Relive your favourite memories of the national parks with a box set of Custos magazines.


For more than 25 years Custos was the voice of conservation in South Africa. Between the pages was the world of the national parks, with surprising stories of animal behaviour and pictures of wonderful wildlife sightings.

Now the SANParks Honorary Rangers have collected the full set of issues from December 1971 to September 1998 onto DVD. For R280, you can open a unique window onto the national parks. The magazine is an invaluable source of scientific and historical information and contains interesting figures about the parks’ fauna and flora.

Proceeds from the sale of the DVD set will be donated to nature conservation projects of the SANParks Honorary Rangers. For more information contact Willie Geyer on 083 226 3958.

Allan Webber says:I finally managed to get to the PO today, my parcel been waiting for quite some time. Delighted to once again be able to read Custos. Hats off to all involved with what must have been a mammoth task.
