Many of the modern passes in South Africa still follow ancient animal migration routes; others are engineering masterpieces that challenge gravity. All take travelers deep into rugged and wild terrain where nature reigns supreme. Passes & Poorts South Africa provides a detailed guide to the most scenic areas and is packed with information to enrich both the driving and the armchair traveling experience, from fauna and flora to the personalities behind the passes.
