This book is terrible! Yes it tells you very briefly about places, but not really where they are. I looked up a place then turned to the map reference given, to find I was then given another page number to check, which was useless. I looked at the book several times before traveling and never even found any details how to get from the airport to the city... A must for a starting point I feel. I have used the Rough Guides in the past, with no problems, I will be sticking to them in future! If your going to Berlin use the internet instead of this book..it all you need.

This book was invaluable when travelling in East Africa. The layout is easy to understand and it has basic country history, language and local information, as well as information about East Africa in general.
There is not as much detain in the single East Africa book as in each individual country book, and although this was in some ways irritating it was useful when making last minute travel plans. Guide books are not widely available in east Africa, but it was easy to change plans to suit our requirements with the book covering the whole area.
I would recommend a more specialised book for exploring one country in more depth, or to accompany this one.

Having visited Madagascar several times in recent years Ive used a number of guide books so I was eager to see what this new edition of the Lonely Planet Madagascar & Comoros guide book is like.

Perhaps its main advantage is its size. Its pretty small, so if baggage space is at a real premium this could be an advantage for you. However the small size comes at a cost - much of the information is not very detailed. Its largely the sort of information you might easily find out yourself travelling without a guidebook. And remember, a quarter of this book is about the Comoros - not useful if you're only going to Madagascar.
(I should mention here that I have never been to the Comoros, so if you're considering buying this for ... Read More:

This book starts with full Kenya map on page 3. First 72 pages deal with getting started with history, culture, tribes of Kenya,environment and Safaries. Next few pages deal with wildlife seen, pictures of animals and birds and food and drink. Then the book goes on to different areas of Kenya. These should be read as referance.
