Disappointing to say the least (3/3 people found this helpful)
I had access to the Footprint of Namibia as well as this Lonely Planet guide for the last 19 days in Namibia. Being an avid LP guide user for many years it was my first choice, but I have to say it was eclipsed by the Footprint guide, and a downright disappointment at times. So much information I looked for was either missing or worse, wrong. Given that it is a 2007 edition I was amazed to discover that a bridge built over the Zambezi in 2004/5 to access Zambia from Namibia was missing. LP stated there was still a ferry only across the river, and as a result I would have driven via Botswana and Zimbabwe instead had I not had the Footprint.
I have also decided I don't like the way they always quote prices in US dollars - why not in the local currency??
My bookshelf supports a number of LP guides for the Middle East, S America and other places, but in future I'm going to try Footprints instead.
Sorry Lonely Planet - you've lost one customer here.
