Namibia's popularity as a safari and adventure-activity destination has taken off exponentially, with a corresponding increase in the range of options available to travellers. This second edition provides a thorough update of accommodation and activities on offer in game parks and towns alike, including detailed accommodation listings for guest farms, lodges and bush-camps. As well as desert activities including dune-boarding, ballooning and quad-biking, the coverage extends to the fascinating range of wildlife adapted to Namibia's climate, visiting bushman villages, eco-travel and exploring local culture. The picturesque capital of Windhoek is covered in detail, but the main bulk of the guide is given to the pristine yet accessible wilderness of Namibia - from the desolation of the Skeleton Coast and awesome Namib Desert to the lush Kavango and Caprivi Strip in the east. Some pioneering, self-drive routes have been added to the guide, with GPS co-ordinates and driving tips.

Summary: Bradt Travel Guide, the Second Edition
Comment: The Bradt Travel guide gave me a lot of information on the different areas of Namibia. My sons are planning a trip there next summer. This will give them an idea on the places they would like to see. It also gives you info on things that you may need to do before taking a trip to Namibia. I liked all the different information it gave me.

Summary: Great Guide To Namibia
Comment: The Bradt Guide has great detail about Namibia. It presents a comprehensive review with some recently updated information. It is the kind of guide that one would bring in touring the country. Good information about the sites and places to stay, as well as good detailed local maps make this a useful guide, particularly for those not traveling on an organized tour.

Summary: This 2nd edition already needs an update!
Comment: Having bought the Botswana guide I logged on to secure a copy of the new second edition of the Namibia guide, hoping for the same level of high quality up-to-date information...Sad to say some of the information is dated ... A couple of examples to illustrate: Sossusvlei is one of Namibia's most popular destinations. The road from Sessriem to the dunes has been sealed since 2000. The book mentions that "there is talk of sealing the road". Concerning Etosha, there is mention of Helios a long disused waterhole close to the Halali camp. This waterhole was closed before 1998! In mention of Andoni, north of the Namutoni camp, the author says that he has hardly ever seen any game in that area. This depends strongly on the time of your visit. At the end of the dry season September-November, VERY large concentrations of game can be seen in this area. Further in the Caprivi section of the book (last page) there is mention of the dispute between Namibia and Botswana over Kasikili/Sedudu Island. This dispute was settled by the International Court in Hague in december 1999. But not all is bleak, the guide, is VERY COMPREHENSIVE, and still makes an EXCELLENT choice for planning, as long as you check that the information is still current. Clearly some of the material is new to the second edition and thus is current...
