A truly informative guide about safaris in general, specific countries and safari companies. Tells you what to look for-best companies, lodging,guides, locations,etc. I found it very useful in planning where, when, and how I want to go.

Lots of good, useful information. Much of it proved useful in the planning of our recent African vacation. The safari lodges, restaurants and acommodations that Fodor's discusses tend to be exclusively at the very high end of the price scale. This rather limits the book's usefulness for those of us with a more restrictive budget. These days there's plenty of useful information available free on the internet so the utility of traditional travel guide books is rather diminished.

This is a very helpful and comprehensive overview of safaris/wildlife tours in Africa. It deals with all parts of the continent. In addition to tips on wildlife it has information about cultures, climates, places which are less safe for Westerners, diseases and necessary immunizations and medications, something about city life, and much more. For the person who is in the beginning stages of planning a wildlife trip to Africa, it's very helpful. For the person who has already decided on a specific country and/or a specific tour, Fodor's Guide may be too general - but it's still helpful. Highly recommended

The Kindle edition is missing information from the print edition, specifically maps. It has the detail maps of individual parks, but not the overall Africa Safari Map, or maps of individual countries. Most people don't have a good idea of the relationship between the various locations and not having the maps limits the usefulness of the book for planning.

Just getting started reading this guide, and so far so good. Thumbing around it gets even better. This is a good source of beginning information. I do plan on using a proper travel agent to make my final arrangements, but thanks to this well written and organized guide I will know what I want to see and do. AND what I need to do in preparation for the experience.
