Mild to Wild

Southern Africa Adventures & Activities


If you enjoy travelling and adventure, then you are going to love the book Mild to Wild, published by MapStudio. It is the ultimate guide to adventures and activities in South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and the Indian Ocean Islands. Each country has its own chapter listing a quick facts section and the top-ten adventures, which are rated as TO DO, MILD or WILD, depending on intensity. Activities are also grouped in categories of LAND, WATER and AIR adventures, with a brief description about that activity and contact details of companies and tour operators that can assist you in planning your adventure. Beautiful photos on every page give you a taste of what you can look forward. Detailed maps show the location of each activity using icons, which can be cross-referenced to the text entries. Plus, you will also find maps of popular tourist regions featured. In-between all the adventures and activities, there's additional information on all the main sites, national parks and areas. Other useful information you will glean from this guide includes hiking hotspots, areas in a nutshell for quick reference, game-viewing recommendations and must see and do activities. So if you are planning a trip to any one of the countries mentioned, don't leave home without a copy of this very informative and easy-to-read book! •
