Fundraising Projects

We sell a variety of different items which aids in raising funds for the Trust. These are the items that are sold at the gates of the Park as well as at our fundraising events.

Fundraising for rhino protection.

We have a dedicated store inside the Pilanesberg Centre, run by our saleswoman Fortune. We also have a pop-up stall one weekend each month which is run by the dedicated Makanyane Volunteers.

Rhino populations worldwide are under severe pressure from poaching due to the demand for their horn. Increasing annual death statistics show that seemingly there is no halt to this trend. The question often asked is “Why, if so much is being done to prevent poaching, are Rhinos still being killed?”

One of our most popular and well supported fundraisers is our annual cycle tour. The route takes cyclists through the wilderness areas of the park, and allows participants the opportunity to experience Pilanesberg like never before!

Each year the Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust, in partnership with Sun City Resort, hosts our annual Golf Day fundraiser. Sun City sponsors the beautiful Lost City Golf Course for the day, and all proceeds go towards rhino conservation in Pilanesberg.
