South Africa Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3204)

Just returned from South Africa where we used this map. Despite also having GPS and all the electronic directional info with us, it was REALLY nice to be able to see on the map where we were driving and other possibilities in the area. It is not the most current map but I think the roads don't change much so we had no issue with it not being accurate. Enjoyed having it with us. Also easy to fold into smaller sections and no sign of ripping or wear.

We went back to SA for our second trip but decided to drive ourselves in a rental. Not knowing the availability of signal and connectivity we decided to have a paper map backup. This is very helpful for any person going to SA and wants to have an answer for navigation in case you lose signal. A must have for any traveler.

This map is big enough that it is easy to read, but folds up to a compact size small enough to fit into a backpack pouch. The map is male of weather resistant material which is perfect for Africa this time of year.

a quality map

Just what I needed for our upcoming trip.

Best coverage of road net. Map is made of a coated material that stands up to three weeks of constant folding and unfolding with no sign of wear. It is waterproof for sure as I spilled drinks on it twice. This map is critical for trip planning and "on the run" re-scheduling of your route when you hit (and you WILL!) the 9th unacceptable road construction delay of the day. Combine this with a Tom-Tom GPS unit and you will be able to cruise the entire country with no location problems. The big plus is the extensive coverage of natural and cultural features and game parks and reserves that you might otherwise miss on your drive.

I chose this map for a 3 week land tour of South Africa. It was great to track where we were going each day and gave me an overall concept of the country. I would recommend it for anyone going on such a trip. Others on the tour borrowed it several times for their own reference.

Don't know how I would do my trip planning without this big foldout map. While it is not plasticized it is strong enough to deal with folding and unfolding. Easy to read text. Very satisifed.
