Safari Style: Exceptional African Camps and Lodges

Description

"After more than a year of travel deprivation, Safari Style draws the heart, mind and eye away from the relentless grim reality of the pandemic, sending us on a journey back to the manifold loveliness of Africa." - House & Garden Safari Style unveils Africa's new generation of camps and lodges in a lavish volume of spectacular photographs. The book captures the astonishing settings and design ingenuity of the 21st century safari destination - from the classic lodges of Kenya to the indulgent resorts of South Africa and the inspired eco-design of Rwanda's new camps and lodges. Handpicked for their outstanding locations in wildlife enclaves, and for their distinctly regional architecture and interiors, these special properties represent the ultimate African encounter. Drawing on the early 20th-century tradition of the safari, they have reinvigorated the experience with access to parts of Africa previously out of bounds, notably Rwanda, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. These new camps and lodges reinvent the safari and represent a fresh approach to wildlife conservation involving local populations.

"It's hard to choose what's more compelling in this rich and transportive book: the wildlife photography or the evocative eco-camps that will definitely inspire decorating back home."-- "House & Home" "This is a smart and insightful look at some of the most exquisite properties on the continent, a joy fo the armchair traveler and for those who are eager to get back out and explore the world."-- "Forbes" "Throughout Safari Style, elephants roam outside master bedroom windows, zebras traverse entryways and tasteful decor shines. All the while, a meditative stillness is preserved. The images taken across seven different countries capture destinations with three key features in mind: environmental conservation, local connections and architectural masterpiece."-- "Tory Daily"
