1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Tanzania, October 1, 2004

By	Mark J. Rougeux (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The coverage of Tanzania in this book is quite sparse. I did not find it to be useful at all, and a great disappointment. I then went out and bought Lonely Planet's book on Tanzania, and was very pleased with the depth of information it offered, including such things as maps of towns with locations of ATM's, hotels, etc and color photographs. This is a much more useful book if you are going to Tanzania.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless for Tanzania, February 8, 2007

By	J. Cameron "sirenz" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Three-fourths of this book is dedicated to Kenya. The addition of Tanzania was clearly an afterthought. The descriptions of lodgings are rather generic and there are only a few hotels, attractions, or restaurants listed. On Zanzibar, we did better with a 20 page pamphlet of ads than with this book. Don't waste your money on this book if you're headed to Tanzania or Zanzibar.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, November 27, 2005

By	Ashley H "Ashley H" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

Whatever you do- DONT buy this worthless book. Unless you just want to stay in 5 star lodges and do and see NOTHING ELSE. I had the Lonely Planet Kenya that I dragged with me backpacking in Kenya- It was wonderful. The East Africa Lonely Planet is great too. Save your money!
