A handbook to South Africa that gives insight into the many national treasures that line our highways and byways ranging from vibrant cities to charming country towns and one-horse dorps steeped in history. Suitable for a road trip, it offers advice on the best routes, and contains what holidaymakers need to know when planning their next vacation.
"South Africa by Road: A Regional Guide" is more than a mere travel guide; it is a comprehensive handbook to the country, giving insight into the many national treasures that line our highways and byways - from vibrant cities to charming country towns and one-horse dorps steeped in history. The ultimate companion for any road trip, it offers sound advice on the best routes, and contains all that holidaymakers need to know when planning their next vacation. Full-colour photographs and an interesting mix of side panels will inspire travellers to take to the tarred and gravel roads of South Africa, and explore the many absorbing nooks and crannies of our extraordinarily diverse country. Each chapter gives an overview of a region's climate, flora and fauna, and history and heritage, and highlights the most noteworthy places. Ideas for what to do in each location are outlined, as are key activities, routes and trails. From hot-air ballooning to white-water rafting, 4X4 trails to strolls in the countryside, spelunking to visiting museums, and festivals to architecture, there is something for everyone.
Customised full-colour maps in each of the 29 chapters show national, secondary and dirt roads, toll roads, passes, game reserves, national parks and nature reserves, as well as places of interest to help you plan your journey. A separate 46-page road guide and 12 town plans complete the useful cartographic section.
