Spot the Timeless Africa Safaris’ Lalela Rhino at the V&A Waterfront and snap a selfie
The gorgeous creative rhinos have returned to Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront into the selfie capital of South Africa.
Cape Town’s famous V&A Waterfront are wowing the crowds with a crash (herd) of spectacular, brilliantly creative, life size sculptures of Rhinos exhibited all around the complex. Corporate sponsors enable this exhibition to exist and thrive. This is art of a different kind to help bring the world’s attention to the plight of Southern
Africa’s much loved but endangered real rhinos.
The Rhinos are exhibited by non-profit company The Rhinos Are Coming!!! (TRAC!!!). They are lovingly imagined by artists from South Africa’s prolific creative communities. Artists enjoy painting on such an unusual canvas. They benefit by having their work exhibited and appreciated by many thousands of visitors, as opposed to being confined to art galleries or walls (in the case of muralists in often obscure locations). It also gives artists an opportunity to support a cause they believe in.
Timeless Africa Safaris’ is a proud sponsor of a rhino currently exhibited. The beautiful creation was created by the children of the Lalela Project.
TRAC!!! offers companies and individuals an opportunity to sponsor a Rhino to expand the crash (herd) and to associate their companies with supporting wildlife conservation and in particular saving the endangered Southern African rhinoceros, a cause close to the hearts of all South Africans. Prestigious plaques are attached to the plinths featuring the sponsor’s name and brand, the artists name, and the story about how Southern Africa’s rhinos are being driven to extinction by poachers who kill them for their horns because organized crime in Asia
spreads lies that rhino horn cures a multitude of human illnesses. Three per day are currently being cruelly butchered.
On receipt of the sponsorship funds a portion is distributed to NGO’s dedicated to fighting rhino poaching. Spreading awareness and raising funds are the primary objectives.
TRAC!!! welcomes sponsors from companies and individuals from both inside and outside the borders of South Africa. Several Rhinos are already sponsored by foreign organizations. An added attraction for foreign sponsors is the low exchange rate. Sponsoring a Rhino in hard currency enables European and USA sponsors to own a
stunning piece of art at a bargain price and to participate in helping to save the rhinos.
