Mountains of Africa by Duncan Souchan

A visual celebration that takes the reader on glorious visits to Africa’s magnificent mountains:

the holy ones, the prominent and fabled ones, and those we see and hear of all the time … the volcanic highlands of the Drakensberg/Maluti, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Kenya, Tsodilo Hills, Mount Sinai, the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, and of course Table Mountain, the jewel in South African tourism.

Mountains of Africa is a journey of both historical and modern travel: walk alongside great explorers of bygone eras while reading about modern-day activities available for mountain enthusiasts.

Also covered are people’s interactions with the mountains from the perspective of the people living in the surrounds, as well as information found in geological, geographical and pioneering history, and substantial reference is made to particular mountains that are natural sanctuary to certain endangered animals, and to the vegetation and protected parks and areas.

Duncan Souchon is a respected South African mountaineer as well as content manager of SuperSport’s SuperClimb web section. He is an adventurer at heart, a storyteller and also a man who is passionate about mountains, their people and creatures living in the area around them.

Ever Wanted To Be A Safari Guide?

Action-packed 4 day course introduces guests to the fun aspects of guiding

Tuli Safari Lodge and Okavango Guiding School (OGS) have partnered to offer visitors to Botswana a holiday experience with a difference – a fascinating, action-packed adventure that gives a taste of life as a safari guide. The course is based in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve – a genuine wilderness area with dramatic landscapes, diverse flora & fauna, 350+ bird species, interesting geology and significant archaeological sites – located just across the South African border near Mapungubwe.

This 4 day/3 night course focuses on the fun aspects of guiding such as bush survival; tracking; reading bush sign; predicting animal behaviour; understanding interactions between animals and plants; approaching, viewing and retreating from potentially dangerous animals; navigating using the stars; off-road driving; rifle handling and hot topics in African and global conservation.

Through a combination of game drives, bush walks and ‘lectures’ in an outdoor classroom, the course is designed to boost guests’ environmental awareness and knowledge.

The course trainers from OGS are experts in their field with unparalleled guiding experience as well as being intricately involved with developing the new guiding standards in Botswana. OGS is the only institute accredited to train and assess against these standards. Tuli Safari Lodge is registered as a BOTA (Botswana Training Authority) accredited training centre, and OGS is also registered under BOTA as well as being an endorsed training provider under the FGASA (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa).

Course attendees are accommodated in a rustic tented camp, Nokalodi, beautifully located on the banks of the Limpopo River. Accommodation is in Meru-style safari tents with en-suite outdoor bathrooms. Nokalodi is operated and managed by Tuli Safari Lodge.
