WALL MAP
Our AFRICA WALL MAP is printed at a scale of 1:4million and laminated on both sides. The dimensions are 1300 x 980 mm.
The map coverage includes countries from South Africa in the south to Ethiopia in the east and Gabon in the west.
Printed in full colour, all major and secondary roads are shown with national parks and country borders clearly visible and provides a surprising amount of detail to the self-drive traveller. The map also shows towns and a good number of tracks in remote areas. Major tourist attractions are indicated where space allows for it. International airports and country borders suitable for vehicle crossings are also indicated.
The map is perfect for macro planning of extended road trips across the African continent up to Ethiopia and Gabon, or to hang at home and mark all your past adventures!

SELF-DRIVE GUIDE BOOKS
The format has changed from A5 to A4, the content has been fully revised, and a few extras have been added including suggested itineraries and a new atlas section featuring detailed maps of each country.
These books are the combined experiences of a whole community of travellers and are specifically aimed at self-drive travellers. If you are a self-drive tourist, there are five things that you need to know when you are on the road: where to sleep, where to get fuel, what to see and do, where to buy supplies, and where to go in case of an emergency.
Content covered in these books includes: general information about each country; safety and precaution; trip planning; navigation; preparing your vehicle for overland travel; communication; border post red tape; veterinary fences; health; pitfalls to renting a 4x4 with camping equipment; things you should not go without.
