1.0 out of 5 stars lazy research, poor journalism, 29 Nov 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Tanzania (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really, a waste of money, 24 Feb 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tanzania, Zanzibar and Pemba (Lonely Planet Read This First) (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 The fact that it's now well out-of-date is hardly LP's fault, but it makes it even less useful now.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)

2.0 out of 5 stars This book contains out-of-date info, 2 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tanzania, Zanzibar and Pemba (Lonely Planet Read This First) (Paperback)

Having used Lonely Planet guides on previous travels, I bought this book before going on holiday in Zanzibar, but was badly let down. The information in the book is out of date (especially pricing information) and the author's tone is optimistic throughout - if you want a tourist board guide then this is it, if you want a representative guide then I suggest you look elsewhere.
