#HappyRhinoDay
Today we celebrate the Rhino, this incredible animal has come into the spotlight over the past couple of years due to the endangerment it faces. 🦏🧡
The Rhino population is under threat of extinction due to poaching, efforts are being made throughout Africa to protect and conserve the population. At Thorntree River Lodge we support rangers that guard and track the rhinos to make sure they're protected from poachers. World Rhino Day is the perfect opportunity for us all to stand against the trade of rhino horns and preserve these incredibly magnificent creatures.
Take our quiz on the amazing rhinos!

The last three days of our nine-day safari with African Bush Camps was spent at Thorntree. And what a way to end our once-in-a-lifetime trip! Our room was so beautiful, with the most incredible view of the Zambezi River, we never wanted to leave it. Incredibly comfortable bed, hot shower and so many amenities. However, we came to Zambia to experience Mosi-oa-Tunya, so we did in fact, leave our room. Initially I was concerned that we were further away from the falls than ideal, but it turned out being a little removed from the hustle and bustle of town was much better as we were more immersed in nature. Vervet monkeys constantly kept us entertained!
Quentino was our guide, and we were so grateful for his extensive knowledge of the falls, the Zambezi River, flora and fauna, and the culture and history of Zambia. He took us on a sunset cruise on the river our first night, and we saw so many hippos and birds. Also a couple of crocodiles, from afar. The tour the next day of the falls was fantastic, and we were able to hike to the Boiling Pot, which provided yet another great perspective of the mighty Mosi-oa-Tunya.
Special thanks to our host Haggai who went above and beyond to help us organize our excursion to the Zimbabwe side (we already had the Kaza visa). We really appreciated how he and Bernadette checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our stay.
We had stayed at two other African Bush Camps locations in Botswana prior to Thorntree, and we were very happy with how seamless the transfer from Botswana to Zambia was. We thought it might be super-time-consuming crossing the border and stressful finding our way, but African Bush Camps took care of all the logistics and it was such a smooth process.
This was our once-in-a-lifetime trip, so I did extensive research on the different accommodation options available in Zambia. We chose Thorntree River Lodge—African Bush Camps because their commitment to community, conservation, and education is truly the best. I cannot recommend African Bush Camps enough!

“Africa is not going to be conserved by one or two people, or by one or two organisations. It's going to be a collection of like-minded people that share the same vision and philosophy"

If you suffer from FOMO (like I do), you’ll have a hard time sleeping at all at Lolebezi… There’s just too much to see and experience. Whether it’s the beauty of the lodge, the array of activities on offer, the hospitality of the camp staff and..
Rhinos have existed for thousands of years and play an essential role in the ecosystems around them, especially since they are herbivores and are considered to be important grazers because of their huge appetite.
In September, temperatures in Africa continue to rise, and many safari locations are quickly approaching their peak seasons. If you’re travelling between June and October, wherever you go in Africa, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking game viewing, picturesque views, and a memorable safari experience.
We recently received some wonderful news from a couple who had visited our Linyanti Bush camp for an extra-special romantic safari to celebrate their honeymoon! Just two short months after their stay at our camp, the couple found out they were expecting, and after their precious daughter was born, they decided to name her Evelyn, after the host at Linyanti Bush Camp.
The largest animals on Earth are African elephants. They roam 37 nations in Africa with their herds. They can be identified by their trunk, which they use for both communication and day-to-day survival. Find out all you need to know about the African “ellie” in this blog
As we celebrate World Lion Day, we would like to shed some light on the progress made by The African Bush Camps Foundation through the human-wildlife co-existence projects currently running in Mola, near our Bumi Hills Safari Lodge.
Lions are top predators in their environment, whether that’s grasslands, desert or open woodland. It means they play a crucial role in keeping a healthy balance of numbers among other animals,

Maunga village is a small community of about 50 households located less than an hour’s drive from our Thorntree River Lodge in Livingstone, Zambia. The village is very remote with no running water, electricity, network, or cellphone reception, and has poor road infrastructure. The nearest town is about 20 KM (12.2 miles) away from this village. As part of our mission at ABCF to partner with communities…
