Exploring South Africa

Exploring South Africa's spectacular coastline between Cape Town in the south and Durban in the north-east, this book features the huge variety of places, beauty spots, attractions, national parks and nature reserves that make this a must-visit destination.Exploring South Africa – a Coastal Odyssey is a great introduction to a wonderful travel destination. This first volume covers the coastline from Cape Town to Durban and includes the famed Garden Route. There is so much to see and do along this coast that you may never get to explore inland areas - but you can always come back another time for that. The guide is written in a chatty, informative style with lots of information about the places along this 1,000 mile coast. As with other EZE Travel titles you won't find details of accommodation – the internet is a far better search mechanism to find the right hotel for you. Likewise there are no out of date lists of bars and restaurants – there are so many to choose from that it would be invidious to list just a few. Contributors include local municipalities and their tourist offices as well as South Africans who actually use this area as part of their playground - so it is full of reliable, useful and authoritative information. This guide doesn't just cover the well known places but explores the Klein Karoo with its ostrich farms, winelands and Cango Caves as well as other lesser known areas along the route. Altogether it is a great introduction to a truly stupendous travel destination.
