National Geographic Traveler: South Africa, 3rd Edition

It provide me valuable information prior and during my trip to South Africa. A great guidance for planning what you want to see, when and where you want to take picture to enrich your travel experiences.

We visited S. Africa and this book was a wonderful guide. The descriptions and maps were very helpful. It gave us lots of information about the country. The pictures were great also.

Really a beautifully-shot book, as of course it should be from National Geographic. I got a pile of books from the library to plan our vacation, but this one was so good that I decided to buy it and take it with us as a guide.

Great book for information for a trip to South Africa.

This was purchased as a Birthday Gift for someone who is going to South Africa. She was very pleased, and felt this book would be helpful to her on her journey.

This is a valuable resource for an upcoming trip to the country. I like it for the photos and overall information.

The item arrived on time and as described.

We just returned from 3.5 weeks in South Africa, traveling by rental car while there. Bought this in addition to the Rough Guide and used the Rough Guide way more. This book only provided skim views over each region, and since we mostly stuck to a particular region in the country, it was limited for us. I was surprised and disappointed that as a Nat Geo publication, there was no animal section to consult throughout the trip. I suppose the book would be fine as an initial planning tool to give you an overview of what the country has to offer, but as an on-the-ground travel book, it isn't as specific as others, making it less useful for the day-to-day experience of travel. Go for the Rough Guide if you want a book you can use while there.
