Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Africa
Book Review: Good planning book
Summary: 5 Stars
I did not travel with this book, in fact, I have not gone to Africa yet (except for Morocco and Egypt).
However, I think this guide is very good for planning the trip, routes, which countries to visit and which ones to leave out.
Since it includes every country on the continent (even the 3 areas of Somalia) it provides a general idea of what to expect in each country and what might be of interest for you. It also let's you compare country by country, although given the size of the book every chapter contains somewhat limited information about them.
The bottom line is this: In my opinion, it is a very good book, and I guess it is useful depending on how much information you might want during your trip. If you want to have everything in control, I suggest you to buy this book to plan ahead and then buy a regional one (or a country guide) with more information, to go with. Otherwise, if you are a little bit of and adventurer, grab this one and discover the continent.
