A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Based in Cape Town, James Bainbridge has travelled the length and breadth of South Africa for guidebooks and magazine assignments. He first visited the country in 2008 : since then he has met a lovely Capetonian lady, moved to the Cape from London and got married on an organic wine farm. While researching this book, the Northern Cape's wildernesses and North-West Province's wildlife parks were a revelation for James - he loved the sense of space and freedom in the Karoo, Kalahari and Namakwa. When he's not sloping around the Winelands, James contributes to other Lonely Planet guides, including Turkey and Morocco. Kate was bitten by the African bug when she lived in Mozambique, and returns frequently to Southern Africa. For this edition she tackled the region solo in her 2WD hatchback. Memorable moments include her 'altercation' with a bull elephant, her first sip of Marula brew, and learning, while on an isolated pass, that it's still possible to lock one's keys in a car. Kate loves the Zulu culture (plus leopards, and giraffes). She is continually humbled by the generosity of the local people. Since she first visited South Africa in 2002, Lucy Corne has heen hooked and has returned on six occasions, spending time in more than 200 towns across the country. Despite having explored the Western Cape in depth before, she still managed a few firsts while researching this guide, including the vertiginous trip to Die Hel, discovering the delectable pinot noirs of Elgin and finding the offbeat Western Cape in the mission villages of Wupperthal, Elim and Genadendal. Lucy currently lives in Cape Town where she writes on travel and beer.
