The unique
experience of 'being away from it all' in pure Africa, is the
privilege of every guest. Thornybush offers the best of the bush with
total exclusivity and the luxury of personal service for everyone.
The
incomparable beauty of an African sunset...the unforgettable roar of a
lion in the still of the night...the brilliant flash of the
lilac-breasted roller in flight...the tender impatience of a mother
elephant nudging her baby to hurry up...the magnificence of a martial
eagle on the wing... |
