Somalia was a very well known key hideout for key leaders of al-Qaeda in the Horn. When the Islamic Courts took over, they immediately put in a place a quasi-Taliban like regime. Now that was also not started...
...thread count of 1,200 isn't enough. So Case and other hotel developers are trying to create a new model for luxury. Unlike the typical, walled-off resort, Cacique's hotel rooms and vacation homes will surround an authentic village where locals will both live and work. Tanzania's Singita Grumeti Sasakwa Hill Lodge reimagines African safaris by housing guests in a $3,000-a-night colonial-style English manor after their long days on the Serengeti Plain spying lions and cheetahs...
