cape town & garden route : Southern Africa

On waterproof stone paper, Scale: 1:10,000/1:1,350,000 Lan and I travelled South Africa's southern coastal route, known as the Garden Route a few years ago and found it fascinating. Shutdowns during the Covid upsurges in 2020 allowed Lan enough time to concentrate on producing an excellent map of Cape Town on tear-resistant Stone paper, covering the city in excellent detail, and a second full-sized map on the reverse side covering that portion of the country known as Cape Province; essentially, from Cape Town north to the Namibian border, east to the Transkei, and north to Potchefstroom. This encompasses the wine districts of Stellenbosch, the lovely towns of George and Knysna on the south coast, historic Port Elizabeth, the very interesting Transkei homeland, all of Lesotho, and the arid interior regions that resonate with history - Graaff Reinet, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, and Upington. One not-to-be-missed experience is Addo Elephant Park; another is Grahamstown; still another is Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of land in Africa. An excellent and much-needed travel map!
