5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and beautifully written guide, November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: South Africa (Paperback)

I found this guide to be really useful, and to give me a really good sense of the places I went and the people I met. The practical info is very good, but unlike some of the other guides which focus mainly on practical info, this book also gave good insights about the different peoples living in South Africa (there's amazing diversity there, and the book helps explain who's who), the landscape, the history, and the animals (it has a wildlife guide that is a real help). It was a lot of fun to read and kept me entertained as I was deciding where to go next. The pictures scattered througout the book are also beautiful.
