The particular focus of Marielle Renssen’s second book on off-road routes in Southern Africa, More Back-Road 4x4 Trips, is personal experience: each trip has been personally driven, and the accommodation recommendations tried and tested, with opinions given frankly and honestly. The idea is that other travellers learn from the experience gained by the authors, the roads they expressly chose, those they avoided; what they loved en route, what stuck in their throats; their brilliant moves, their regrettable mistakes. The whole appeal of a 4x4 adventure is to discover and enjoy nature. MapStudio's More back-road 4x4 trips offers those planning a self-drive getaway a nudge in the right direction to better help choose roads to travel on, and ones to avoid. Enjoy day-by-day details of various self-drive 4x4 trips which are well illustrated with maps, GPS checkpoints and great colour images of various locations. Also included are flower, tree and bird lists, as well as information on geology, historical and cultural aspects of the area. A helpful packing list and useful border information is also included to ensure you're fully prepared for your adventure ahead. Now it simply remains for you to programme your GPS, let down your tyres and head for that soft sand of Southern Africa.
