Excellent pre-reading for first-time or regular visitors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet : The Gambia & Senegal (Paperback)
This is a comprehensive summary of most of what the independent traveller will need in The Gambia, and probably Senegal too (although this reviewer's experience was limited to one day in Senegal, so the book wasn't really "road-tested" there).It is particularly good on the cultural history and ethnic makeup of The Gambia, but is also packed full of essential information, right down to the names and likely locations of individual money-changers! Tourists and first-time visitors will benefit from the useful maps and lists of nightclubs etc, and the warnings about the pushiness and tricks of the hucksters, but nothing can prepare one for little kids desperate for any gifts. But don't be put off - the Gambian people are exceedingly friendly and welcoming, and this book never left my side - well worth the money.

Very useful,
By Ritva L - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet : The Gambia & Senegal (Paperback)
The most comprehensive travel guide I've seen. Hundreds of useful practical hints, explanations of cultural background and important things to remember for "whites" in order not to hurt or offend the traditional, mythical or religious beliefs, which are all very strong over there. I have travelled in West Africa myself, before reading this book, and found that it really shows the most important details to consider. Framed boxes in the text make it easy to find the essential tips. It is also valuable, that it shows how to travel cheaply, nothing about the luxurious hotels, more of the budget type of stuff.

By Sherrie Brownell "Ouzel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet : The Gambia & Senegal (Paperback)
Highly recommended! We just returned from our fourth trip to Senegal, and we found the Lonely Planet guidebook to be highly accurate and easily usable. It is well written and includes much helpful cultural information in addition to all the necessary facts. Don't leave for Senegal without it!!!!
