Getaway Guide to Karoo, Namaqualand & KalahariA journey into the heart of this vast region suits the explorer; those souls tired of the humdrum of city routine; those who want to discover random yet fascinating things in way out places, taking detours en route. If you are a traveller rather than a tourist, a participant rather than a spectator, you will get the most out of this guide. Yet the area is so large and diverse that it undoubtedly holds something for everyone. With highlights, interesting facts, tips and tons of contacts, written in an easy-to-read style, this is a must-read. Steve Moseley & Brent Naudé live deep in the Karoo where they have spent the past eight years writing and photographing the region. They have developed a great love and respect for its natural and historical heritage, its people and culture, all of which has nurtured in them country values and a simpler way of life. Their work has appeared in national and international magazines and newspapers. Years of travel and research throughout this region have formed the basis of this book. |
