Description

This work takes the reader on a panoramic journey of discovery through the enigmatic, varied and beautiful land of South Africa - through the historic Cape winelands, the vast Karoo, the urban crush of Johannesburg, the cane fields of KwaZulu-Natal and the great Kruger National Park. Broad in its scope, yet full of detail, this guide is a visual essay on the country, its people and its many different cultures. Over 250 full-colour photographs are complemented by text that both establishes a historical perspective and offers insight into the realities of a country moving hesitantly, but with great hope, into the future.
