Many of us can only dream of such a place yet as they say, the world is proverbially shrinking and these exotic places are becoming more and more accessible provided you can take time off and travel and experience a personal and intimate visit with wildlife of the African bush in places faraway from the hustle and bustle of the city life Wake up to the distinctive cry of the African Fish Eagle, a sound which once heard, will never be forgotten. This majestic raptor symbolizes the wild freedom of the African bush that is visible to you through your bedroom window.

This rugged, harsh bush is home to giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, lion and many other species of animal which are indigenous to both the geographical areas of Marloth Park and Sabiepark bordering the Kruger National Park in South Africa and as one of our guest once commented, it's like being in the garden of Eden.

Many a perception of visiting our wild bush areas which contrary to the reality is the lack of adequate comfortable home facilities. Whilst this might have been true thirty years ago, many houses in the bush now adequately cater for the tourist market in quite a large scale and proud themselves with very high standards and if not five star then as close to 5 Star as damn it!

In these modern times, a house in the bush would consist of the following attributes. Well constructed from durable good quality face bricks, a thatched roof for that very special bush atmosphere and in many cases could feature to be a double storey. If double storey, it will also in all probability have a wooded deck extending from the house on the first floor in order to and without any disturbance whatsoever view passing by wild animals which will obliviously unlikely know about your presence due to your height above them as they cannot pick up your smell.

The average bush home could turn out to be a comfortable home away from home to rest and relax on the balcony and watch the passing game as they trim the trees and lawns surrounding the house and may have the following indoor lavishly styled facilities:

•      2, 3 or 4 spacious bedrooms
