3.0 out of 5 stars Insight Guide to Namibia, October 26, 2005

By	Marty Joe "Tampa Traveler" (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This guide has beautiful pictures of Namibia and gives you a good visual tour. However, it does not compare with other guides that give much more detailed information. This is a good introduction and almost a good memento because of the wonderful photographs. However, this would not be a book that I would bring along on a trip as a guide.
