Roger and Pat de la Harpe have teamed up again to produce a marvellous book on the Tuli area. It is steeped in history, early, precolonial, colonial - and is home to one of the earliest civilzations in South Africa - Mapungubwe - before colonists come along and started putting man-made boundaries everywhere. The landscape is ancient - Tuli is an Iron Age special place full of magic. There are Stone Age artefacts, Iron Age ruin, old trading trails and even a Baobab where Cecil Rhodes carved his initials. There are large horizons - this is big sky country - and big herding elephant and some of the largest trees in Southern Africa, giant Mashatu, Baobab and one giant Leadwood over 60m. Set foot in Tuli and the ancient dust of Africa seeps into your soul - you will return again and again. Pat and Roger have captured the magic of Tuli with over 200 beautiful photographs and a very entertaining 45,000 words of text. Not just a pretty picture book - this is packed with fascinating information and anecdotes too.
