The Rough Guide To West Africa by Rough Guides
The Rough Guide to West Africa is the most comprehensive available guide to all the visitable countries in West Africa, from Mauritania and the Cape Verde Islands in the west to Niger and Cameroon in the east. A full-colour 16-page introductory essay highlights the region's attractions, picks out the various route and travel options and touches on some of the great range of cultural and scenic impressions that any visit will make. Each chapter covers the relevant country with enthusiastic attention to detail, including special attention to the practicalities of travel, thoroughly researched hotel and restaurant listings, and a carefully researched background on wildlife and the environment, culture, history, politics and music.
