Reader Reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Tanzania, Zanzibar & Pemba (Lonely Planet Tanzania) (Paperback) The Lonely Planet produces excellent travel guides, and their Tanzania/Zanzibar edition is no exception. I have used this book on four different trips, and found it indispensible. The guide does an admirable job describing the popular tourist stops (the game parks, Zanzibar's Stone Town, etc.), but its real strength lies in giving the details necessary to take the roads less travelled. I have found the hotel prices in the guide to be remarkably accurate, though naturally some things have changed. The "getting there and away" sections provide options for transportation to and from cities and towns; while the range of alternatives generally stays the same, departure times and prices can change drastically. Always plan on things taking longer than you expect. Tanzania and Zanzibar are amazing places to visit, and the Lonely Planet will give you the means to make the most of your trip.
