Run and Climb for Wildlife
On 19 September 2026, around 50 people who are dedicated to making a difference in nature, and the environment, will head off for the 11th Rhino Peak Challenge in the Maloti-Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site.
It is a day for making memories as ambassadors for the Endangered Wildlife Trust and Wildlife ACT take on the challenge to reach the top of the Rhino Peak – all in the name of raising money for key conservation projects.
With the race fast approaching, the EWT’s team, led by Tammy Baker, is inviting those who love the outdoors and believe that individuals can make a difference in our natural world, to join them for an adventure aimed at making a difference.
Tammy will be taking on the Rhino Peak Challenge for the 8th year in a row. Thus far, Investec has secured two exclusive ambassador spots for the 2026 Rhino Peak Challenge. You are invited to join up and become part of an exclusive team of 48 taking on the 21 km run / hike to rach the 3,056 m Rhino Peak. Â
The Rhino Peak Challenge (RPC) is a conservation fundraiser aimed at raising funds for the EWT, Wildlife ACT and the Bearded Vulture Recovery Programme for the conservation of vultures, rhinos and cranes.   In the past decade more than R10 million has been raised through the RPC.
Tammy says beyond the physical test, the Rhino Peak Challenge offers an unforgettable weekend of adventure, camaraderie, and purpose. To secure one of these exclusive ambassador places, you have the privilege of raising a minimum of R20,000 in support of conservation. In return, you’ll enjoy a fully hosted weekend experience and the chance to be part of one of Southern Africa’s most inspiring conservation fundraising events.
Participation is deliberately limited to create a truly special experience for those involved, bringing together like-minded people who are passionate about protecting Africa’s natural heritage while making a tangible impact for conservation.
If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.
