Rhino Adoption Fund
Conservation Fund for the care, protection & survival of our endangered wildlife
Adopting a rhino is a great way to contribute to the conservation and protection of these magnificent creatures. By symbolically adopting a rhino, you are helping to fund programs that work towards their survival and well being. Additionally you will receive an info pack and personalized certificate of adoption.
Mona & Sissi
It was very important for us to establish a breeding family, and Mona was brought in to be a companion for Thabo. However, she refused to let Thabo near her or her daughter, Lisa. We soon discovered the reason: Mona gave birth to a second daughter, Sissi—much to everyone’s surprise!
When Mona tragically lost her first daughter, Lisa, our other female rhino, Ntombi, gently stayed by her side and guided her on a tour of the reserve—a place Mona had never explored before
Thabo
Thabo is an extraordinary character. Found abandoned at just one day old, he was rescued by the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, and four months later he arrived at Thula Thula. Since the moment he was left alone, Thabo has been raised by human hands, and we often joke that he believes he is human—always seeking out our attention and company
Rambo
Seventeen-year-old Rambo is the long-awaited addition to our growing rhino family, arriving in December 2021. He and Thabo, our other male rhino, have settled in well together, each establishing his own territory without any conflict.
Rambo has been dehorned for his protection and is monitored around the clock by our rangers. He has adapted quickly to life at Thula Thula and is often seen from the farmhouse, grazing peacefully on the Gwala Gwala plain
Ntombi
Ntombi is Thabo’s devoted companion. She was only five months old when she was rescued by the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, and having lived with her mother in the Kruger National Park before that, she still carried a strong, wild instinct.
Since arriving at Thula Thula, she has settled beautifully and remains faithfully by Thabo’s side. Here is Ntombi with her calf, Jabulani
Rocky
The name “Rocky,” of English origin, means
“made of rock” and is associated with strength,
resilience, and steadfastness. We hope Rocky will
live up to his name as the new bull on the block!
As he gets acquainted with the other rhinos,
establishes his rank, and embraces his role as a
leader, we’re confident he’ll be just as iconic and
charismatic as the legendary Sylvester Stallone!
Stella & Her Baby Calf Shanti
Stella’s name, of Latin origin, means “star,”
symbolizing luminosity and beauty. This is
especially fitting, as she is the newest and
youngest adult cow, accompanied by her calf,
Shanti, whom she lovingly guides—much like
the stars guide us.
Shanti’s name, derived from Indian or Sanskrit
origin, means “peace.” Her arrival represents
the harmony between man and nature that
we strive to practice and encourage at Thula
Thula.
