When Redmond O'Hanlon
set out to rediscover the lost rhinoceros of Borneo, accompanied by the poet
James Fenton, it was in the best tradition of nineteenth-century
exploration. They were armed with back-breaking kit suitable for surviving
two months in a steaming jungle of creeping, crawling and biting things;
their heads brimmed with training provided by the SAS ('We've left a lot of
men in Borneo-know what I mean?'); and O'Hanlon himself had an encyclopedic
knowledge of the region's flora and fauna. And yet they proceeded to have

Spread across a verdant and
mountainousexpanse of land, Guatemala is endowed with simply staggering
natural, historical and cultural interest. Though the giant Maya temples and
rainforest cities have been long abandoned, ancient traditions remain very
much alive throughout the Guatemalan highlands. Uniquely in Central America,
at least half the country's population is still Native American, and this
rural indigenous culture is far stronger than anywhere else in the region.
From the Pacific to the mountainous highlands, this guide helps you decide
which adventure is for you. Excellent tips on accomodation, eating, dancing,

guide to South Africa
-Rough Guides
South Africa is a
large, diverse and incredibly beautiful country. The size of France and
Spain combined, it varies from the picturesque Garden Route towns of the
Western Cape to the raw stretch of subtropical coast in northern
KwaZulu-Natal. It's also one of the great cultural meeting points of the
African continent, a fact obscured by years of enforced racial segregation,
but now manifest in the big cities. Yet South Africa is also something of an
enigma; it has the best travel facilities on the African continent, but also
the most difficult surface to scratch. After so long as an international
pariah, the rainbow nation" is still struggling to find its identity.
This is the Guide for those looking for a unique and at times challenging
journey through one of Africa's most complex and beautiful countries.
