Superb Kenyan Travel Guide
If you are looking for a book that provides valuable information that can make your time in Kenya a wonderful experience . Then this is the book for you. I am happy with this purchase.
A bit out of date
This is a couple of years old so quite a few things are out of date (e.g. information about the train from Nairobi to Mombasa) but it was a useful guide overall. Could do with better maps.
Excellent guide
Full of good information.
