Six routes, six authors

Nine days from Cape Town to Prince Albert on the back roads Pieter grew up on.

Seven days of tracking on foot and by vehicle with a former field ranger.

Six days on the Cape Peninsula: mountains, penguins, cellar doors and cold swims.

Red dunes by day, then a telescope and the darkest sky you’ll ever sleep under.

Eight days chasing the spring bloom north, timed to its second week.

Ten days walking green headlands and empty beaches, village to village.
