Sunbird Publishers’ Touring Map to the Karoo is a fine piece of regional cartography that conveniently folds up into a book-like format. Namaqualand and the Kalahari are also illustrated on this map, making it a reliable travel companion for your next adventure into the sticks.

Unlike many other fold-up paper maps, it includes a practical index of place names to pinpoint the area you need before infuriating a lost driver with frustrating map kerfuffle.

There are also simple street guides to the dorpies you’re likely to stumble upon along the way, highlighted with museums, monuments and other places of interest. This map is incredibly insightful, but keep in mind that the distances of some of the smaller secondary roads haven’t been included.

Costs R80 from selected bookshops.
