Fodor's The Complete Guide to African Safaris: with South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, and Victoria Falls (Full-color Travel Guide) Paperback – March 7, 2023

This book compliments another book which was purchased for an upcoming safari. What I like about this is that in true Fodor's style it gives great details about safaris all across the continent of Africa.

We are going on a safari and wanted some tips. Printed books for travel are easy to haul around in locations where we won't have internet access.

I was skeptical about how helpful a safari guidebook could be when it covers 8 countries/destinations at only 520ish pages, but I was happily surprised! They provided a ton of helpful information on local and international tour operators, ways to save money that aren't your typical "visit in the off-season" tips, and laid everything out by country, region, and national park. Was prepared to have to return, but will definitely be keeping this book!

Good information!

Well organized and very helpful

We travel frequently and have been to 40+ countries. We have not been to anywhere in Africa. This book is very helpful when planning a trip to the continent, especially if planning a safari. There is a lot of information that is different from “normal” travel. This book helped to educate me before contacting a travel agent. Would also allow you to plan most of a vacation on your own as well.

Bought this book because I was preparing for a trip to Africa. There are not a lot of great travel guides for Africa, and this was fine as a starting point, but this was not as useful as e.g. a Rick Steve's Europe book.

Planning an African Safari this is a wonderful guide to pick up. It has recommendations of local tour operators, details of all the animals, parks and countries you might plan to visit. I will be bringing the book with me on the trip. It's worth the weight added to the carry on.
