“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a photographer's paradise, a hunter's Valhalla, an escapist's Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just "home". It is all these things but one thing - it is never dull.”
(Beryl Markham)
“Remember, your adventure starts with the journey, not just the destination.”
 We create unique,
personalised, tailor-made tours to suit individual needs and expectations. We operate out of Kasama and Lusaka. In Kasama our base is the
Thorn Tree Guest House.
How do we operate?
It's simple. Just contact us via any means possible (website/email/fax/phone/in person), stating any location preferences you wish to see and experience in Zambia. For example, we'll take you to waterfalls, historical monuments, heritage sites, game parks or trips down memory lane. You then advise us what your budget is in terms of both time and finance. We propose an itinerary from which we both work together to create your own
personalised, unique safari. With our knowledge of Zambia, we are able to recommend accommodation, lodges etc, to suit all individual needs and expectations.
By booking with us you save both time and effort on research and planning. At each destination we endeavour to book into already existing lodges and camps, and only provide camping at our more remote locations, such as the waterfalls in the North. A personal guide will meet you and then your safari begins. Your guide will accompany you throughout your stay, always available on hand for any questions and advice.
We are committed to helping preserve Zambia’s natural environment, preserving our National Heritage sites and working with the local communities. Many of the locations we camp at are still undisturbed and tranquil; this is due to the fact that they are still mostly unheard of. The North of Zambia, where our mobile safaris are concentrated, is exceptionally beautiful; with numerous game parks, countless National Heritage sites and an abundance of unrivalled waterfalls. As the North is remote, it has thankfully remained somewhat of a mystery and thus has managed to preserve much of its original
splendour.
You are our guest, and so you dictate the pace of your daily safari life. We discuss your preferences long before departure, to see what physically and philosophically suits you, from visits to local villages to experience a day in the life of a Zambian, to botany and bird watching. From fishing on one of our many rivers or lakes, to relaxing in the sun on the white sandy beaches of Lake Tanganyika, this is your holiday!
Thorn Tree Safaris offers a different experience, one where you are in charge of planning your own unique safari. By travelling with us, you are able to sit back and relax. Without any worries you are free to take in all of Zambia's unspoilt beauty. Let us do all your planning and
organising, leaving you, our guests to do the most important task, to experience the adventure. We take a step back into Zambia's rich past, exploring our vast heritage whilst at the same time revealing our hidden, secluded secrets along the way.
We look forward to welcoming you to Zambia and sharing a lifetime experience.
