South Africa Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3204) Map – Folded Map, January 1, 2025

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.

Just what I needed for our upcoming trip.

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.

a quality map

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.

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.

the super tough material is perfect for adventure and makes the map worth the price.

This map is okay, but not great.The good:- it's VERY durable (awesome!)- it's mostly accurateThe bad:- it's not entirely accurate. In particular, it is not very good about knowing which roads are dirt, and which are not. (This becomes very important after heavy rains.) Luckily, helpful locals steered us away from areas that could have been total disasters, and for the others, well, at least we were in an SUV, so we made it through. (But on a rough dirt road, things take a lot longer than they would on decent pavement.)Photo:- contrary to the map, not a paved road :/
