This review is from: Tanzania (Footprint - Travel Guides) (Paperback)

we traveled tanzania and zanzibar for a month, and got most of our info from this little book. it was (at that time- april 2006) up-to-date. easy to use, not too heavy in the backpack and informative enough to get us to the right guesthouse or restaurant without bothering the locals too much.

some city and town maps included only the most central parts- quite a problem when they do not include central bus or train stations....

all in all- a good book to have when you are in tanzania!
