Defender Trophy

The Defender Trophy is a vehicle oriented competition that is held annually in Southern Africa in remote and exclusive terrain. Land Rover Expeditions host and execute the Defender Trophy which is presented by Land Rover Centurion.

Testing the character of man and performance of machine

The TROPHY, as it is better known by its competitors, brings together all Land Rover Defender enthusiasts around South Africa and the world.

The TROPHY tests the close relationship between a Land Rover Defender, its driver and co-driver. You and your Defender's true capabilities are exposed and true characters shine as men and their trusted Defender get put to the test.

Protecting our environment

Land Rover Expeditions enforces an environmental friendly policy throughout the Defender Trophy. The Defender Trophy involves and recognises local cultures, people, animals and habitats insisting that competitors tread lightly, embrace and respect the people and earth along your journey.

In the words of Chief Seattle: "Remember we do not inherit the earth from our forefathers, we borrow it from our children".
