Rhino Ark UK is the sister charity of Rhino Ark Kenya, and works to support the ongoing conservation activity in East Africa. Our local operators work closely with the Kenyan team to submit grant applications, hold fundraising events and promote the cause in the United Kingdom.
We also handle donations for local teams taking part in the Rhino Charge annual off-road competition.
Event Highlights
Celebrating 30 Years of Rhino Ark UK
2025 marks 30 years of Rhino Ark UK—three decades of raising funds and awareness for forest and wildlife conservation in Kenya. From our roots supporting the Rhino Charge to securing spots in the London Marathon and RideLondon, we’ve helped raise over £2.6 million for Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust.
Thanks to your support, electrified fences now stretch over 800km, protecting endangered ecosystems and forest-edge communities across the Aberdares, Mt. Kenya, Kakamega, and the Mau. We’re also investing in rainwater harvesting systems in schools—helping communities thrive while nurturing the next generation of conservation champions.
