As Essential as Anti-malarials!,
By M Rawle (Liverpool, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghana (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Almost essential during any trip to Ghana, this guide really makes it easy to locate the wealth of culture and hospitality in Ghana.
Without a guide Ghana can oft times seem at best daunting and at worst dull. This is far from the truth however, the country containing almost all of what Africa has to offer - Rainforests, Christian & Muslim Cultures, Safaris, Beautiful lakes and beaches and even *cough* the corrupting influences of the west are detailed in extraordinary depth within this guide. As a country not exactly buzzing with tourism not only is the guide essential in uncovering customs and tradition - but also in making sure that three hour ride on a tro-tro (rickety old van) results in a glorious beach or magnificent walk through a rainforest canopy... rather than some floating poo-poo washing up on the shores of a smoggy bustling town (and yes, unfortunately Ghana does have these as much abundance as any other developing country). As a student volunteer in Ghana I found this book a lifesaver, and I would assume it would be just as suitable for anyone taking on the role of tourist as well (as I travelled extensively as well during my stay). If you're going to Ghana, purchase this book. If you're thinking of visiting Africa, I wholeheartedly recommend Ghana... so purchase this book! NOTE: As far as I'm aware however, this is the only Ghanaian travel guide... so it seems a little unsurprising they can laud it as "the best selling"...

5.0 out of 5 stars
great guide,
By Sarah (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghana (The Bradt Travel Guide) (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
All of the travelers I met in Ghana had this book. It is the only one out there that I know of and it does the job well. It is full of good information on restaurants and hotels and provides invaluable basic street maps of the cities and towns. If you plan to travel the country and experience anything other than air conditioned hotel lobbies, this will be your best guide. It can also be a heartening source of encouragement to the weary or confused traveler.I would not go to Ghana without it.

Good but many errors!,
By
This review is from: Ghana (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Being the only travel book available in the UK specifically for Ghana, there's nothing to compare it against! The maps and explanations about towns and tourist attractions are excellent. The cultural obsevations and tips are pretty helpful too especially the health section.
However, a lot of the phone numbers are either out of date or are completely wrong - bit of a problem when trying to book a hotel. Also, the prices have changed dramatically since its publication - roll on the new version!
