Book Synopsis
Back to the Bush is the tale of a second year at Sasekile Private Game Reserve for brothers Angus and Hugh MacNaughton. Angus's weekly journal recounts a positive beginning to the year: fastidious Hugh is in love, running his own camp and on the verge of a promotion. Angus is involved in a romantic liaison, which takes the edge off his customary cynicism, and for the first time in their adult
lives, a positive fraternal bond exists between them.
Inevitably, reality comes calling. Angus's love affair ends, Hugh becomes stratospherically arrogant, and Julia, the MacNaughtons' sister, starts dating Angus's nemesis - Alistair 'the Legend' Jones. Then there are a series of further 'hiccups', from demanding lodge guests and marauding monkeys, to a run-in with a blind-drunk head chef, a winter drought, a rogue elephant and the resignation of the sterling head ranger.
You are guaranteed to be entertained by the hilarious antics and hard knocks as well as the fierce beauty of the African landscape.
