Krug Expedition partners with South African wildlife conservation organisation

Austrian expedition truck manufacturer Krug Expedition has announced a partnership with South African wildlife conservation organisation Nkombe Rhino. The aim of the partnership is for Krug to support wildlife conservation projects carried out by Nkombe Rhino, with a set portion of the proceeds from every Krug Expedition Project Rhino lightweight-build 4x4 truck sold or rented going towards the cause. 

Stephan Gorovoy of Krug Expedition said: “Supporting Nkombe Rhino puts us where we need to be: front and centre, doing everything we can to support every effort to save precious wildlife. Our involvement through our Project Rhino trucks hopefully has long-term effects, and we are looking forward to this journey full of curiosity and with an open mind.”

A statement by Krug outlined the main goal of the partnership, stating: “KRUG EXPEDITION believes that tourism informed by conservation efforts, and carried out ethically and sustainably is the only way to ensure a thriving ecosystem. Working with Nkombe Rhino is based on a conscious decision, and a chord that strikes with our philosophy... we deeply care about the environment.

“Poaching and human conflict remain the biggest threats to the safety and wellbeing of wildlife throughout Africa. Alongside Nkombe Rhino’s vision, hopefully one day we will see wild and free-running rhinos with their magnificent horns, without ever being threatened to be killed for it.”
