Offbeat South Africa - the travel guide to the wacky and wonderful (Struik, 2006)
Offbeat South Africa is both a guide and tribute to the strange and surreal people, places and things that make this country great. It is an off-the-radar directory of idiosyncratic attractions for all those who have dreamt of jumping in their car and following the road less travelled. Readers will marvel at the world's largest pineapple and a four-legged ostrich, meet a rapping granny, explore a bizarre hobbit-like house and the quirkiest town in South Africa, go for a pint inside the world's first tree pub, and frolic with frogs at a festival. Magnificent, amusing, or just plain kitsch, all are celebrations of the distinctive South African psyche.
"[T]his colourful, cheeky and cheerful little book will get your travel juices flowing.. Even the stodgiest of couch potatoes won't be able to resist trying out some of these quirky, fun, unique things to do and places to go." Kate Turkington, Joburg.co.za (17/11/06)
"This book will have you rediscovering South Africa in a wacky wonderful way that will have you saying: 'I did not know you could do that in South Africa.'" Yolandi Groenewald, Mail&Guardian Online (03/11/06)
