I selected the Frommer's travel guide to South Africa while planning my trip because I always heard how superior a guide it was.
As far as information goes, it definitely has it. I plan on taking this guide with me to Africa because it is full of interesting and helpful details.
However, the drawback for me is that it would go on and on and on about all these great things about the country, but there were no pictures! And reading a travel guide is not like reading a novel where you can let your imagination roam. I wanted to see what I was going to be getting myself into since I would be spending 2 weeks in a foreign country with no idea what to expect. I would read something in the Frommer's guide, then have to look up pictures on the internet.
Like I said, I do plan on taking this guide with me when I go to South Africa, but as far as actually planning the trip, it was not very helpful because I couldn't see what it was describing. If you're looking for a better South Africa travel guide, try DK Eyewitness Travel on South Africa. Much better.
