Cricket on the Equator
The Rhino Cup takes place in one of the most dramatic settings in world sport: Ol Pejeta Conservancy, on the equator, with Mount Kenya as a backdrop. Playing cricket in the company of rhinos, elephants, and giraffes makes this a sporting experience found nowhere else.
An International Tournament
Since its inception, the Rhino Cup has attracted teams from Kenya, the UK, Australia, South Africa, Mauritius, and Pakistan. The format is fast-paced eight-a-side cricket, creating a weekend of competitive but social matches, shared meals, and lasting friendships.
A Longstanding Tradition
The tournament has been running since 2015, steadily growing into a highlight on the international charity cricket calendar. Players return year after year, drawn by the unique combination of competition, wildlife, and community impact.
Sport with Purpose
Every run and every wicket at the Rhino Cup supports a bigger cause. Proceeds are split between rhino conservation at Ol Pejeta and youth cricket and educational development through the East Africa Character Development Trust, making the tournament as meaningful as it is memorable.
A Weekend to Remember
Beyond cricket, the Rhino Cup offers game drives, networking, and immersive experiences in the African bush. Players and supporters enjoy an extraordinary blend of sport, adventure, and philanthropy: a truly unique sporting weekend.
Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Home to the largest black rhino population in East Africa and the last two northern white rhinos on the planet, Ol Pejeta is a world-class conservation site. The Rhino Cup gives participants a rare chance to experience this sanctuary up close while supporting its vital protection work.
