Bradt Guides team up with To Escape To

We were over the moon to be asked to contribute towards the latest Bradt Guide ‘South Africa Highlights’. The new highlights range packs the highlights of one destination in 300 pages and is not afraid to look off the beaten track. South Africa has one of the world’s most diverse tourist offerings. Attractions range from stately Cape Town with majestic Table Mountain, to the scenic winelands around Stellenbosch and the world-renowned Kruger National Park and adjacent private reserves. With hundreds of different national parks and reserves, Africa’s longest coastline and several of the region’s oldest and most vibrant towns, visitors are often dazzled and confused by the array of options. This compact Highlights guide, written by South African resident and travel expert Philip Briggs, focuses on the genuine ‘must-see’ sights, and places to stay.

Here are the places chosen to feature in the guide book and a great starting point for anyone planning a trip to South Africa as it really does focus on the best places to stay in each region.
