Comprehensive guide to Namibia - Rated
The Footprint has covered Namibia in depth from the popular parks to the off the beaten 4x4 trails. The detailed accommodation reviews were helpful when making a choice of where to stay, and the expansive section on Swakopmund pays the town much more attention than other guides. It also indicates if places are worth going to or not, something other guides do not do, so was very helpful for pre organising an itinerary ahead of visiting.
Poor in many ways - Rated
Much of this book is useful. It is, however, badly let down by notable practical omissions (e.g. for exactly where in certain parks you need to buy permits in advance-meaning you arrive without one) and by appaling proofreading. Parts of the background chapter are unreadable due to entire paragraphs being inserted into the middle of other sentences. It reads like a bad cut and paste job. Furthermore, some of the information has not been adapted for a book specifically on Namibia, e.g. the inclusion of animals only found in East Africa. On the other hand, the vast birdlife of Namibia is hardly mentioned. Sadly I would advise buying a different book (eg Lonely Planet or Bradt) even if they are much older. It is a shame that the book has been finished so poorly as much of the information provided is accurate and helpful.
