The Rhino Cup kicks off and wraps up in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital. This adventure, is all about exploring the uncharted, so gear up to be amazed by Namibia's beauty with your team. Your free to roam free, provided you hit the three tactical checkpoints. This ensures you catch all the breathtaking spots (and to keep you from wandering off into Angola!).

The Rhino Cup is not a race - it’s an adventure-driven, challenge-based competition where strategy, creativity, and a touch of madness decide who takes home the glory. While participants are completely free to roam, highly curated challenges and tactical checkpoints set the pace for collecting points along the way. From spotting wild Rhinos, to reaching secluded tribes and climbing sky-high dunes - each completed challenge earns you points. Some are easy, some are brutal, but all are legendary. The team with the most points at the finish line takes the Cup. Full challenge list? Revealed only at the launch event. Expect the unexpected.

Not a pro, but definitely a confident and experienced driver. If you're fresh off your driving test or if road trips aren't your jam, this isn’t for you. Namibia’s roads are mostly unpaved; ff you’ve never left asphalt before, maybe start with a yoga retreat.

2 to 4, but the 4,090 EUR entry fee includes up to 3 members per team. There is a 310 EUR supplement if you are 4.

Let's be clear: this is a genuinely dangerous adventure. You're driving a simple vehicle on rough roads in a remote part of the world. This isn't a glorified holiday; it's a raw, basically unsupported adventure with real risks to your health and life. That's what makes it an epic adventure. By joining, you're taking full responsibility for these risks.

You'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Namibia. It's a legal must-have, extending your license to multiple languages. This document is mandatory for all participants, and one per team won't cut it!

Namibia is increasingly a popular and safe tourist destination with no threats to tourists. Just be sure not to step over into Angola ;) Wildlife can be a threat, but as long as you stay safe in your vehicles when crossing national parks with your windows up, you should be good. Do not wonder off on foot...

Absolutely. You need insurance covering renting and driving a vehicle in Namibia. Imagine the pride (or horror) of your family receiving a whopping hospital bill because you skipped this step. So, get that boring paperwork sorted – it's mandatory. We recommend Europ Assistance, costing around 100 EUR per person, here is the LINK.
