About the Author

STEVE MOSELEY and BRENT NAUDÉ-MOSELEY have spent much of the past twenty years traveling, and have notched up thirty five countries on four continents so far. Their travel experiences include climbing the Mountains of the Moon (Ruwenzoris, Uganda) and Adam's Peak (Sri Lanka), diving the Great Barrier Reef, making history by being the first to walk the 460km length of the Karoo's Sak River, and many others. Today much of their travels are closer to home, as they explore the more remote regions of South Africa. Steve and Brent have lived in the tiny picturesque village of Loxton in the heart of the Great Karoo since December 1999. As freelance photo-journalists they have travelled to every corner of the Karoo, Kalahari, and Namaqualand. Their work has appeared in local and overseas publications including Getaway, Africa Geographic, GO!, Sawubona, Horizons, Saturday Star, Travel Africa, and Wanderlust, among others. Steve and Brent own and manage Karoo Images, a photolibrary launched in 2007. It specialises in all aspects of the Great Karoo, Kalahari, Namaqualand, and Little Karoo areas of South Africa. Categories include landscapes, people, culture, fauna and flora, towns, icons, national parks and nature reserves.

This review is from: Getaway Guide Garden Route (Getaway Guides) (Paperback)

GetawayGuide Garden Route by Brent Naude-Moseley & Steve Moseley is another beautiful guide from GetawayGuide Books, this one of the most popular and one of the most scenic routes in South Africa, which follows the N2 along the Indian Ocean Coast and northward through Outeniqua Mountains, along Mossel Bay to George, from Gouritsmond to Storms River Mouth. The book is divided into twelve chapters, the first three which give practical information about facts, highlights, and how to handle various situations there. There is a chapter detailing the most important six hiking trails. The remaining chapters 5 - 12 are by regions: Mossel Bay, George, the wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, and Tsitsikamma. The photographs are exquisite on the slick pages and the book is a convenient size for your backpack or car glove compartment. This book is beautiful and complete and perfect guide while you are planning or there and memoir for later.
