Its various landscapes embrace two of South Africas World Heritage Sites - the magnificent uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park and the unique estuarine system of The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Traditional home of the Zulu people, KwaZulu-Natal is widely known as the Kingdom of the Zulu. Many of its towns and rivers boast historical Zulu names and at its heart is the vibrant city of Durban or eThekweni. The South and North Coasts, famous for their sweeping white beaches, lagoons, tidal pools and holiday towns, stretch out on either side of KwaZulu-Natals leisure capital. Further north lies the fabulous Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, an incredible diverse habitat of pristine beaches, swamps, freshwater lakes, undulating grasslands, forests and bushveld. Then there is the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park, founded in 1895, it is the largest game reserve in the province and one of the oldest in Africa. KwaZulu-Natal also saw a series of bloody battles which left it littered with the bodies of proud Zulu warriors, Boer commandos and British soldiers who lost their lives fighting in the area. The rolling hills of the Midlands offer spectacular views of lush green fields, big skies, picturesque farm houses and peacefully grazing cattle and is home to the very popular arts and crafts route, the Midlands Meander. Finally, the high basalt crags and peaks of the massive Drakensberg Mountains soar to an incredible 3,482 metres. Its sandstone base eroded over millennia formed countless caves and overhangs, some of which provided shelter for South Africas original inhabitants, the Bushmen or San. Through the centuries these early people left behind a priceless legacy of rock art, a visual documentary of their lifestyle, beliefs and ceremonies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49527634166033,"sku":"GOR003255177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49615346073873,"sku":"GOR009765973","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1919938419.jpg?v=1751093705"},{"product_id":"big-cats-of-mala-mala-book-roger-de-la-harpe-9780624038931","title":"Big Cats of Mala Mala","description":"Large cats are some of the most fascinating carnivores in Africa, and there is probably no better place to observe these magnificent creatures than Mala Mala, a reserve bordering the Kruger Park, and generally considered one of the top game reserves in Africa. Roger De la Harpe has spent months following and photographing the various families and species of cat to be found there, from the magnificent social lion and solitary but deadly leopard, to the fleet-footed cheetah. Roger's love of these wild cats comes through in the stunning photography, and in the chatty and very informative text, which details Mala Mala's hunting and conservation background in the lowveld, and provides a fascinating look at African folklore surrounding the cats. Also included is a profile of each species as well as some very interesting points on some of the individuals and families he photographed at Mala Mala. This book will appeal to anyone with a passing interest in wildlife, particularly those interested in African cats, both local and tourist alike. Definitely not your average pretty picture book -- there are shots that have to be seen to be believed. A lion cub eating a buffalo from the inside, cheetah attacking a full grown hyena and lots more besides!","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559880827153,"sku":"GOR003783152","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51080566538513,"sku":"CIN0624038939G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0624038939.jpg?v=1750977433"},{"product_id":"top-touring-spots-in-south-africa-book-roger-de-la-harpe-9781919938349","title":"Top Touring Spots in South Africa","description":"This book illuminates renowned tourist hot-spots such as the Kruger National Park and the lovely Cape Winelands together with, in the words of the photographer, 'some destinations that are not included in the average tourist itinerary, with opportunities to see and feel the unusual, the different, and the quirky.'

Here are the splendid mountains of the Mpumalanga highlands and the lofty Drakensberg, the game-rich plains of the Eastern Lowveld and Maputaland, the wild Transkei and the gentler Southern Coasts, the rugged heights of the Cederberg and the lonely deserts of the Western regions.

And, herein lies southern Africa's most promising contribution. Together, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique have made the most of their spectacular scenery, the indigenous wildlife and the warm hospitality of their people. The enormous range of their wild spaces and natural habitats, from coastal wetlands and bush landscape to mountains and even desert sands, means that there is an equally varied flora and fauna. Birds abound in every form, their mammals include the largest, the smallest and certainly in the case of the Big Five, for example, the most impressive. Yet, it is the people of southern Africa - in every face, on every city street and in every dusty village - who are the true reflection of Africa.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631978127633,"sku":"GOR003377924","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1919938192.jpg?v=1751123981"},{"product_id":"zimbabwe-book-roger-de-la-harpe-9781868722099","title":"Zimbabwe","description":"This text captures the essence of this beautiful country, depicting its diverse and spectacular scenery, its abundant bird- and wildlife, and its fascinating history.

Part of the Canidae family, and sharing a general similarity with the various canids world-wide, the African wild dog differs fundamentally from other canids: it belongs to the genus, Lycaon, which formed a new branch on the family tree some 3 million years back and subsequently evolved independently. Today it is the only survivor of this unique line and, because of its genetic difference, is unable to interbreed with any of its canid relatives or even with the domestic dog. Previously found in diverse habitats across the continent, it has tragically disappeared from much of its former range. Today there are only an estimated 3 000 to 5 500 wild dogs left in the whole of Africa, a mere 500 of which occur in South Africa. This is a stunningly photographed and well-documented tribute to these rare and endangered animals, covering their history, biology, distribution, habitat, and breeding and release programmes. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the elusive nature of the wild dogs and their limited population numbers, Roger and Pat have produced their best book yet.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49798067421457,"sku":"CIN1919938117G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51549639213329,"sku":"GOR007341611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1919938117.jpg?v=1751093703"},{"product_id":"africa-s-big-five-book-roger-de-la-harpe-9780624039716","title":"Africa's Big Five","description":"Lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant have for centuries been heralded as the Big Five, not, as one would assume, in order to lure visitors to the continent's conservation areas, but because in the hunting era of days gone by, these animals were considered to be the most difficult and dangerous of Africa's 'trophy' species. Today, however, there is no denying that they are collectively the continent's most effective magnet for tourism. And with good reason. The majestic and sociable lion and the stealthy and solitary leopard are the most handsome of Africa's 10 cat species. Rhinos -- in particular the black rhino -- have been hunted almost to extinction for their impressive horns, but through careful conservation efforts, they have staged a remarkable recovery. The hefty buffalo, alone an irascible beast, yet docile and calm in a herd, has a presence all its own. And the elephant, the epitome of Africa, is well known not only for its size, but for its fiercely protective matriarchs, which put the human animal to shame. These then are Africa's Big Five, and here they are portrayed in their natural surroundings in various locations across the continent -- at leisure and on the hunt, in family groups and alone -- in a series of magnificent photographs, complemented by colourful and informative text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52969448538385,"sku":"GOR003335031","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53029541183761,"sku":"GOR004927850","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780624039716.jpg?v=1766564469"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-roger-de-la-harpe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
