 South
African Passage contains extracts from the diaries of youth who have gone into
the wilderness of South Africa with Ian Player and the trail leaders of the
Wilderness Leadership School. Since 1958, Ian Player, the man responsible for
saving the white rhino from extinction (and brother of international golfer Gary
Player) has taken mixed groups of teenagers (13 to 18 years old, black, white,
Indian, Asian and many others) on walking treks in the South African wilderness.
The selections are profound, humorous, enlightening, wise and full of wonder at
the world. The story is one of personal transition for these teenagers - and for
the reader - as they look within and without, recognizing what Sir Laurens van
der Post calls "the sacred atmosphere" and sense of home we find in the
wilderness.
