Southern African countries at 1:2,500,000 on an indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet and covers countries the whole of Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eswatini, Lesotho and South Africa, plus most of Zambia and Malawi.

Road network and railways are presented on a clear base which shows the area’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, names of mountain ranges, salt pans, swamps, seasonal rivers, etc. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and selected 4WD tracks, indicating locations of border crossings. A wide range of symbols highlights various places of interest, including UNESCO heritage sites, national parks and nature reserves, rock paintings and archaeological sites, beaches, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of place names which also includes an extensive list of national parks/game reserves/protected areas.

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: ITM is pleased to re-introduce their coverage of two countries of africa that are fairly unique. Both were well-established entities when settlers arrived, and both were able to maintain their identities throughout the colonial era, as protectorates. Lesotho is quite mountainous, with a poorly developed road network, so is a travel adventure destination. It occupies side 1, along with an inset of maseru, the capital. Swaziland, which has recently changed its name for local purposes to eswatini, occupies side 2, with an inset of mbabane, its capital. Both countries are easy to access from south africa, and are well worth visiting. We have also added two lists showing the top attractions of both countries. Both are land-locked countries either adjacent to or surrounded by south africa; both are essentially agricultural countries, although lesotho s mountainous terrain offers considerable touristic appeal, particularly the sani pass. Legend includes: Highway, main road, secondary road, street, pathway, railway, park, lake, international airport, gas station, church, hotel, museum, library, restaurant, shopping, police station, bank, school, stadium, bus terminal, golfing, etc. 2nd edition 2019. Scales: Lesotho 1:350.000, swailand 1:200.000.

The most southerly portion of the African continent is also one of the most scenic parts of that vast continent. South Africa was settled by Europeans in the 1500s, displacing the indigenous population. It developed into an industrial, urbanized society by WW2, but has had a troubled modern history. It is touristically attractive, with two main ports of entry – Johannesburg and Cape Town. It is easy to rent a car and drive around the country (NB: they drive on the wrong side of the road!) or enjoy a luxurious train trip between the two main cities.

The Garden Route, along the south shore, passes through vintage vineyards and enables one to explore off-the-beaten-path towns like Knysna, or explore the Transkei, or visit land-locked Lesotho. The game parks of South Africa are rightly famous. Kruger is the most famous, but my favourite is Addo, an elephant sanctuary north of Port Elizabeth. Farther north is Swaziland, which has recently changed its name to Eswatini, and further west are Botswana and Namibia, portions of which are included on the map. Finally, there is the arid Northern Cape and the Great Karoo to discover.
