Product Description

Review

"An invaluable resource." The New York Times "Travelling independently to Namibia and exploring some of the remoter corners of this fascinating country by 4x4, we came to depend on the Bradt Guide. This was especially the case when we ventured into Bushmanland in the north east to visit the remote Khaudum National Park. Arriving late into Tsumkwe and unable to gain access to the lodge, we were forced to drive hard up the sand tracks into the gathering gloom, eyes glued to the GPS and totally reliant on the coordinates thankfully detailed in this comprehensive guidebook. We toasted Chris McIntyre with a few beers when we finally arrived at the Sikerti Camp!" Exodus "Best guidebook." The Sunday Times "The most detailed guide available." Wanderlust "Both thorough and authoritative." Travel and Leisure "By far the most thorough and informative." Travel Africa 'The best travel guide I've ever used' David Takacs

Product Description

This highly praised guide is written by Chris McIntyre, a tour operator who specialises in southern Africa. His unbeatable knowledge of the country is augmented by ecologist Jonathan Hughes who describes how animals and plants survive the desert conditions. Namibia is the ideal country for a self-drive holiday, so this book is predominantly aimed at those travellers. Fifty clear maps and detailed listings of the lodges, guest farms and bushcamps make this guide the essential purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Currently the best guide to Namibia, 17 Feb 2008

C. Sims (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Namibia (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Having spent a fair amount of time in Namibia we have collected almost every guide book there is and I have to say this is the one we use most. I like the layout more than the others and it is generally more informative and more up to date. A good all round guide book to this amazing country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Independent travellers, 22 Mar 2005

Jane Campion (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Namibia: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

Great guide. Much more detailed and up to date compared to the Lonely Planet. As usual it's the excellent standard of Bradt, you certainly dont feel you're trailing around the country on the same route as everyone else - lots of great ideas and suggestions. Namibia is one great destination and this book takes you all over with practical advice and clarity.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with some wonderful detail, 2 May 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Namibia: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

This is what a travel book should be. All the information you need with a dash of personal input descibing the country. It has that extra bit of knowledge letting you know the history and detail of what you're looking at, rather than a dry list of addresses and maps.

There are a few minor errors, as with all guidebooks, and the map for guesthouses in Windhoek is frustratingly hopelessly inaccurate.

Lots and lots of detail and info makes this a must pack.
