Nice for culture, not useful as a travel guide,
By
This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: South Africa (Paperback)
When I travel I like to get some tips about what places are nice to visit, what restaurants, bars, hotels are recommended.
This guide as an extended section about South Africa history and general economic situation, but it lacks a lot of tips and details in the travel section.

Limited information,

This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: South Africa (Paperback)
How can a travel guide book be taken seriously when it completely omits any reference to one of the most important cities in a country? This would be akin to never mentioning Chicago in a USA travel guide. Bloemfontein, one of the three national capitals of South Africa (along with Pretoria and Cape Town) is never mentioned, other than showing up on the one map of the entire country. It's not even shown on any regional maps in the guide. This guide does have some decent general information for some areas of the country, but was useless in planning a road trip through South Africa. My guess is the author(s) used air and train travel to get around the country. If you are planning to drive around South Africa don't expect much help from this book.
