 bradt guide is better May 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After having read both the Bradt and the Lonely Planet (LP) guide I can say that the Bradt guide, which is also available on amazon, is much better. Not that the LP guide is bad; in fact it provides a lot of information, which is why I give it 4 stars whereas I rated the Bradt guide 5 stars. The Bradt guide provides much more details about lodges/hotels it recommends and the presentation of information and maps are just much better
Lonely Planet vs. Rough Guide June 29, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was traveling with friends in Tanzania. I had the Lonely Planet and one of my friends had the Rough Guide. Lonely Planet is a good book but when it came down to the book that we REALLY found indespensible and would stay up at night reading -- the Rough Guide Tanzania won. Lonely planet is good, yes, but Rough Guide contained much more cultural information. It depends on what you are looking for. We are students and we were working in Tanzania. Rough Guide was better for the daily living and budget stuff. If you're just a tourist, Lonely Planet is perfectly acceptable.The Rough Guide to Tanzania, Edition Two (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
 This was a great guide!!! April 3, 2007
I just returned from Tanzania and this book provided all the information I needed on the different safaris, Masai tribe, Zanzibar/Stone Town, places to eat, etc. It was a great guide!
Great guide book March 10, 2007
Lonely planet tops the genre. Really only good for if you are going or you want to understand what a friend or family member is likely to encounter there.
Best there is! January 25, 2007

Since I'm an independent traveler, I always purchase a few tour guides when in the planning process of my next trip around the world and Lonely Planet's guides have never let me down. I've purchased Lonely Planet's tour guides for Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Peru, Ecuador and Tanzania and have yet to be disappointed with any of them. They are easy to read, straight forward and give "off the beaten track" things to do, where to stay and eat. I have only 1 complaint and this is that I feel some guides may need to be updated more often so the information is current. The Tanzania guide book gave me some excellent information and ideas that turned our trip to East Africa into a fantastic experience.
