4.0 out of 5 stars Can't do West Africa without it, 13 Dec 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: West Africa (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)

As usual the lonely planet West Africa is full of details, which enable a traveller to travel around West Africa, ranging from the best hotels in small towns to bus schedules. From the fertile coast to the sandy deserts it provides a good but brief overview of the nature, history and present sights. The only weak point is the limited amount of information on regional cultural differences or history, which is probably caused by the number of countries covered
