that lived in the more remote areas of Kenya. The cafe was also

The Thorn Tree
An open-air pavement brasserie/bistro-style café with &
an excellent patisserie range. The Historic cafe gaurds The Stanley's
entrance and has the world's famous Messenger- an acacia xanthophidea,
whose message-board has formed the centrepiece of the legendary
Thorn Tree Café since 11029.
Although the
café is now on its third acacia, the messages keep flowing
from the café and the atmosphere of Africa's best known meeting
place is still as warm and welcoming as it was in those early days.
