5.0 out of 5 stars Do exactly as it says on the cover!, 25 Jul 2001
By A Customer
Having travelled a bit in Asia (accompanied by the requisite guide books), I thought that it was time that I had a look round Africa. But, if you don't know which country (or countries) you want to go to, then where do you start?

Well, Lonely Planet have come up trumps again! This is an excellent starting place for planning a trip - be it from 1 week to 1 year, a holiday or a travelling adventure.

This book gives a detailed description of how to go about planning any trip (regardless of continent), then describes the joys and problems of Africa (culture, health, etc). And THEN it provides a few pages describing each country - what's good to see, visa requirements, and so on. It even provides suggested itineries, highlights and a map.

Basically, it's what you need to know about a country in order for you to decide whether you research a place in depth or consign it to the "not going there" pile. It doesn't try to put you off, it just tells it to you straight, and allows you to make your own mind up (unless it's a country in serious turmoil, when the LP take the responsible line and say that they are not recommending anyone travelling there).

So ... unless you know exactly where you want to and for how long (when you buy the guide to a particular country) ... read this first!
