Rupert Isaacson

Writers bio:
Rupert Isaacson is a Londoner of Southern African parentage, who divides his time between the UK, the USA (he currently lives near Austin, Texas) and Africa - where most of his work is. Confusingly, he spends most of his work time with the Bushmen of the Kalahari, and has written a book on the subject, The Healing Land.

He is the author of six guidebooks: the Cadogan guides to South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana & Namibia, South India and Goa. He also produced two guides to adventure sports - one on Southern Africa (Southern Africa on the Wild Side, Cadogan), and one on the UK (Action Guide to Britain, Harvill Press). He writes regularly for Conde Nast Traveller, Food & Travel, the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Independent on Sunday and Esquire - as well as American publications such as National Geographic Traveller and Outside.
