5.0 out of 5 stars
From initial planning to health and safety and handling bureaucracy across the states,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Africa Overland, 4th: 4x4*Motorbike*Bicycle*Truck (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)
It used to be travelers to Africa would never think of making their journeys entirely overland - but today they can, and with Africa Overland's updated fourth edition, travelers can plan their own trip or choose from one of the overland expeditions recommended herein. From initial planning to health and safety and handling bureaucracy across the states, Africa Overland covers everything from driving in different terrains to cultural differences and locating accommodation. Africa Overland reflects the author's on experience, so is seasoned with more than just hearsay.

Africa by Road: The Bradt Travel Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Africa by Road, 3rd: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
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
An all-embracing practical guide!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Africa by Road, 3rd: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
An all-embracing practical guide! A real inspiration to travellers wishing to see the world's most exotic continent by road. Our trip was enhanced by Charlie's creative suggestions and advice and my only regret is that we didn't have time to see all places he suggested.
