Most comprehensive book on southern Africa, 23 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adventuring in Southern Africa: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho (Sierra Club Adventure Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This book is full of interesting and pertinent travel information; it is a MUST for anyone interested in game-viewing and travelling in southern Africa. The author gives best times to travel depending on what you want to see, and for each country, lists brief history/present politics, places to stay--easily accessible to remote--and how to get there and what you may see. He also gives a comprehensive packing list, medical info, and tips on game viewing. Out of the 4 books I bought on southern Africa, this is the one I referred to most often. This book, coupled with The Kingdon Field Guide to African Mammals, is an invaluable southern Africa traveller's necessity.

Verbose and superficial: a waste of money, 13 Jan 2001
By Pierre Saslawsky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adventuring in Southern Africa: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho (Sierra Club Adventure Travel Guides) (Paperback)
...I bought this book to make plans for a trip to Zambia but the chapter about this country is only 40 pages long, both verbose and superficial. Don't get fooled by the "Adventuring" in the title, unless your idea of adventure is to hop by plane from lodge to lodge at $200 or $300 a night. More importantly, except for the park entrance fees, this book doesn't list any price at all (I got them from two other, excellent, travel guides). Comments on cheaper accomodations are few and disenchanted. The maps are equally few and over-simplified (the roads don't even appear!...) Finally, I looked at the chapters about the other countries and it certainly didn't change my opinion about this book. Note also that the date of the last edition (October 97) makes it relatively outdated.

Outstanding and thorough book about South Africa, 15 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adventuring in Southern Africa: Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho (Sierra Club Adventure Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This book is an outstanding resource to be read prior to traveling to South Africa. It covers many different aspects of what the experience will entail. These include the history, etiquette, positives and negatives of each type of travel, various diseases and safety precautions one should take. In addition, he thoroughly delivers every aspect of each south african country...ie. countryside, animals, weather, and history. This book in interesting, exciting, and educational!
