Description
Real Travel, Real Experiences
Unlike many travel guides written from one person’s perspective, Tracks4Africa guidebooks draw on the shared knowledge of an entire community of adventurers. Moreover, the T4A community explores Africa extensively—not in luxury buses, but on their own wheels. Whether they journey solo or travel in groups, they move by motorbike, sedan, or 4WD. Consequently, these guides serve as the perfect resource for self-drive travellers who want authentic, road-tested advice.
The Essentials for Every Self-Drive Traveller
On the road, you need practical answers fast. That’s why the guide covers the five essentials:
- Where to sleep.
- Where to get fuel.
- What to see and do.
- Where to buy supplies.
- Where to go in case of an emergency.
What’s New in the Third Edition?
The entire book has been revised and updated: from the maps, text content, listings to the Atlas pages and photos!
Trip Planning Made Easy
The guide still features two suggested itineraries for first-time visitors, complete with maps and descriptions. Seasoned travellers can still rely on detailed destination information to plan custom DIY trips.
Updated Accommodation and Camping
We have checked and updated all listings to include the latest facilities and contact details. Moreover, if a campsite or lodge could not be verified, we removed it to ensure accuracy. However, for community campsites, we added notes where updates were not possible—giving you the chance to explore them yourself.
