In this truly magnificently illustrated book on South Africa, the talents of the writer and leading photographers are harnessed to provide a window through which visitor and resident alike can view the beautiful face of the country as it passes in a panorama of landscapes, people, cities, towns, flora and fauna. Landscapes are presented as colourful close-ups; busy urban areas contrast with tranquil rural scenes; and magnificent wildlife is shown alongside private game lodges, traditional country inns and other places to stay. The striking photographs show the country at its best and focus on those areas that travellers are most likely to visit.
