This wonderful collection of travel writing captures the very best of Getaway’s articles over the past 21 years of travel, exploration and adventure. It’s a celebration of the diversity of the continent and of the journalists that write about it: from the founding editor, David Steele, to the unforgettable Patrick Wagner; the pens of David Bristow and Don Pinnock; the new guard lead by Justin Fox and Cameron Ewart-Smith; and the journalists who have worked alongside them to offer the readers new insights into the African way of life. From personal accounts of the journeys and their destinations to uncovering the world and the environment in which we live, this book is a superb showcase of the writing that has made Getaway the leading travel magazine in Southern Africa.
The semi-desert inland area of Route 62 and the coastal Overberg offer a mosaic of holiday possibilities. Route 62 is an alternative road between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth through towns and surroundings very different from those of the usual N2 coastal highway. The Overberg, on the other hand, is a compact region of small, rural and coastal towns scattered among rolling farmlands and indigenous fynbos, barely an hour’s drive from Cape Town.
The Garden Route is one of South Africa’s best renowned, favourite holiday and touring destinations for good reason. The region offers an eco-paradise for bird and nature lovers with its temperate climate, endless stretches of pristine beaches and coastline, dense forests with champagne rivers, extensive lakes, valleys, and distinctive folded mountains. And for those looking for something in addition to the magical and breath-taking scenery, there are quaint, country towns, beach resorts, secret coves, long walks, adventure sports, hotels, guest lodges, restaurants and fine dining. But there’s even more, and this informative and up-to-date guide is the key to unlocking all the secret and not-so-secret treasures of the Garden Route.

Does anyone there actually check on the web page and make sure it works or do we just click away like crazy trying to find it and get frustrated???
