5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent investment for virtually everyone, May 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet Kenya (3rd ed) (Paperback)

This book, and its relative, the guide to East Africa, got me (and my husband) comfortably through 8 weeks of travel in East Africa. It was equally useful for the trip where I was a woman traveling alone, and the trip I took with my never-been-to-the-third-world dyed-in-the-wool- American husband. The only travellers who PERHAPS might not benefit from this book are people on top-shelf tours that ensure that the travellers' feet never really touch the ground. But I truly think that everyone else will find it well worth the few dollars and the few ounces in their luggage, whether that luggage is a matched leather set or a backpack. the history, the explanations of local occurrences, the accurate and pragmatic tips and techniques for getting around/eating/shopping/sleeping/safari-ing/living are difficult to survive without

5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE travel guide for Kenya, July 23, 2000

By	Jeanne Ukwendu "BellaOnline.com African Cultu... (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was simply stunned by the number of detailed maps in this book. The amount of information for each region of Kenya is outstanding and well done. If you need to know it - it's in this book. Hotels, restaurants, parks, reserves, tribes, Swahili it's all here. Very nicely organized.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for traveling in Kenya, January 18, 2000

By	Malinda Hoerster (Llano, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lonely Planet Kenya (3rd ed) (Paperback)

This book is perfect for traveling the roads of Kenya. I used it when I spent 9 months in Kenya. It lists every detail of the area very accurately. I would not travel without it.
