Product Description
Meticulously researched and beautifully written by a South African native, Frommer's South Africa, 5th Edition, should be the discerning reader's only guide to a memorable trip to southern Africa. The book includes coverage of the lion-rich reserves of Botswana and the wonders of Victoria Falls. It offers complete information on safaris, from what to wear to the top game lodges to tips from professional trackers. But there's so much more: - An exploration of Cape Town, one of the world's most beautiful cities, surrounded by mountains and sea, and the nearby picturesque Winelands country;
- Whale-watching and eating seafood on the Western Cape;
- Walking through carpets of flowers in Namaqualand plains after the first spring rains;
- Rafting or surfing the churning waters of the Zambezi River.
Frommer's South Africa, 5th Edition, gives you all that and much more, from the best places to stay and eat to expert advice on getting there, getting around, and having the trip of a lifetime!

 Life saver in South Africa August 23, 2008
Just returned from a 2 week trip to South Africa - this book was very helpful in finding places to stay, things to do, how to keep safe, etc. I took "The Eyewitness Guide" with me too, but that book was not very helpful.
I would also recommend you talk to someone who has been there and make sure you have local contacts. This is a crazy but beautiful country. Have a wonderful trip!

I have been to South Africa before and am heading back and needed more information and this book is very thorough and helpful.
 A disappointing entry in the Frommer series January 3, 2005

I travel extensively and am a fan of Frommer's guides which I generally find to have a nice assortment of options in varying price ranges. The volume on South Africa however, was a great disappointment. If Frommer's were to be believed, you had to pay $200 and up for a decent hotel room. Fortunately I have often traveled in South Africa, enjoyed its reasonably priced accomodations, and knew such prices were nonsense. I stayed in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and other top destinations in season for less than half that much. The guide also overlooked destinations a bit off the beaten path and proved of so little use to me that I didn't bother to pack it home with me. I strongly suggest the Eyewitness guide instead or just surf the web for tons of great information from the South African Tourism Board.

An excellent reference book for anyone visiting Southern Africa. We only found a few minor errors but the recommendations on where to go and what to see were very useful. We're looking forward to going again and will certainly take this book along. We didn't have enough time to see it all.

We visited South Africa for 20 days in July 2000, driving from Cape Town to Kruger. Before we left we sat down at a large book store and reviewed all their South African travel books. This one looked the best and proved to be very useful, particularly for accomodations. Some of the prices had changed but the standards and services were exactly as described. This is a great book for travellers who are above the backpacker/budget level but not up to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."
