The Rhino Charge Ticketing Portal is the official, and only,
website through which spectators who want to come to the Rhino Charge must book
and pay for:
- An Entry Voucher donation (one ticket per adult)
- Vehicle Entry Donation (VED)
- Accommodation
from accredited camp operators
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
- Entry Voucher donations are sold on a first come – first served basis
- A maximum of 750 persons will be admitted into the spectator camp
- No sale of Entry Voucher donation at the venue (only online)
- Once purchased Entry Voucher donations are not transferable or refundable
- Accommodation bookings for the spectator camp can only be made through the Rhino Charge ticketing portal. If you buy accommodation from any other place / third party you do so at your own risk and will be denied entry. Be cautious of scammers.
Please note that there are strictly no exceptions and until you have paid for your Entry Donation, your Vehicle Entry Donation (VED), and accommodation you do not have entry to the Rhino Charge.
Anyone who wants to come to the Rhino Charge has to purchase an Entry Voucher which donates to the community project fund. This has become necessary due to the growing popularity of the event which has put the host communities and their land under increasing environmental pressure. By introducing a ticketing system, the organisers aim to make the Spectator Camp more attractive to responsible spectators by improving the spectators’ experience as well as improving the administration of the event.
Payments on the Rhino Charge ticketing portal can be made through:
- M-PESA
- Visa
- Mastercard
Entry Voucher donations for the Rhino Charge are available at the following rates:
0 – 5 years = free entry
6 – 11 years = KES 2,000
12 years and above = KES 4,000
Please note that Entry Vouchers are not transferable or refundable.
The Rhino Charge ticketing system works like an airline ticketing system. This means that Entry Vouchers are personalised and linked to your I.D. and only the person who has booked and paid for their Entry Voucher will be allowed to enter the venue. For this reason, Entry Vouchers are not transferable or refundable.

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.
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.
