We are training like rangers,
ARE YOU?
#ForWildlifeRangers
19 September 2026
Join our ranger team, on the 19th of September, wherever you are in the world and run, or walk, #ForWildlifeRangers!Â
Climate change, human-wildlife conflict, and increasing pressures on Africa’s wild spaces threaten our natural heritage every day. Frontline rangers have the dedication, skills, and heart to take on these challenges – but critical funding gaps continue to restrict field operations across the continent.
That’s why TEAM SAWC is officially back in the race for the 2026 Wildlife Ranger Challenge!
Representing the Southern African Wildlife College this year are four of our finest: Tebogo, Reagan, Clive, and James. Together, they will be pushing their physical limits, testing their tactical skills, and running to raise vital funds that directly support ranger welfare, training, and operational capacity on the front lines.
How to take part?
Step 1: SIGN UP
Join our team and then start training, get others involved and on 19 September lace up your shoes and run or walk 5km, 10km or 21km in tandem with more than 100 ranger teams across the continent!
Be sure to choose Southern African Wildlife College – “SAWC Greater Kruger Area 2026” as the ranger team you want to support!Â
Step 2: Donate towards the Challenge
Alongside raising awareness for Rangers, and as part of the Challenge, you will be helping us to raise funds to train future rangers and further support our K9 Unit and Airwing who play an instrumental role in protecting targeted species such as rhino.Â
All Wildlife Ranger Challenge donations will be matched by the
Scheinberg Relief Fund effectively doubling your contribution!
