African Safari Imports
 

Description

Specializing in merchandise from Africa and the Caribbean, this store offers a vast array of hand-carved figurines, masks and crafts. The large selection of hand-beaten leather ware and incense is probably the first thing most customers notice: the strong odor of both will waft into your nose, undoubtedly, from the moment you enter. A wide selection of compact discs feature the sounds of various native musicians. While your nose and ears are occupied, you may want to feast your eyes on the wide selection of jewelry and clothing.

Why I take yearly trips to chicago...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/17/10
I love this place for many reasons. I used to live down the block many years ago.. and would stop in just to say hello to Paulo, the owner, because he is simply a joy to be around. He has story upon story, all so very interesting. I am in love w/ african culture so I adore everything he has to sell, and the prices are extremely low for the quality. My first purchase @ Paulos store was a silver ring for 15 dollars. I still have it, wearing it everyday, my favorite possession. And it has been through the ringer but looks just as beautiful as the day i bought it. Paulo is also an amazing artist.. so check out his work if you make it in, which i strongly recommend!
