4.0 out of 5 stars A nice, if somewhat snobbish supplement to the usual guides, April 17, 1999

By A Customer

The book combines beautiful photographs, excellent maps, and more concise commentary than other guides to this country. On the downside, the quality of different travel agencies, lodgings, etc. is not appraised. The information is useful for all but rock-bottom travelers (Botswana isn't cheap, anyway), however, the authors are inappropriately condescending toward the options available to budget and mid-range travelers and frankly colonial in their attitudes toward the locals. Still, if you can tolerate a few nauseating passages in the introductory chapters, you get a useful supplement to the Lonely Planet, Rough Guide etc.
