Offbeat South Africa is both a guide and tribute to the strange and surreal people, places and things that make this country great. It is an off-the-radar directory of idiosyncratic attractions for all those who have dreamt of jumping in their car and following the road less travelled. Readers will marvel at the world's largest pineapple and a four-legged ostrich, meet a rapping granny, explore a bizarre hobbit-like house and the quirkiest town in South Africa, go for a pint inside the world's first tree pub, and frolic with frogs at a festival. Magnificent, amusing, or just plain kitsch, all are celebrations of the distinctive South African psyche.
