If you ask any of the photographers who have worked at Getaway over the past 22 years they will all agree that judging Getaway Gallery is the highlight of the month. What started in 1989 as a simple idea — a space for our readers to share their best travel and wildlife images — has developed over the years to become the foremost African travel and wildlife photography competition in South Africa . . . if not the world. Every month we receive nearly 500 entries from more than 100 photographers; but only the very, very best make it to the pages of the Getaway magazine and website. The most amazing thing about Gallery, from a photographic point of view, is that nearly all the images submitted are taken by pure amateur enthusiasts. Although it must be said that it has helped launch several of the big names in South African photography circles along the way.

But there's even more, and this informative and up-to-date guide is the key to unlocking all the secret and not-so-secret treasures of the Garden Route.

The semi-desert inland area of Route 62 and the coastal Overberg offer a mosaic of holiday possibilities. Route 62 is an alternative road between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth through towns and surroundings very different from those of the usual N2 coastal highway. The Overberg, on the other hand, is a compact region of small, rural and coastal towns scattered among rolling farmlands and indigenous fynbos, barely an hour's drive from Cape Town.

There really is a woman who lived in a tree - for 16 years, in fact. A leopard occasionally shared her arboreal home; lions stalked underneath.

There's also a man who flew clean round the world in a microlight powered by a lawnmower engine. And a woman who single-handedly hauled a sled to the South Pole. A climber who turned back 150 meters from the top of Everest and an elephant whisperer who saved the Baghdad Zoo. These people are about as diverse as you can imagine, but they have one thing in common; they are Africans.

'They're real heroes, 'says award-winning travel writer and naturalist Don Pinnock, ' but few people seem to know abut them. So I tracked them down. Their stories are extraordinary. They make you look back at your life and think of all the things you could have done with yours.'
