The adventure guide of Southern Africa aims to help you make sense of all the activity and leisure options waiting just beyond your regular nine-to-five landscape. Some of the adventures are truly wild, while others are tame enough for the whole family - besides, one man's hike is another man's heart attack. With more than a thousand adventures, this guide will keep you busy for a while.

This book provides all the information you will need to ensure a safe and pleasant walk. Chapters deal with how to plan anything from an overnight trail in bedded huts to an expedition requiring you to be more self-sufficient; how to assess your fitness level for the trail you have in mind; respecting the natural environment; equipment requirements; simple navigation and essential first aid; and setting up and maintaining a campsite. Specialist skills and activities, such as fording fasts-flowing rivers, walking in snow and ice, and hiking with dogs are also covered.
This is a wonderful book for hikers, with inspiring photographs and commissioned illustrations to emphasize details or highlight the attractions that the wilderness holds for those who choose to explore it.
