This is an exceptionally well written tour guide book for Zimbabwe. I really enjoyed the photographs and the maps of the regions of Zimbabwe. The maps are very detailed depending on which area you plan to visit. It talks about the people, the climate, the language, and the way of life. I especially enjoyed the historical background of the country. It brings you up to date with what is happening now in the country. It tells the specifics for traveling by air, rail, and car.Each section is divided up by a specific part of the country. Listed are accomodations, tours and excursions, where to eat, health hazards and annual events and useful telephone numbers.I highly recommend this as a take along for your trip to Zimbabwe. Enjoy the book before you travel.
