Riassunto

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. Bibi Jordan's radiant photographs so powerfully evoke the tawny continent that one can almost hear the grass rustling and the lion roaring.
