Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 4 of 5  Good for knowing more about this country   2009-12-07
By Que Tal Carolyn (Now living in Illinois, formerly on a boat in the Sea of Cortez)
When we travelled to Mali in 2007, this was the only guide book on the market (I don't know if there are others now or not) that dealt just with Mali. Lonely Planet has one on West Africa, but that was just too bulky to lug around. We were with a group, so weren't using this to plan the trip, just as background. It worked well for that and was as accurate as any guide book ever is, considering that things are always changing.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Most comprehensive travel guide to Mali   2009-08-02
By Harvey Follender
Other travel guides cover all of Africa or all of West Africa. The entire Brandt Guide book covers only one country, Mali. Therefore, there is more actionable information on Mali including more town maps and descriptions of villages and tribal markets where you can find traditional life untouched by modern ways. There is also more depth and more insight. The author seems to have more connection to Mali. This is more valuable than having a guide with a more recent publication date. Published on quality paper, the pages are denser and heavier than others but indespensible for navigating along the path less traveled. Traveling on your own, I wouldn't go without it. You would risk bypassing places that would cause you post-travel regrets.

I bought this for a friend's teenager going on school trip. She found it very useful preparing for the trip and used it often while traveling.
