Gary A. Peters: 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.

Kathy: So glad I bought this book! 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.

Miss D Sweet: Not as detailed as we hoped, excludes a large number of lodges, and very repetitive.

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

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.
