BEST Book I've Ever Looked At EVER
These tantalizing pictures of beautiful African terrain paralize me with delight. Once I opened this treasure chest of African glory, I could not stop. Cover to cover, backwards and forwards, this is by far the best hotel book I've ever had the priveledge of having my hands touch. This has a prime place on my coffee table, and heart. I'm going to Africa, baby!!!! And I KNOW where i'm staying!

Exotic playgrounds for the affluent and fantasy for the rest
I really like this book. Kind of heavy and big. Not serious reading of course. Stunning photographs of places most of us can't afford or wouldn't want to. Lots of ideas for those who want to try to make their home look completely different than the norm. Author has selected diverse properties showing you that Africa has just as romantic getaways places as in Europe and the Far East.

Really pleasantly surprised!
I got this book not really realising how big it is. It has some very beautiful photo's of some places to go in Africa along with an idea of the cost, what that price includes, web site links for the resorts featured & a book that you might enjoy while on your adventure. There are some very stunning scenes that will spark your imagination if your thinking of decorating in an African or Safari theme. A few of the Resorts are in here that were featured in "Safari Chic" & "Simply Safari". It is a beautiful coffee table book & it's something you could enjoy looking through it time & again. If I had the option to travel to Africa ... this book would definitely give me some very informative & useful information to plan a memorable vacation.
