Exciting battles expected at 34th Rhino Charge

For the thirteenth time, the all-women Rhino Charge crew Bushbabes will be competing at the 34th edition of the 4x4 off-road adventure spectacle set for Saturday 3 June.

Led by driver Sabina Contos, the crew will look to add to their already impressive performance in the event as they are eight-time Coup Des Dames winners.

Team Bushbabes, Car 19 goes head-to-head with their fierce rivals Team Hippo, Car 25 who will be participating for the seventh time in the competition.

Ogranizers are expecting a good turnout as the 2022 edition saw a total of 64 teams take part in the Charge event held in Mosiro, Kajiado County.

Last edition raised a total of Ksh.150,000,000 through various revenue streams with the proceeds invested in conservation efforts around the Mt Kenya, Aberdares and Mt Eburu Forests. 

Kenya Breweries Limited through its brand Whitecap announced its involvement in the event, extending its partnership for the third year in a row and will be hoping for a similar impact as the previous years as it continues to prioritise its primary messaging on responsible drinking within motorsport.
