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.

High Tea Hideaways_ Ngala Safari Lodge

Our top 10 High Tea hideaways

Whether it’s sweets or savouries, carrot cake or koeksisters, some of Africa’s safari lodges have a knack for putting on the most delicious high tea spreads in the wildest locations. If you love high tea is much as we do, you’ll want to know which lodges do it best.

“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.”

I dreamed of Africa

“So lovely, as if the contemplations of it could itself be enough to make you happy all your life.”
