Download or read book Exploring South Africa written by Marian Elsden and published by Modus Associates Limited. This book was released on 2009 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extra-special eBook 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 pleasing, informative style with masses of information about the places along this 1,500 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 hotels for you. Likewise there are no out-of-date lists of bars and restaurants – in reallity, there are so many to choose from that it would be invidious to list just a few. It is however full of information on places to visit, things to see and do - from sky-diving to whale-watching and much, much more! 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. Each attraction listed includes images and location maps which show clearly which other sights or places are located in the immediate vicinity - together with details on nearest Tube stations and, where appropriate, attraction opening times and dates.All in all, a very worthwhile publication.
