Customer Reviews

A must have book!

While travelling in SA for 4 motnhs I found this book amazingly helpfull. It had the best advices on how to save money, it had the best maps...I acctually knew more than the buss drivers sometimes and ended up advising them...hostels recommandations were great too. I have been looking into other guides to SA and found this one to be the absolute best.

Don't go to South Africa without it.

I made my first trip to South Africa last year and the book was excellent in recommending places to stay and visit. It gave me detailed descriptions of how to travel inside the country and how to get the best out of the travel in South Africa. The restaurants and the hotels were exactly as they were described in the book.

good book with up-to-date info on travelling in South Africa

The book gives -like the most of Lonely Planet books- detailed information on the subject (South Africa). Contains recent info on every aspect a traveller needs to know, prices, touristc information. Easy to read, easy to use on the spot . (I recognised this in most books of Lonely Planet)

Great book; packed with information

Used the first edition of this book for a trip to Cape Town and surrounding area in 1995. I found it to be excellent. I was able to book a cheap place to stay in advance, and learned about the culture and the people in LP's typical comprehensive but informal style.
