Soms heb je van die boeken waar het heerlijk door heen bladeren is; het water loopt uit de mond bij alle ideeën die voorbij komen. Een ideaal boek voor inspiratie!

Experiential travel has always been at the heart of Rough Guides. For over 30 years, our authors have been sharing travel experiences that inspire readers to push themselves out of their comfort zones and to immerse themselves in a destination's culture and traditions.

Rough Guides' bestselling inspirational coffee-table book draws upon the insider knowledge of in-the-know writers to share the 1000 ultimate travel experiences across the globe. Make the Most of your Time on Earth is a handpicked curation of personal recommendations, from retracing Odysseus's footsteps on Mljet and hippo-spotting in the Bijagós Islands, to wild camping on the Arabian Peninsula and defying gravity at China's Hanging Temple. It might even be something as simple as walking among Hockney's landscapes on the Yorkshire Wolds Way, or eating among locals in the perfect setting: the definitive gelato in Rome or a mopane worm in Zimbabwe. Every one is special, and authentic, and - above all - inspiring.

This fifth edition has been fully revised, with a brand-new design and a collection of high-quality colour photographs spanning beautiful national parks, captivating wildlife and dramatic landscapes. Entries are divided into regions, so you can dip in and out of the different parts of the world you're interested in, whether that's a remote island in the Philippines, a stunning Swedish archipelago or an off-the-beaten-track pocket of Saskatchewan. Lively and engaging text captures the essence of the experience, while essential "Need to Know" sections at the end of each chapter make it easy for you to plan your trip.

Packed full of ideas and take-you-there photography, Make the Most of your Time on Earth is pure escapism for active travellers and armchair fantasists alike.

Wegenkaart van Zuid Afrika met vermelding van veel bezienswaardigheden, nationale parken en attrakties. Watervast en scheurvast. Juist door deze vermeldingen onderscheidt de kaart zich van andere wegenkaarten.

National Geographic’s South Africa Adventure Map is designed to meet the unique needs of adventure travelers—detailed, durable, and accurate. It includes the locations of thousands of major cities and towns with an index for easily locating them, plus a clearly marked road network complete with distances and designations for major highways, limited access highways, and more. Both paved and unpaved roads, tracks, and trails are marked for those adventurers who wish to explore less traveled routes.

What sets National Geographic Adventure Maps apart from traditional road maps are the hundreds of points-of-interest that highlight the diverse, unique, and exotic destinations within South Africa including national parks and reserves, sanctuaries, World Heritage sites, archeological sites, museums, and important travel aids like airports, airfields, rail lines, ferry routes, and lighthouses.

The west side of the South Africa map includes the Northern Cape, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and portions of the North West and Free State provinces. Diverse points of interest are featured including the Western Cape’s wine regions and spas. Along the coast between Cape Town, the legislative capital, and Port Elizabeth, areas for whale watching and shark-cage diving are noted. Johannesburg and neighboring city Pretoria (administrative capital) are included on the east side of the map along with Bloemfontein (judicial capital) and the coastal city of Durban. South Africa’s many national parks, reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries are clearly marked, as are other natural points of interest and scenic viewpoints. Dozens of beaches are noted from the Sunshine Coast to the North Coast for travelers wishing to soak up some sun.

Coverage highlights: Kruger Park, Table Mountain, The Garden Route, Real de Catorce, Soweto, Cradle of Humankind, Sterkfotein Caves, and Blyde River Canyon.
