Get to Know Us!
At African Greenthorn Safaris, we believe a safari expedition should be more than simply viewing wildlife; it should be an experience that reconnects people with nature, adventure, and the spirit of Africa.
Every safari is based on a well-planned itinerary to suit your specific safari experience, visiting breathtaking wild, wide-open spaces, incorporating specific cultural aspects steeped in history, as well as many different ecosystems, birding, botany, and the wide selection of wildlife that roam these ancient plains.
Sitting around the fire at night, sharing your experiences of the day’s expedition, reflecting on what Africa was able to provide, while listening to the night chorus of the spotted hyena and perhaps the roar of the majestic lion, while the aroma of the BBQ meat drifts pleasantly by.
Here, friendships are forged, while your hosts, Marc and Lorinda, share their love of the great outdoors.
