Rhino Charge

Do I need to bring my I.D/ Passport to the Rhino Charge venue?

Yes, you MUST bring your I.D. to the Rhino Charge venue, the same one you used to make the booking; otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter the venue. This is necessary to make sure that:

  1. Your Entry Donation belongs to you
  2. Your Vehicle Entry Donation (VED) belongs to you
  3. Your accommodation booking belongs to you

Please note that all children must also bring their I.D./Passport to the venue.

Can I make a group booking through the Rhino Charge ticketing portal?

No. Each adult must create their own Rhino Charge Account. Only a dependant, i.e. a child under 18 years old can be added to an individual/adult booking. Please note that a maximum of 3 children can be added per individual/adult spectator booking. To make an individual/adult booking you must be over 18 years. The burden of proof for the age of a child (anyone under 18 years) is the responsibility of the adult who made the booking to provide (i.e. copy of birth certificate/passport).

Can I bring my children to the Rhino Charge?

What is the Vehicle Entry Donation (VED) and how much does it cost?

The Vehicle Entry Donation (VED) was implemented to benefit the local host community of the Rhino Charge, and the donation goes directly to the community project fund. The money is then used for community projects, such as the construction of school classrooms or the installation of a borehole.

All Vehicles entering the Rhino Charge venue are required to purchase a VED sticker through the Rhino Charge Ticketing Portal at a rate of:

  • KES 12,000/- for vehicles with 6 or less seats
  • KES 15,000/- for vehicles with 7 or more seats as well as any trucks

Please note that the VED sticker MUST be displayed on the windscreen of any car that enters the Rhino Charge venue. If any vehicle is discovered not displaying a sticker, they will be fined twice the normal rate. The VED can be purchased only through the online ticketing system. The voucher that you will receive will allow you to collect your VED sticker at the entrance to the Rhino Charge venue. Please note that the VED is not refundable.

I have purchased a Vehicle Entry Donation. Is it linked to my car/my number plate?

No, it is not linked to a specific car/number plate but can only be used once to access the venue. Please however make sure that the person who made the Vehicle Entry Donation booking comes to the Rhino Charge with their ID and the voucher to redeem the Vehicle Entry Donation voucher at the entrance. Please note that the Vehicle Entry Donation is not refundable.
