5.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful,
By Ritva L (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet the Gambia & Senegal (Lonely Planet the Gambia and Senegal, 1st ed) (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)
The most comprehensive travel guide I've seen. Hundreds of useful practical hints, explanations of cultural background and important things to remember for "whites" in order not to hurt or offend the traditional, mythical or religious beliefs, which are all very strong over there. I have travelled in West Africa myself, before reading this book, and found that it really shows the most important details to consider. Framed boxes in the text make it easy to find the essential tips. It is also valuable, that it shows how to travel cheaply, nothing about the luxurious hotels, more of the budget type of stuff.

By Sherrie Brownell "Ouzel" (Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet the Gambia & Senegal (Lonely Planet the Gambia and Senegal, 1st ed) (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Highly recommended! We just returned from our fourth trip to Senegal, and we found the Lonely Planet guidebook to be highly accurate and easily usable. It is well written and includes much helpful cultural information in addition to all the necessary facts. Don't leave for Senegal without it!!!!
