Průvodce krásami Jižní Afriky. Jihoafrická republika neboli „Země duhového národa“ se označuje jako celý svět v jedné zemi. Charakterizuje ji neuvěřitelně rozmanitá scenerie od nádherných lesů po strhující pobřeží a životem pulzující města. Představuje také zemi s jedenácti úředními jazyky a mnohotvárnou kulturou. Navštivte Kapské město, Stolovou horu, kapskou riviéru a vinice, Krugerův národní park, kaňon řeky Blyde, pobřeží Střelkového mysu či Dračí hory. Podívat se můžete i do nezávislé země Lesotho, hornatého útočiště samosprávného kmene Sothů, nebo do království Svazijsko.

This is an account of their momentous 4,000-mile, two-month adventure across seven states: from Denver, Colorado, to Mammoth Lakes, California. They have been from 11,000 ft to minus 200 ft, from 25°F to 109°F. An unforgettable journey where each park impossibly managed to outshine the next.
