Getaway Guide to Karoo Namaqualand & Kalahari

By Brent Naude-Moseley and Steve Moseley

 

This is the essential in-your-cubby-hole guide which I’ll definitely be carrying with me when next I visit the Karoo. It’s filled with information about where to stay, what to eat and what to do - and it includes many of the stories and anecdotes that make any place more interesting (I’ll look differently at the Prieska High School if everI have the privilege of visiting there: reading this book taught me that it’s the only high school in the country that “produces funds from an olive orchard planted in its grounds for that very purpose.” Actually, EVERY school should grow something edible, don’t you think?).

 

This is a book for tourists - but it’s also one that I’d recommend you add to your guest house library because it’ll pique the traveller’s interest and make him or her want to visit the country’s heartland - as it has mine. I’ve never been to the Kalahari or Namaqualand. Now I HAVE to see how I can organise a visit there come spring.
