I am positively surprised by the level of detail and professionalism. A true companion to plan your visit well ahead and to avoid subsequent disappointments. Being now in the planning phase of my trip I just cannot wait to actually visit South Africa in March 2012 as the book brings everything to life.
This review is for the Kindle version of the 2009 LP South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland guide bookPROS- Very good content from Lonely Planet; meets expectationsCONS- Kindle version is difficult to navigate, especially the TOC; regardless of whether you're reading on an iPad, Kindle, or computer- No color photographs, maps or other visuals
I ordered this book for my boyfriend who is talking about visiting Southern African in the future. When the book arrived a few days ago I was impressed as to how detailed & accurate the information was (I am South African and an African travel consultant so was objective & have experience in this subject). I was, however, slightly dissapointed by the lack of images. Pictures truly speak a thousand words and engage a reader so much more...giving them visuals of what to expect.Overall, this book is great purchase for anyone wanting to plan a trip to sunny SA. For images, do a google.com search. There are heaps out there!Happy travels! Africa awaits you!!!!
I was looking for a travel book that had good section about Kruger National park and this one while having info on the whole country has limited value for just a single area such as Kruger. The book though is well written however the sections contain limited info. For example if you are looking for lodging you will find very few listed and this is the same for eating places. The book I found is more a summary that can be read very quickly. If you are looking for substantial detailed info on a particular area this book will have to be supplemented. There are a limited number of page maps in the copy I have but no country wide large map. That would have been handy.
This book is probably the best that you can currently find on SA however needs to be updated with phone numbers, prices, and other information since South Africa has changed so much in the past couple of years. Call ahead when staying anywhere!
Lonely Planet guides continue to impress me. I am so excited and looking forward to everything the guide tells me about. Handy hints, helpful information and teasing me to see more and more of this country!
Great price! Very happy. Item was as described. Brand new, helped plan my trip to South Africa! Thank you :)
Lonely Planet needs to rethink how they organize these digital versions. If they took the time to do some indexing for each entry, it would be so convenient to use. While traveling, you typically need to search for information based on location or type of query (food, transport, hotels, etc.). I found the search functionality really challenging.However, it was nice to have some of the maps available for use without carrying a bulky book.Overall it was nice to have, but I just wish it were better organized and easier to navigate within and search.
