Book Reviews of Victoria Falls and Surrounds: The Insider's Guide
Book Review: Beautiful photography, but short on info
Summary: 3 Stars
A beautiful book and the photography is stunning. If I were to have bought this book for the photography alone, I would have been more than satisfied, but I didn't. I bought this book for information on an upcoming trip to sub saharan Africa, with Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side as part of the trip agenda.
While there are some interesting tidbits of info on all of the surrounding areas, it lacks the depth needed for well informed travel. Hotels, eating, culture, comprehensive maps, car rentals, guides, dangers, brushed upon at best, or not even mentioned.
Pretty to look at....but that's about it.
Summary of Victoria Falls and Surrounds: The Insider's Guide
Victoria Falls & Surrounds The Insider's Guide presents appealing safari destinations in Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana, within reach of Victoria Falls. It is loaded with local knowledge and practical tips for making the most of a holiday in this richly diverse tourist region: from spectacular game safaris to sophisticated beach lodges; from southern Africa's fascinating historical and cultural roots to Zimbabwe's modern day 'adrenaline capital,' Victoria Falls town, and its Zambian equivalent, Livingstone; from exploration and leisure sports on the breathtaking Zambezi River to a personal encounter with the spectacular Victoria Falls, also known as Mosi-oa-Tunya, 'the smoke that thunders.' In a lively and evocative style, the author paves the way for an unforgettable adventure with useful advice, contact names, and addresses, and even a selection of helpful phrases.General Books
