Fodor's Essential South Africa: with The Best Safari Destinations (Travel Guide) Paperback – March 27, 2018
Written by local experts, Fodor's travel guides have been offering advice and professionally vetted recommendations for all tastes and budgets for 80 years.
Everything about Africa that stirs the imagination is concentrated in its southernmost country. Lions freely roam vast game reserves such as Kruger National Park; vineyards stretch across the Cape Winelands; and mountains cascade into the sea along miles of beaches. In addition to dream safaris and romantic honeymoons, South Africa offers modern cities with thriving arts and dining scenes. South Africans are welcoming, and the country’s emergence from a turbulent past provides a dramatic history lesson and the promise of something new every time you visit.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020It is not clear when I'll go, but this book has prepared me for that eventuality in seeing the beautiful nation at the bottom of Africa. It has very explanatory paragraphs and practical advice. I only wish it had embedded photos in order to see what it is discussing
