Summary: 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 opulence of rich Oriental rugs on a lush savanna, the classic civility of silver antiques, and the nostalgia of a wardrobe trunk packed with khaki, silk and lace are just some of the defining elements ...of the safari style.From the tip of Cape Town to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Safari Chic transports readers to settings and personalities steeped in nostalgia and charm. Among the many locations that appear for the first time i print are Hemingway's wife's "Casa Matata" in the highlands of Kenya, the luxurious Finch-Hatton safari camp in the wilderness of Tanzania, Conservation Corporation's contemporary game lodges South Africa's most elusive camp, Abu Elephant Back Safari Camp in the waterlands of the kavango Delta in Botswana.In addition to being a dream album for travelers, Safari Chic offers interior design photographs presenting 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. Bibi Jordan's radiant photographs so powerfully evoke the tawny continent that one can almost hear the grass rustling and the lion roaring. Also included are a shopper's guide and a safari accommodation guide. [read more]
