about the expedition 

The poaching scourge has spread to a new frontier which includes the Eastern Cape and KZN as pressure has been placed on poachers in Kruger. For this reason, we launched the OLLI FRONTIER RHINO RIDE  which took place from 1July 2017 to the 2 August 2017. By bicycle,Wayne joined 20 of the top reserves in the Eastern Cape and Kwa Zulu Natal from Nelson Mandela Bay to near the Mozambique Border, paying tribute to the role they are playing in conserving our rhino.

MOZAMBIQUE BORDER

The last stop on our route to make the plea to "Close the gates"... in reference to the paucity of borders with regard to horn smuggling

OLLI #jointcustody School Rhino Challenge

We are very excited about our #JointCustody School Campaign which will run from the second term just in time for Wayne's cycle until the end of the year.

 

We have selected 20 rhino calves from Care for Wild Africa – babies orphaned by the brutal poaching of their mothers.  In the spirit of #JointCustody we aim to partner schools in SA and overseas as they work together to raise funds for “their calf”.

 

We want our children to work together collaboratively … this generation working together for future generations.  In this case we will be supporting a credible organisation focused on rehabilitating and protecting a young rhino population.
    
How it works…

 

We will team your school with other schools (preferably in another province/country)

  • You can determine how involved you wish to become and we will send you various ideas and options
  • We will send you a video clip to motivate and inform the pupils
  • We will provide information / history on your rhino calf

 
You can determine how to raise the funds, and if you choose to how to collaborate with your “partner schools” and the period allocated in which to do so but we will aim to tally the monies raised at the beginning of December 2017. While we were on our previous expedition Clarendon Primary School in PE raised R12 000 in 2 weeks.  We were so encouraged by their commitment and desire to make a difference to our conservation landscape.
 
We should never underestimate the conviction and potential of our youth and we want to give them an opportunity to demonstrate this.  There is something profound in having our children working together to give these rhino calves a future and making sure that their own children get the privilege of seeing a rhino in the wild.
 
We cannot afford to do nothing – extinction cannot be our legacy!
