Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Kenya (Country Guide)
Book Review: Great guide - however...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used many of the Lonely Planet Guides on many of our travels, and this book is no exception to their other high quality books; the book provides background, advice and everything else you would expect from an LPG. Recent improvements have included better maps, more colour photos and a list of possible routes and top things to see. Very helpful for people that aren't planning to stay more that a couple of weeks.
The major problem with this book - and its really a problem with books in general, rather than the LPG, is that the prices in it are completely out of date; with the boom in oil prices, the fall in the dollar and the recent troubles in the country the amounts quoted for many things are very inaccurate. Overall a great book for a trip to Kenya, but use the internet before hand to get better pricing information.
