• Good Resource 19 December, 2007
I always fear buying a guide book as most are out of date before they get printed. Fortunately this was released only a few months before my trip, so it was in much better shape. All the prices are out to lunch, but the listings themselves are pretty accurate. Maps are OK. Didn't check the Botswana part as I was just travelling in Namibia. Came across a few B&B's listed that don't do Breakfast... Still it was a good resource to carry along and I used Lonely Planet's online Thorn Tree for getting up to date info

• Not The Best Namibia Guide 05 May, 2008
I've used Lonely Planet guides for trips a number of times, and always found them to be the best for independent travelling. After finding out that I was going to be in Namibia for an extended period of time, I immediately bought the Lonely Planet guide to Namibia/Botswana. The book is OK - fine, but is not as extensive or accurate as Lonely Planet guides I've used before. I didn't get the sense that the authors are that familiar with Namibia, at least in comparison to the authors of other Lonely Planet books. I have since bought every other guide to Namibia that is out there, and now after being in Namibia and travelling extensively for awhile, I have to admit that the Lonely Planet is the last book I choose off the shelf when planning an excursion or just general curiosity about the country (Bradt guide is the first). I haven't been to Botswana yet, so cannot comment on how good this book is for this neighboring country. So, this guidebook is OK, but not great.
