“All good things are wild and free.”

Henry David Thoreau

Fresh, festive décor ideas

This Christmas, we’re steering away from garish red and gold palettes and gaudy smiling Santas (don’t get us wrong, these are fun too) and trying something a little different in the bush. We’ve looked at inspiration from all over the world, and it’s wonderful to see how many foreign style elements work so well in an African setting.

“My own relation to the world of ancient Africa was indeed a kind of love affair: love at first sight and everlasting.”

Ralph Bousfield’s Safari Essentials

Ralph Bousfield went on his first safari at the age of three. Today he guides safaris across Botswana, owns and operates four luxury safari camps, and co-owns Hickman and Bousfield safari outfitters with his stylish other half, Caroline Hickman.

What does an iconic bush legend like this take on safari?

“Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above.”
