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.
It’s been very important to create a breeding family, and Mona was brought to be Thabo’s mate. However, Mona wouldn’t allow Thabo close to her or her daughter Lisa. We understood why when Mona gave birth to her second daughter, Sissi, much to everyone’s surprise! When Mona sadly lost her first daughter Lisa, our other female rhino Ntombi comforted her and took her on a tour of the reserve, where she had never been before..
Thabo is an amazing character. Having been found abandoned at one day old, he was rescued by the Moholoholo wildlife rehab centre, and four months later came to Thula Thula. Since the day he was abandoned Thabo has been raised by human hands and we often say that he thinks he is a human, seeking out our attention and company.
17 year old Rambo is the long awaited addition to our growing rhino family and arrived in Dec 2021. Rambo and Thabo (our other male rhino), and the two have established their separate territories without fighting. Rambo has been dehorned and is tracked 24 hours a day by our rangers. He has quickly made Thula Thula his home and can be seen from the farm house, grazing peacefully on the Gwala Gwala plain.
Ntombi is Thabo’s constant companion. Ntombi was five months old when she was rescued by Moholoholo wildlife rehab centre, and having lived with her mother in the Kruger National Park before that, she still had a wild nature. She has settled down happily at Thula Thula and stays by Thabo’s side.
The SOUTH AFRICAN CONSERVATION FUND is the REGISTERED NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION of THULA THULA GAME RESERVE and all its conservation efforts.
