Very helpful
I am planning to use them again for my subsequent trips to other regions. Detailed guidebook, good recommendations on local guides to use (we tried their recommendation of the township tour in Cape Town), places to stay and things to do.

Great guide, esp. in comparison to the LP
We had both the LP and the Rough Guide and although it was nice to have both, I would recommend the Rough Guide if you were just going to choose one book. I lived in SA for about 5 months. I found the Rough Guide to be a little more accurate in the prices listed and the organization to be far superior to the LP. The LP was helpful with more general information, but the Rough Guide provided more information on the little, out of the way places. If you plan on using hostels, it is imperative to pick up a Coast to Coast after arriving. It is a compelation of hostels, organized by area, that is put out by the hostels of SA. It also includes hostels in Swaziland, Lesotho, and Mozambique. Most hostels involved with the book have free copies that you can take.

Tells you all you need to know
The book doesn't waste your time by making recommendations and then slating them (as other guide books tend to do). A well researched book giving all the tips and hints that one needs to know about South Africa.
