About Us

Chris Marais & Julienne du Toit are award-winning authors and photographers living and working in the Karoo, South Africa’s semi-desert heartland.
They are urban refugees. In 2007 they traded in the skyline of Johannesburg for the wide-angle horizons of the Karoo, and bought a little house in the river town of Cradock.
From here, they regularly venture west into the dry country, returning with stories and photographs from villages, farms and people they meet along the road.
Chris & Julienne freelance for South African markets like SA Country Life Magazine, Sawubona (SAA in-flight) and the SA Tourism website (www.southafrica.net).
Their offshore clients include Suite 101.com (US), Wanderlust UK and The Guardian newspaper.
Their travel books to date:
- A Drink of Dry Land – Travels Through Namibia;
- Namibia Space;
- Shorelines – A Journey Along SA’s Coastline
- Coast to Coast – Life on SA’s Shores
- Karoo Keepsakes – A Traveller’s Companion to the Heartland of South Africa
- 101 Bars of Southern Africa (Chris Marais & Pat Hopkins)
