South Africa’s scenic mountain routes offer travellers easy
passages into the rugged splendour of wild and remote areas where
nature reigns supreme. Many still follow ancient animal migration
routes; others are modern engineering masterpieces that challenge
gravity. South Africa’s Favourite Passes & Poorts provides a
detailed guide to more than 80 of the best-loved ones and is packed
with information to enrich readers’ driving experience, from fauna
and flora to the personalities behind the passes. Activities
highlighted in each area include hiking trails, mountain-biking
tracks and 4x4 routes. Each chapter ends with tips on where to eat
and stay, from bush camps and selfcatering cottages to luxury
lodges and hospitable guesthouses. Many passes can be done as
drives or weekend trips en route to some of South Africa’s most
popular holiday destinations; driving others is an adventure in
itself. Full-colour maps assist in travel planning, and the routes
and points of interest are well illustrated with colour
photographs. Marion Whitehead became a passionate pass chaser when
she worked as a tour guide in the Garden Route and Little Karoo. An
author and travel photojournalist now based in the Eastern Cape,
she loves roaming the countryside, driven by a nagging curiosity to
see what’s around the next bend!
