I've done a lot of research online about safaris and there is so much information but it can sometimes be hard deciphering what is accurate or not. This book details out the locations and makes it easy to compare different locations. I was planning to go to a certain area and found out from this book that I actually picked a less than desirable time to go yet I found plenty of vacation packages online for that time. I have yet to take my safari but thanks to this book, I'm looking for a better time to go. Review: This was a Gift and Well-Received--Sturdy Book With Lots of Info! - This was a gift to coworkers/friends who were traveling to Africa, and it was a great gift. They use this book and really enjoyed having it. Rich colors and thorough information. Also has maps and animal identifications. Great book, thick too, and worth the money!

Probably the best available resource for an African trip.
I have limited experience with travel books, but this seems to be the one for a trip to Africa because there's little elso out there. The last time I used a Foders' extensively was 40 years ago, and that one was close to 50 years old then. This one has what appears to be very good advice and is Ray reading. The publisher has become very leftest formy tastes but the info remains useful for every kind of traveler.

Very informative. If you have a question this book has the answer.
I really like the breakdown of all the countries and what to see and do where. The pictures and maps are very helpful. We are having a great time planning our visit.

Very helpful for folks planning an African Safari trip
This was the only book I found that gave me the type of information I wanted to select an African safari trip. It is not perfect, but it was definitely extremely helpful. African safaris are expensive, and this book definitely helped me get the confidence to made this expensive decision.

Used book
I purchased this book and have not had the chance to read it entirely. I have noticed almost immediately some of the pages are dog eared and nots written in the pages. Some paragraphs circled. This is obviously a used book sold as new

Bel ouvrage
Bel ouvrage, cela dit, les hôtels et structures présentées sont principalement pour des bourses aisées. Pas écrit pour des routards.

Zero information content
Practically of no use. This book didn't tell me how to book a safari in Africa on my own. I already know I can go through a tour operator (don't need this book in that case). It just lists out names of places and hotels. Information you can get easily from any hotel booking site. This was a total waste of money. Very disappointed. I still don't know how to book a safari once I'm in Africa.
