We celebrated Anne and Tim's wedding @thorntreeriverlodge_
What could be more unconventional and wildly romantic than a safari wedding?
Especially, with the charming essence of Thorntree River Lodge - which was voted one of the Most Romantic Destinations in Vogue Travel 2022.
This lovely ceremony was ordained by our very own Trinity on our famous deck floating above the Zambezi River, with the camp staff all in attendance to witness the couple's union.
We're proud to have been a part of this picturesque celebration and wish the couple all the best!
"Loving Africa is not just about nature and animals, it is also the warm & sweet people. The Africans have a big gentle heart and wear their smile daily with pride.
There is a sense of belonging, the community lovingly takes care of each other and sharing is in their nature. They carry gratitude and appreciation with style.
When there is an opportunity to celebrate, dance, sing ... they enjoy ... together!"
- Anne @lemmenstravel

Meet our guide Monday!
This week's guide has created quite a name for himself! Banda Kutlwano (@banda.on.safari) has gotten himself and our camp Khwai Leadwood, mentioned in the latest Travel Africa Magazine article!
“Born and bred in Khwai village, Banda made our visit there far more meaningful and less intrusive than some village visits can be. Everyone seemed to know him as he showed us his childhood home and his auntie’s tuck-shop, and took us to the colourful new kindergarten supported by visitors, local businessmen, and tourism operators, including African Bush Camps.
“Before tourism, there was nothing here, no school or health facilities, just mud-and-grass houses,” Banda recalled. “We used to swim in the river where there are crocodiles; elephants would come out while we played soccer, and we’d all run into the river to get away from them.”

Africa Day celebrates the anniversary of the Organization of African Unity. This holiday, which is formerly known as African Freedom Day and African Liberation Day commemorates, not only the founding of the OAU, but also its role in bringing the African nations together.
An African safari is an incredible opportunity to experience a variety of wildlife in their natural environment. In those moments, in the wild African bush, you would want to savour every moment. There is no better way to do this than by capturing these moments with a camera. We sat down with professional, wildlife photographer, Marlon Dutoit, who gave us some very useful tips for capturing the very best photos with your camera on safari.
Those seeking safari are usually in want of a few key things: incredible animal sightings, diverse activities like game drives and mokoro rides, and beautiful scenery – be it rivers, savannas, or waterfalls. And while these things are all incredible, and certainly a joy to experience, safari is about so much more. Safari, to me, is a feeling – something that you cannot see in a photo or describe to a friend.
