The Elephant Charge is an annual event which challenges teams of cars and motorbikes to complete a gruelling course through the Zambian bush. The Charge is held to raise money for conservation in Zambia, focussed on conservation through education, and in the thirteen years since in began, the event has raised over $1,000,000 which has been distributed to conservation organisations working across the country.
The Elephant Charge 2024 will be held on 23 September 2024
There are many ways to get involved in the Elephant Charge and support conservation in Zambia.
Enter a team for the Fuchs Elephant Charge 2024, help raise money for conservation and have a incredible weekend of off-road excitement in the Zambian bush.
You don't need a specialised vehicle to enter the Elephant Charge, anything will do so long as you don't mind it getting a few scrapes and bumps. Teams can be between 4 and 6 people. You will be camping in a wonderful part of the Zambian bush for at least two nights over the Elephant Charge weekend and we try to choose a venue each year which is easy to reach from Lusaka and familly friendly.
Entry fees for teams are $500 - or a discounted rate of $400 is you sign up before the end of July. In addition you must make a minimum pledge to the Charge Beneficiaries of $1,000. The purpose of the Elephant Charge is to raise as much money for conservation and of course you are encouraged to use whatever fundraising ideas or sponsorship you can to increase your total. The most prestigious award given at the Charge is the Sausage Tree Trophy for the Highest Sponsorship Raised and this is the trophy everyone is trying to get their hands on.
