About this book

A practical, South African guide to seeing your own country, province by province, and to planning a trip that fits your time, your budget and the people you travel with. Twelve chapters follow a Benoni family of four on their first big holiday, who watch a whale breach from the cliffs, learn the beach flags in Durban, walk a turtle beach at night, turn back below a mountain storm and make it to the Kruger gate on time; a Mitchells Plain couple in their sixties who finally get to Robben Island, chase the spring flowers, visit Soweto and Mapungubwe with a guide, and plan every stop around her walking stick; and a Bloemfontein student who does the Garden Route on a budget, hears both sides of a battlefield's story and watches the stars over the Karoo, with a registered tourist guide from Graaff-Reinet: why see your own country, when to go and how to budget; Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula; the Winelands, the West Coast and Namaqualand; the Garden Route and the Little Karoo; the Great Karoo and the Eastern Cape; Durban and the KwaZulu-Natal coast; the Drakensberg, the Midlands and the battlefields; Johannesburg, Soweto and Pretoria; the Panorama Route and the Kruger; Limpopo, the Free State and North West; the Northern Cape; and planning your own trip, from the route and the bookings to travelling safely and avoiding booking scams. Rules in general terms, with official sources to check. 59 photographs and maps (the photographs of named places are illustrations), worked examples, practice exercises with answers, and a travel file: places I want to see, a season planner, a trip budget, city day, park and heritage site plans, an accessibility checklist, a packing list, a trip plan, South Africa's World Heritage Sites, a glossary, where to get help, and 144 Exam prep questions. A Skills Series title. No hotels, lodges, tour operators or other businesses are named or recommended. Lecturers: a free Facilitator Guide (session plans built around a travel file, teaching notes and every answer) is available to colleges registered with HybridE.
