As we prepare for the 10th Ride for Rhinos this January, we can proudly look back on 2025 as Waterberg Rhino UK’s most successful fundraising year yet. With our sincere thanks for your incredible generosity, we received nearly £150,000 in donations, firmly establishing the charity as a major force in rhino protection and community development across the Waterberg.

A day to honour one of Earth’s most iconic species and to remind ourselves that the fight for their survival is far from over.

As we approach our 5th anniversary, Waterberg Rhino UK is pleased to report another successful year of fundraising, amounting to over £100,000 for the 3rd year running. This is down to our generous donors, who have continued to support the work we fund, protecting rhino and uplifting the community in the Waterberg.

As the year draws to a close, the trustees of Waterberg Rhino are delighted to report that the charity has continued to expand its support for conservation and the community in the region. This is as a consequence of the £120,000 raised in the last 12 months, with huge thanks to your generous donations.

By working together, sharing information and using the best equipment available, the rangers, reserves and security organisations have a wider reach over the region.

As the year draws to a close, Waterberg Rhino UK is pleased to report that during its second year of operation, we have managed to double our fundraising, allowing us to widen our remit within the Waterberg.

The Waterberg Security Initiative has been a driving force in promoting the environmental protection of the region for the benefit of the entire community.

Boots on the ground: not just a military term but a reality.

As home to one of the last significant rhino populations in the world, the Waterberg has had to become a stronghold, relying on sophisticated technology to help combat the scourge of illegal wildlife trade.

Ride for Rhinos 2022 was a challenge before it had even started. Having endured 2 years of travel restrictions due to Covid, it was rollercoaster effort to get all the riders out to South Africa for January 2022. The 2021 Ride had taken the form of a virtual event, so it was with huge relief and great excitement we welcomed 11 riders to Ant’s Nest Safari Lodge for the start of this annual charity event.
