Frommer's South Africa

You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us! This exciting addition to the Frommer series, much more in depth than its major competitor, offers candid, comprehensive coverage of one of Africa's most vibrant destinations. Our guide is written by a local journalist who has lived in South Africa all her life; she knows the country intimately, and she makes it easy for you to discover its natural wonders. We'll take you to Cape Town, one of the most beautiful cities on earth, before heading off to fabulous beaches (where you can spot whales and penguins!) and the spectacular Garden Route. Look, too, for coverage of South Africa's renowned wineries, with tips from a local wine author and expert. Then it's off to Kruger National Park, plus the best private game parks, with practical advice on arranging the safari trip of a lifetime. Also included are side trips to Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls and Botswana's Okavango Delta, one of the continent's most thrilling safari destinations.De Bruyn, Pippa is the author of 'Frommer's South Africa', published 2002 under ISBN 9780764515347 and ISBN 0764515349.
