Cairo to Cape atlas
Africa Overland: Cairo to Cape Town Travel Atlas. 1:3,400,000. ITMB.

This atlas portrays the classic eastern route from Cairo to Cape Town over a hundred pages of maps. It covers 14 countries and gives advice on particularly sensitive travel areas, such as between Egypt and Sudan. We do not show only one recommended route, as there are alternatives once one reaches Kenya, but all are shown. The great advantage of this book is that it is compact and easy to carry, as well as being as accurate as we could make it.

Africa Historical Political Wall Maps


Historic 1909 Africa map
Africa Map 1909. National Geographic Society. This map is a reprint of the NGS Africa map published in 1909. This historic map of Africa takes you back to 1909, a time when the "Dark Continent" was barely known in the outside world. A time when the only way to get to far off places like Abyssinia, the Congo State, and Bechuanaland Protectorate was to take a long sea voyage, then travel many miles by rail. National Geographic was among the first to bring this amazing land to the world, and this incredible map provides a time capsule into these times. Artistic cartography and painstaking detail make this a map for any collector.
The 1909 Africa map features:

  • Country boundaries that show Independent Territories and Congo State, along with territories under control of Egypt, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, France, and Portugal.
  • Railroads in operation and those that were proposed
  • Steamship lines, caravan routes, cable lines, telegraph lines
  • Gold fields, silver fields, and diamond fields
  • Ocean liner routes leading to African destinations from other parts of the world
  • Principal products of each country or region are highlighted on the map
  • Contour elevation lines in 500 foot increments
  • Coverage Area: Africa, Arabian Peninsula, Spain, Italy, Turkey and the Turkish Empire
