Bring Africa into your home

African design is up there with some of the worlds most exciting and inspiring design trends.

Living overseas, I’ve become very nostalgic when it comes to African design and have bought elements of it into my own home. Here are a few items I love to bring your home on trend with Africa.

We salute the rangers of the world!

Around the globe, park rangers are on the frontline in the ongoing fight to protect our natural heritage. World Ranger Day offers a chance to pay tribute to their vital work; to give a heartfelt salute to rangers who continue to put themselves in danger for critical causes.

“Looking into the night, I can see eyes staring back at me.
In the dark, something is moving. I am afraid, but I am also happy.
I have never been here before, And yet I feel like I have returned.
I am at peace.”
