4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pre-reading for first-time or regular visitors, 13 Feb 2001
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide, even if you are just going the Gambia Coast, 18 Nov 2007
By M. C. Rickitt (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Gambia and Senegal (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
Luckily I wasn't totally put off by your previous reviewer who complained bitterly about the mis-reference to Timbuctu and I bought the book!

I had previously purchased the 2nd edition of this guide and wasn't too impressed by it. However, this third edition is by a new author who has lived in Senegal and it has been completely revised. It is full of useful practical and background information for the curious traveller, even for those that have only booked a package to the Gambian Coastal resorts. Armchair travellers should find it an interesting read as well.

I am shortly going on a 14 day escorted adventure tour to Senegal and Gambia, and if the Amazon review system allows a second bite at the cherry, I hope to report on how useful and accurate the book is when I return.

Given the paucity of accurate information about either country available elsewhere, this book has certainly given me a good insight of what to expect.

2.0 out of 5 stars Guesswork, maps were Okay., 15 Dec 2005
By Richard Murkett (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I gave up as soon the Authours suggested that the Phrase "going to Timbuctu" was in use in the 13 century in the U.K. ! as the City was founded in the 9th & was a Trading Place by then. They had no evidense just guess work. (Just because you think it sounds good doesn't make it True, my guess would be after 1860)
I just assumed from then on the rest of the book was Guesswork.
I was staying in a resort & did not need any information from the book but after a mistake like that I would have double checked every detail.
I won't buy anyother Lonely Planet book if there is another Option. I paid £13 for Guesswork. I'm not even sure they have been to Gambia.
