3.0 out of 5 stars
Watch out for 7 digit phone numbers,
By Elise A. Carpenter (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Botswana (Lonely Planet Botswana & Namibia) (Paperback)
Dear Readers,I bought this book before going to Botswana Summer 2002. This book was useful, but most of the phone numbers are incorrect since the govt. has not completely switched over to 7 digits from 6 digits. It did help me go on vacation while there and gave me some good ideas of what to do. The maps are rather inadequate also. EAC

2.0 out of 5 stars
not comprehensive,
By Reenie (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Botswana (Lonely Planet Botswana & Namibia) (Paperback)
I found this guide barely scratches the surface of travel possibilities in Botswana, offering few choices within each price range, and scant historical or cultural information. If you plan to visit only northern Botswana or the Central Kgalagadi (as most tourists so) then better to purchase the Bradt guide, which even after 2 years in Botswana, I still find interesting. The sight seeing and accomodation information in Lonely PLanet guide is meager at best, offering few choices. In Botswana, the best and most interesting places are off the beaten path, and Lonely Planet did not bother to find many of them for their readers. If you plan on visting southern or eastern Botswana (near Gaborone or Selebi-Phikwe) then buy a guide that includes South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia as well. This guide was fairly useless to me and has hardly left my bookshelf in the 2 years I've been in Bots! For a truly enjoyable holiday, buy a different guide.
