I absolutely love the look of some of the high end lodges in Africa. The mix of cultures really blends into a pleasing interior that evokes a strong sense of rustic living and brings a bit of the stunning surroundings of Africa, indoors. Having inspirational interiors whilst abroad actually adds to the whole holiday experience in my opinion.
The old colonial look with dark mahogany, old fashioned luggage trunks and wildlife illustrations is featured in many of the 5 star safari lodges in Africa. As much as I love this look, I actually prefer a subtle mix between colonial and native African.
Batik printed fabrics, woven furniture and animal skulls are often seen in African hotels, using more of the cultural influences of native Africa. I have managed to collect a few different things from my trips over there including textiles, ornaments and even some animal hide rugs.
