Stunning photographic volume showcasing the stylistic diversity of Africa's foremost luxury and eco-safari lodges 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-designed camps of Rwanda. 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 population -Bound in metallic cloth with velvet flocking

Following on the huge success of "Down South: Homes and Interiors in South Africa", writer Paul Duncan (former editor of Condé Nast House & Garden) and world-acclaimed photographer Fritz von der Schulenburg have again teamed up to produce a second book -- again bringing together a diverse and fascinating selection of South African homes all around the country, from high-flyer city homes on the Highveld to enviable Plettenberg Bay beach houses and Cape Dutch homesteads in Cape Town and the Winelands. This is a sumptuously illustrated book featuring many homes never seen before in print: celebrated historical homes include Groote Schuur, Stellenberg and Morgenster; there are modern architectural classics from Johann Slee and Andrew Makin; top game lodges, including the newly opened Samara in the Great Karoo and the Waters at Royal Malewane in the bushveld, world-class decorating from Graham Viney, Boyd Ferguson and Tessa Proudfoot. This is the book every homemaker will want to have at hand for inspiration and an ideal gift for anyone interested in 21st-century South African design and lifestyles.
