5.0 out of 5 stars
Great guide, esp. in comparison to the LP,
By Amanda (Long Beach, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to South Africa, Lesotho & Swaziland 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I lived in SA for about 5 months. We had both the LP and the Rough Guide and although it was nice to have both, I would recommend the Rough Guide if you were just going to choose one book. I found the Rough Guide to be a little more accurate in the prices listed and the organization to be far superior to the LP. The LP was helpful with more general information, but the Rough Guide provided more information on the little, out of the way places. If you plan on using hostels, it is imperative to pick up a Coast to Coast after arriving. It is a compelation of hostels, organized by area, that is put out by the hostels of SA. It also includes hostels in Swaziland, Lesotho, and Mozambique. Most hostels involved with the book have free copies that you can take.

Excellent companion,
By jay noseberger (Cape Town) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rough Guide to South Africa, Lesotho & Swaziland 3 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Accurate and well-researched book. The recommendations are generally spot on. Nicely written, it's like travelling around with a friend who really knows the place. As someone who lives in South Africa, it's reassuring to know that there are books that are able to talk frankly about the crime situation without getting into a froth of paranoia.

Tells you all you need to know,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rough Guide to South Africa, Lesotho & Swaziland 3 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
A well researched book giving all the tips and hints that one needs to know about South Africa. The book doesn't waste your time by making recommendations and then slating them (as other guide books tend to do).
