Great Escapes Africa. The Hotel Book
Good morning, Africa
The best getaways from Morocco to South Africa.
From the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, from the vast Sahara to the Cape Verde archipelago, Africa offers a lifetime of adventures. For newcomers and regular visitors alike, the continent promises 54 extraordinarily diverse countries, creative urban centres, unspoiled night skies and wildlife, and a deep awareness of our shared past.
This visual journey uncovers postcard landscapes, culture and spectacular interiors, all glimpsed through the doors and windows of the continent's most dazzling hotels. Angelika Taschen takes us to hidden gems in Mozambique, South Africa and Ethiopia; to a coffee plantation in Tanzania where the finest arabica is enjoyed amid breathtaking surroundings; to the iconic Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town, painted pink at the end of the First World War; and to the moving Serengeti Safari Camp, little more than a handful of tents that follow the animal migrations all year round.
Each property is presented with crisp photography and practical information: how to get there, contact details and recommended reading for each destination.
Multilingual edition: the texts in this volume are published in English, French and German in the same book.
