5.0 out of 5 stars Fab info for potential Gullivers, 18 Jul 2002

By A Customer

Well, what can I say. This is the(underlined) most comprehensive guide to overland travel in Africa I have ever seen. Everything from getting you kit together to amusing anecdotes that Charles and Illya had along the way.

Don't go driving to Africa without this book in your bag.

It is the essential guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Africa by Road, 10 Jul 2002

By A Customer

The authors of Africa by Road do a great job of presenting an overview to planning and undertaking an overland African trip. They assume the reader has a decent degree of common sense and independence and point the would-be traveller in all right directions without producing that 'hand-holding' feeling.

Anyone who needs to know where to start or what needs to be covered in planning an African Adventure shouldn't be without this guide. All the important aspects are covered and combined nicely with notes of personal experience and amusing anecdotes that accentuate the 'African feeling'.

Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading!!!!!, 17 May 2009

By	Edward Griffiths (London, England, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Africa Overland: 4x4� Motorbike� Bicycle� Truck (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)

If you are traveling anywhere in Africa by road, you MUST take this guide!

The guide begins with a complete rundown of what you will need and what you wont need, what works and what doesnt, where to go and where to stay clear and so on.

The individual run-downs of each country contain exactly what you need to know, from fuel prices to road conditions and distances. As with all Bradt guides the recomendations for hotels are the most up-to-date you will find.

Very good, very detailed, an essential travel companion.
