5.0 out of 5 stars Dripping with great info, May 27, 2009

By	Karen Kent "KKT" (Winchester VA USA) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderfully informative book, filled with something for everyone. I bought the book primarily for the history chapters -- I'd just returned from a trip to Namibia and wanted to know more about the country. And I became well-educated thanks to this book. But there's so much more -- travel recommendations, weather, culture, maps, photos, everything a traveler will want to know before going. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Namibia, not just those traveling to the country.

It's a great book. Has about everything you'd want to know before going to Namibia. And it looks like it will be a welcome travel companion as well.
