    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Coffee Table Book!

    I absolutely love this book! It makes for the perfect coffee table addition—big enough to make a statement, but not too bulky. It adds such a stylish touch to any space.

    I’ve received so many compliments on it that I’ve decided to give it away as a gift—I just know others will love it as much as I do. If you’re looking for something that’s both beautiful and practical, this book is a must-have!

  • Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023
    The French photographer Aline Coquelle traveled with a travel operator that provides the highest-end luxury safaris in private jets to four iconic African safari destinations - Okavango delta in Botswana , the Masai Mara in Kenya, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Volcanoes ( Mountain Gorillas) & Nyungwe ( Chimps) parks in Rwanda. Stunning photographs and insightful writing, featuring wildlife and the luxury lodges in each of these destinations and also showcasing local designers and their work in each of these countries.
    Removed one star as there is no description of about half of the pictures in the book and the reader has to assume they somewhere are in the locations in the specific country/ parks highlighted.
    Overall a beautiful coffee table book with Assouline’s usual excellent quality printing/ binding. Anyone who likes African safari’s and has interest in local designers and their creations will enjoy this book.
