5.0 out of 5 stars I Highly recommend using the Lonely Planet as your guide

If you are going to take a trip to another country, I Highly recommend using the Lonely Planet as your guide. These Books are always well organized and easy to read. The Guide books always include information on the best sights They have hotel choices for every budget. I have been to 32 countries and every continent except Antarctica. I always use the Lonely Planet for practical information. They always include a section of "Dangers and Annoyances" which can help make your trip more enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed information and history.

Even thought I am going with a tour company, this book was extremely valuable mainly for the history of places I will visit, and for giving more than enough info about each place. I don't use the hotel sections since I am going on an all inclusive tour so can't speak to those issues.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too brief to be of any real use
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2010
This book is little more than a list of tourist destinations in Southern Africa. Budget accomodation is limited and information about the places listed is non-existant. Everything in this book could be found out with a few quick google searches. Save your money.

Tout ce qu'il faut pour voyager dans cette région du monde , la légèreté du guide est appréciable dans un sac à dos.

I used this for a recent trip to Africa. The only issue is that it's almost impossible to go that much in depth when trying to cover all those countries. Was the only guide I found that covered most countries I was going to (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa) and gave me some basic overview of these countries.

Like all compilation books it is OK for planning a trip to the area, but short on information when you get there. It does save carrying loads of books around. It is now badly out of date. A new book is due soon, apparently
