Extremely useful guide to tour this magnificient country wit
The Namibia handbook is a very useful, up-to-date travelguide, giving you all the necessary information. The size is ideal for backpackers and the hardback prevents the book from damaging. All hotels, restaurants, camp-sites, safari-companies etc. are mentioned, together with their telephone-numbers and if available, a short description based on travel experiences by earlier readers of the book.

Fabulous country, great guidebook
I usually buy Lonely Planet guides but have been getting bored with their formulaic structure so I thought I'd give Footprint a try. On the whole, I thought the guide was quite well-written. I also liked the organization of the book (better than Lonely Planet) -- beginning with a brief overview of the regions, highlights and possible itineraries, following with essential information and regional listings and ending with the background info (history, culture, wildlife) that you can read after the rush to organize a trip or while you're on the road.

The information is ample, there are many maps throughout with impressive amounts of detail, and it's a reasonable size and is durable and well-bound. The only drawback is the limited number of photos... but Namibia is so gorgeous, you'll have plenty of your own!
