Rhino Charge Trophy
Spirit of the Charge

Carnivores - A first time entrant the Carnivores fought to get their car ready. On the way to site they blew the transfer box. With the help of the often mentioned Autoworld who sent parts from town, they finally arrived at midnight but made it to convoys for the start. They battled valiantly through the day with a jury rigged fuel system but were finally defeated by the car after 9 checkpoints. Special mention to Kalamazi who having burned out one battery on their 24V car managed to pull start the car with a rope wrapped around the rear tyre.

The $82,347 raised by the teams for the Elephant Charge 2012 supports conservation in Zambia through grants to the following organisations and projects:
