5.0 out of 5 stars A great achievement, not up-to-date but still the best.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2001
Central Africa is almost undoubtedly the least touristic, among the inhabited region of our Planet - and unfortunately so, for it offers wonders that few other parts of the world can offer. You can paddle a canoe down a junge river for weeks on end, hunt with the Pygmies, climb an active volcano, come face-to-face with a mountain gorilla, trek through the snow-capped Mountains of the Moon, join a search for white rhinos, dance all night to Congo music, have a bath on the unique beaches of São Tomé & Principe... Due to the very limited touristic facilities of the region, it would appear that Lonely Planet has never re-printed this 1994 edition of the guidebook, nor published a new one. This is why, despite the fact that the book is clearly well out of date, it surely remains the best guide to the region. Its advice on hotels and restaurants may no longer be perfect, but its wide sections on culture and society, its maps, its general advice, remain irreplaceable tools for the traveler.

4.0 out of 5 stars To bad out-of-print

Lonely Planet now only covers these countries in the big Africa book. Perhaps insufficient demand for these countries. Happily you can order .pdf's for individual chapters of the Africa book from LP.

4.0 out of 5 stars The one and only for this area of the world

Wow, it's an old book, and it's really out of date. But it's the most comprehensive look you can get. Very frustrating, but useful nonetheless.

Ce livre était certainement très complet à la date de son édition : 1994. Toujours intéressant mais périmé...Merci quand même
