Blacks Do Caravan tells the story of a young South African family’s caravan journey, and the everlasting memories created along the way included amazing adventures and wonderful experiences. The book aims to inspire South Africans to take time out of their busy schedules and spend that valuable time with their families to discover the beauty of our country.
Fikile’s trip began on 15 September 2014 and during the journey she came to the realisation that South Africa is still a divided nation. Over twenty years into democracy, boundaries still divide us. Fikile aims to break those boundaries created by the past regime and contribute to the unity that is needed for all South Africans to move forward and experience this country equally. What better way to do it than caravanning?
Fikile and her family visited over 60 caravan parks and extended their travels to the Kingdom of Swaziland, which became an eye opening, mind changing trip of a lifetime.

The real stories behind the scenery of America's national parks For
twelve years, Andrea Lankford lived in the biggest, most impressive
national parks in the world, working a job she loved. She
chaperoned baby sea turtles on their journey to sea. She pursued
bad guys on her galloping patrol horse. She jumped into rescue
helicopters bound for the heart of the Grand Canyon. She won
arguments with bears. She slept with a few too many rattlesnakes.
Hell yeah, it was the best job in the world Fortunately, Andrea
survived it. In this graphic and yet surprisingly funny account of
her and others' extraordinary careers, Lankford unveils a world in
which park rangers struggle to maintain their idealism in the face
of death, disillusionment, and the loss of a comrade killed while
holding that thin green line between protecting the park from the
people, the people from the park, and the people from each other.
Ranger Confidential is the story behind the scenery of the nation's
crown jewels--Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Great Smokies,
Denali. In these iconic landscapes, where nature and humanity
constantly collide, scenery can be as cruel as it is redemptive.
Nothing is more rewarding than taking the family on a camping trip,
spending quality time together and enjoying the wonders of mother
nature. This handy guide will assist you in choosing your
destination, be it a star-rated beach resort or a remote bush camp.
Sites are listed by province, with colour-coding for easy
reference. Each entry contains a brief description of the site, the
type of resort, the price range, and symbols showing the facilities
available, as well as the tourism grading council rating, where
applicable. Full contact details and GPS co-ordinates are supplied.

In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J.
Yochim "was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other
times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion
for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it,"
writes foreword contributor William R. Lowry. In 2013 Yochim was
diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While fighting the
disease, he wrote Requiem for America's Best Idea. The book
establishes a unique parallel between Yochim's personal struggle
with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on
the national parks--the treasured wilderness that he loved and to
which he dedicated his life. Yochim explains how climate change is
already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural
conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and
Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work,
Requiem for America's Best Idea investigates the interactions
between people and nature and the world that can inspire and
destroy them.
Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through
sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget
the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life
slowly. It's about taking the time to enjoy journeys and places for
their own sake. It's about stopping and putting the kettle on.
Stopping to take a picture. Stopping to enjoy stopping. How are you
going to do it? In a camper van or a motorhome, of course. In this
book we define the best driving routes around Scotland for camper
vans and motorhomes. We show you the coolest places to stay, what
to see, what to do and explain why it's special. We meander around
the highlands, lowlands and islands of Scotland on the most
breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along
the coast. We show you stuff that's fun, often free. We include the
best drives for different kinds of drivers; for surfers, wildlife
watchers, climbers and walkers. We include the steepest, the
bendiest, those with the most interesting bridges or views or
obstacles, ferries and tidal causeways. And you don't even have to
own a camper van or motorhome - we'll tell you the many places you
can rent one to take you on the journey. All of this is
interspersed with beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel
writing from the king of camper vans and motorhomes, Martin Dorey.
So if all you want to do is flick through it on a cold day and plan
your next outing, you'll be transported (albeit slowly) to
pastures, beaches, mountains and highways that make you want to
turn the key and go, go, go! We'll take you to see Scotland the
slow way. The way it should be seen.

England and Wales might feel familiar to many, but there are
countless hidden idylls and remote wildernesses to discover amongst
the soaring passes, spectacular coastlines and boundless moorlands.
For many, Martin's 'slow road' routes will have opened up the
country's most well known highways and byways, but there is so much
more to England and Wales than these, at times overcrowded,
hotspots. This book is the next, natural step in Martin's
wanderings around England and Wales. If Take The Slow Road whetted
the appetite for a Great British adventure, this book will be the
main course, filling you up with inspiring writing and beautiful
imagery from the most remote and wild corners of England and Wales.
It will take you to the very edges of the map, on a series of
personal journeys to uncover parts of these countries that the
masses never reach but wish they could. In discovering these secret
and beautiful places this fabulous book shows the reader that, with
a little imagination, and some effort, they too can get off the
beaten track in their own country.

Poets Karla K. Morton and Alan Birkelbach began this journey to
celebrate our national parks' 100th anniversary, but for these two
poets the sojourns quickly became something greater than that. In
their words, 'As humans we have this tendency to look at a piece of
land and see real estate. [But] when concrete covers all our
natural spaces, not only do we lose earth's creatures, we also lose
the great teacher of our souls. You cannot sit beneath trees taller
than the Statue of Liberty, or gaze upon vistas untouched since
their creation, without feeling the awe and wonder of what the
natural world has to offer. You cannot experience such beauty
without being wholly changed. Our great-great-great-grandchildren
deserve these untouched gifts'.This journey, illustrated with
gorgeous colour photos of all of America's grand national parks, is
a feast for the eyes and heart. In the end, it is a plea for us to
save these wonders for all future generations.
