“One of the most important conservation events of the year.”

Travel Africa Magazine

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself; there was a great atmosphere of excitement, interest and enthusiasm.”

Benedict Allen, Explorer

Headline speaker at 2016 Close Encounters event

“Great evening at Explorers Against Extinction, at the RGS. Some poignant messages about animal numbers…”

Crista Cullen

Triple Olympian. Guest at 2017 event and Sketch for Survival contributor.

“Such a success – and a very big THANK YOU from all of us back here in Africa for your efforts. You must have been very pleased. Have received many letters from friends about the evening.”

Oria Douglas-Hamilton

Oria′s daughter Saba was our headline speaker in 2015 with funds donated to Save the Elephants.

“Thank you so much for choosing Save the Rhino to be your beneficiary charity this year, and for organising Wednesday’s event. It was great fun. And you must have been thrilled to have had the VIP there, as were we. I think hardly anyone clocked who was there. Apparently two girls came in late, after the lights had gone down, and made their way over and sat down right next to Bodyguard no 1 – they had no idea who was on the other side, were just looking for some seats. Bodyguard no 1 checked them out with a long hard stare and then decided they weren’t a threat. They never knew…”

Cathy Dean, CEO Save the Rhino International

Our 2016 event was in aid of Save the Rhino. The event was attended by HRH Duke of Sussex.

“It was a pleasure to meet you at the event which I thought was a great success.”

Levison Wood, Explorer

Patron and special guest at 2019 event.

“Thanks for having me last week and well done on raising so much money!”

Rachel Riley, Presenter

Host of 2019 event and supporter of Sketch for Survival.
