Description
Find your own journey. From coasts and major cities to wildlife and inland landscapes: this guide provides a broad starting point for a journey in South Africa, Lesotho, and Eswatini. Find the experiences that appeal most and see how they can be part of a cohesive trip.
Experiences and content. Lonely Planet highlights Kruger National Park and the Cape region, with coverage also including Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal, Johannesburg, the Eastern Cape, and the Northern Cape. Maps, itineraries, and background on history, culture, and food provide multiple entry points to the region. Lesotho and Eswatini are included in the same book, allowing you to consider them alongside the South African stages.
Who is this book suitable for? Choose this when you want a broad regional guide and wish to compare several types of experiences before deciding on your route. It provides a good starting point for determining where you want to spend the most time and which detours suit your journey.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A trip with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you want time to experience.
A physical book is also nice to return to during the planning process. Bring it out when discussing the next stage, find an idea you had noted, and let the plan develop as you become more familiar with the possibilities.
