Africaall around us
20. Dezember 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Upon first glance, Bibi Jordan's "Safari Chic" looks like a handsome, pretty-picture, coffee table, book that is ... just that; it looks good on an Ottoman in one's living room. Only, I have those types of books and was not prepared to buy another, hence my hesitation. But Africa is much more than an interest for me and so naturally I began to thumb through and shortly afterwards, lose myself in it.
The preface by Peter Beard - Mr. Africa himself - sets the tone for the unfolding of a modern day journey. Miss Jordan's safari takes us to those breathtaking sceneries where man is as much a part of nature as the elephants, hippo and lion. In doing so, she introduces us to the men and women who live in "the bush". These characters, some of whose families have been safari outfitters in Africa for 90 years, make up the real fabric of what Africa is about. In telling their story, we learn that safari is a way of life. Each camp has its own unique history. By understanding these people and how they live in harmony with their fellow Africans and wildlife, we are able to grasp the complete picture.
Miss Jordan weaves these fascinating personalities together into a wonderful narrative. Inspirational quotes from Karen Blixen, Ernest Hemingway, and others, and - yes, great pictures, make for an enticing read.
This book makes Africa real and for me, timeless. It makes you want to go there, and bring a piece of it back with you. The last chapter offers some excellent and affordable tips to decorating `safari chic'. Popular stores like Pier One and The Pottery Barn can bring Africa to your fingertips.
As mentioned, many other African safari books are dictated by form and fashion above substance. "Safari Chic" is more than a decorating style; it's a frame of mind. From all of the famous quotes Miss Jordan uses, this one perhaps, sums it up best.
"All things considered, there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who stay at home and those who do not. The second are most interesting."
- Rudyard Kipling

Safari Chic is Chic
20. Dezember 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Bibi Jordan has managed to capture the true spirit of adventure in her new book Safari Chic. Not only do the wild exteriors and the mannered interiors inspire one to redecorate their physical surroundings but they resonate with the kindling spirit of rejuvenation and imagination. This is a traveler's delight as well. More books Bibi, more!

Gotta Go on and Live Safari
8. November 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
After reading this fascinating book, I have put Safari on top of my list of "travel musts." I am excited to go to Africa and equally excited about living with Africa in my daily life. I'm planning a shopping expedition soon, to create the African Safari feel in my home, as Bibi Jordan has shown in her colorful book. If Bibi cannot motivate the excitement of Safari in her readers, nobody can. I had the recent pleasure of seeing her Safari slides and listening to her speak about her book. Her knowledge, background and creativity are impressive--her enthusiam is contagious.
