lazy research, poor journalism 29 Nov 2005

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

on the road, this book is practically useless. information clearly hasn't been updated since the previous edition, so a great deal of info is incorrect. the book was clearly written by someone with access to a car - you find yourself thinking, yes, i'll go and take a look at that. but, read on for the small print> often the only way to get to the recommended places is with your own transport or on a hideously expensive tour. this book is just lazy. the rough guide is 'less recent' (theoretically), but much much more useful. avoid this book like the plague.

Really, a waste of money 24 Feb 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

Lonely planet guides are patchy, but this one is an unusually poor, lazy effort. For every area covered a quick list of hotels and tour companies is given, but the a compendium of lists is little use to anyone. The information on Arusha and the popular Ngorongoro/Serengeti/Kilimanjaro trips is thin enough, but the absence of information on Zanzibar (for example the differences between the beaches and towns and dive sites) is a complete joke. Pre-internet this book might just about have been worth it to save time on travel and accomodation information, but honestly, two hours on the web will give you far more interesting and useful information. The fact that it's now well out-of-date is hardly LP's fault, but it makes it even less useful now.

(one useful tip that should but doesn't appear in the book - don't take travellers' cheques to Tanzania)

let down 15 Aug 2007

By Catriona Bisset

Format:Paperback

Having just returned from trip to Tanzania, I feel badly let down by this book. It was largely as a result of its information on the supposedly excellent Scandanavian buses that we ended up missing our flight home. Advice: take the Rough Guide or Bradt, if you do take the Lonely Planet, add at least 2-3 hrs on to every journey time, ignore their advice on hotels, either they slam the good ones or big up the poor ones and, in reference to an earlier comment, if you do take travellers cheques, make sure you ave the reciept with you when you try and use them. I can't help feeling that lonely Planet relied on its well known name to make the book sell and failed to do any research for the latest edition.
