TRAVEL GUIDES

Southbound Travel & eco titles

Welcome to the SOUTHBOUND Imprint, which has been specifically launched to capture and celebrate our southern African resources—our cultural and ecological heritage. With the launch in October 2006 of the World Heritage Sites of South Africa series, seven colourful, compact pocket guides with all you need to know on the sites, we took a decision that our heritage is so unique, so diverse, and so special that it warranted an imprint of its own.

And already the imprint is growing, with some exciting titles lined up , including The Baobab Book, a glossy pictorial coffee-table production that traces the anatomy and history, the myths, and uses of this legendary giant. Also coming is A Field Guide to the Waterberg, a comprehensive guide book being developed in conjunction with the Field Guides Association of South Africa; and A Novice’s Guide to Kilimanjaro, a collaborative effort between climbers and safari operators.
