Description:
One of the most breathtaking realms of the world becomes an inspiration for design in this visual survey of the many bold styles of the African safari camp. The seduction of mosquito netting undulating in the wind, the romance of rich Oriental rugs on a lush savanna, the classic civility of silver antiques and the romance of a wardrobe trunk packed with khaki, silk, and lace are just some of the defining elements of safari style. Among the many locations that appear for the first time in print are Hemingway's "Casa Matata" in Kenya, the traditional Finch-Hatton camp of luxury and romance, and Africa's most exclusive camp: Abu's Elephant-Back Safari camp in Okavango. And besides being a dream album for travelers, interior design photographs present creative solutions for the home that can be achieved with domestic merchandise and ethnic crafts, no matter how far you live from the majestic plains of Africa. Radiant photographs so powerfully evoke this continent that one can almost hear the grass rustling and feel the heat of the red setting sun. Also included is a worldwide shopper's guide and a safari accommodation guide.
