South Africa Handbook by Lizzie Williams
South Africa has more to offer than you could possibly manage in one trip. With vibrant cities, dramatic scenery, a kaleidoscope of cultures, and the 2010 World Cup, it's an exciting place to be. Whether you're searching for the 'Big Five' in Kruger or exploring Cape Town's historic vineyards, there's something to appeal to every taste and budget. From the snowcapped peaks of the Drakensberg to the sweeping emptiness of the Kalahari desert, the 10th edition of Footprint's indispensable guide will help you find everything under the African sun. This title includes: Lesotho and Swaziland; amazing listings for adrenalin junkies - where to go bungy jumping, abseiling, sandboarding, canyoning, treetopping, surfing and so many more; full details on how to make the most of the stunning scenery, including the Wine, Garden and Brandy routes; up-to-the-minute accommodation listings from luxury lodge to homely hostels; and, detailed 32-page full colour wildlife guide. Annually updated - making this the most up-to-date guide available!
