Born out of the landscape of the African savanna, this text is a dynamic combination of primitive architecture and the high decorative style of European explorers in Africa. From tree-house camps and thatched bungalows to lodges akin to small luxury hotels in the wild, the 26 lodges featured in this volume come from the southern African states of Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Accompanying 200 colour photographs is an inspiring text that should entice any home decorator into transforming a city apartment or country house into a home reminiscent of any of these African locales. Lodge addresses are provided for the intrepid traveller, and a source list makes it easy to find everything you need to recreate an African atmosphere with elegance, simplicity, and vitality.
