Legend to Maps
The book covers 17 of the most popular
tourist routes in South Africa. Each route
features the must-see attractions, as well as
other worthwhile places to visit and things to
see. The recommended amount of time to
spend at each attraction is listed with each
heading. We list both the least amount of
time you may need, and the time you should
ideally allocate to get the most out of your
visit.
An overview of all the attractions is found at
the beginning of each chapter. For example,
chapter 1, Cape Town and the Peninsula, has
7 Big Attractions, and 17 Other Attractions,
labelled AQ, making it easy to fnd the
location on the corresponding maps.
An alphabetical list of all attractions can be
found in the Quickfnder on pages 49. Here
you can tick off the sites as you visit them.

known for its alluvial diamonds, the West Coast is also
undeniably fshing country. The little fsher villages
that dot the rugged terrain of the coastal route
northwest of Cape Town boast a charm that seems
to set them squarely in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Infrastructure is limited, tourists relatively scarce and
the region has a distinct rural feel to it. Small towns
and villages that typify the kind of laid-back exist-
ence of the West Coast are Saldanha, Langebaan,
Darling, Hopefeld and Paternoster. And each of
these quaint destinations is worth a visit, even if its
simply for an opportunity to sit back, shrug off the
dust of the big city and sample the outstanding sea-
food for which the region is so celebrated.
The landscape of fynbos and beach skirts the waters
of the Atlantic Ocean, and quite apart from its
magnifcent foral heritage supports an abundance
of indigenous wildlife. An added attraction to the
area is its rich birdlife, which lures birders from all over
the world. Prolifc water sources mean that the most
common species are the water birds, such as peli-
cans, famingos and gannets.
The West Coast and the inland strip immediately
adjacent to the shoreline, known as the Sandveld,
form part of what is known as the Cape Floral King-
dom, a unique biome that consists of more than
1,000 fowering species, with no fewer than 80 plants
specifc to this corner of the world. The region may
be divided into sandveld (best known for its salvias),
renosterveld and fynbos, and plants vary from tubers
and bulbs to legumes and herbal varieties such as
buchu. The most prolifc vegetation type around vil-
lages such as Paternoster (and its Columbine Nature
Reserve) is the shrub-like fynbos, which comprises
delicate ericas, reed-like restios and grand proteas.
