Description

From the Kalahari to the Limpopo, from Cape Town to Mpumalanga, and from the Free State to the Karoo, it follows the author’s journey through 14 national parks, meeting passionate people and participating 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.

Company description

Roxanne Reid is an award winning freelance writer and editor. She completed her BA Honours in English at the University of the Witwatersrand, her Honours in History through Unisa and short courses in journalism and creative writing at Stellenbosch and Cape Town universities. She was the editor of a food industry journal for a decade and won more than a dozen SPA Pica Awards for journalism and editing.
Then her real life began and for the last nine years she has worked as a freelance book editor, health and travel writer, writing about stunning places like Namibia, Kalahari and Botswana. She is happiest in the middle of nowhere, beyond reach of cell phones, meeting the locals, trying something she’s never done before, or simply watching the grass grow.
