Walk in the Park, A

A Walk in the Park will inspire your next holiday, maybe even change your life.

From the Kalahari to the Limpopo, from Cape Town to Mpumalanga, and from the Free State to the Karoo, this book follows the author’s three-month journey through 14 national parks, as she met passionate people and participated in exciting activities. This is no dry catalogue of the topography and ecology of South Africa’s national parks, no boring list of their facilities. Instead, it’s a dynamic string of experiences, activities and people both directly and tenuously linked to the parks. On the menu are activities, people, cultural heritage and food, peppered with interesting facts and liberally spiced with gentle humour.

This is a delicious book. It evokes things we love about the country around us. it conjures up places that soothe the soul. Its huge fault is that ... well, people are going to read it. And then where will all our best-kept secrets be?
Denis Beckett, author and TV trekker

Be warned! In your hands you’re holding a book that will unleash the adventurer in you. After reading this interesting, funny, but well -researched book, you’ll want to do nothing but start planning your own adventure … Enjoy and go Wild.
