The Bradt Guide to South Africa was the first to be published after the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, and this edition reflects the widespread changes that have occurred in the last two years while retaining its emphasis on game reserves and wilderness areas. Renowned Africa expert Philip Briggs's guide is selective in its approach, with the author in the role of informed and personal companion. Suggested itineraries guide the visitor through the country's almost bewildering array of attractions, and realistic advice on areas to avoid is included. The author's engaging style and selective approach, plus emphasis on wildlife and nature are the hallmarks of this guide.
