 Rating: - Gave a better insight than the Lonely PlanetReally great guidebook - the most important & informed guide for Madagascar. Took both this & the Lonely Planet with us during our month's trip to Mad, but felt we got far more out of this amazing, magical country thanks to the Bradt Guide. Rating: - Happy reader of Madagascar's wonders!I think this book is extremely informative, not only as a useful guide book but it is also very fascinating just to read. I haven't been to Madagascar yet, but I already feel as if I know a lot about it. It has lots of advice from recent travellers, and bits from all kinds of different people, such as wildlife experts, doctors etc, and is very up to date. I would say a must if you are planning a trip to Madagascar. Rating: - Captivating!There's something magical about this book - it's more than just a travel guide. I've been travelling a lot in many different countries so I've probably used 40 different guide books over the years... I've been to Madagascar twice now, travelling with different editions of this guide, and I would say it is my favourite travel guide of them all. That's a weird thing to say isn't it?

You just look up the information you need - the phone number for a restaurant maybe - then go on your way again. This is a normal guidebook in the sense that it lists hotels and restaurants and tour operators, and it has maps, and information ...

It was extremely helpful with regard to cultural differences, what life was like there etc, and definitely eased the transition. It was highly informative, and provided information which other guide books did not include-sometimes strange, or funny, but always interesting and full of useful advice. Madagascar is unique in so many ways, and this guide book has captured the soul of this beautiful, friendly island. It is obvious that Hilary Bradt loves Madagascar, and has visited on numerous occasions, always going off the well-worn tourist route to find something interesting and different. Even French tourists, who make up the majority of the tourists ... Read More: Rating: - I'd give it 6 stars if I could!I just got back from Madagascar... this guide was awesome... There is so much information on the animals especially, and the places to see them (which is why I went there mainly) but even if you're not interested in lemurs and chameleons this book is packed with info on the history and culture and everything else (Hilary Bradt has a really readable style too - it's not dry like most guide books) plus loads of maps and photos as well. |
