West Africa: The Rough Guide (Rough Guide Travel Guides) [Idioma Inglés] - Softcover

NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

This comprehensive revision of this guide covers all 16 West African nations, plus Southern Algeria and Cameroon. Individual coverage of every country amounts to a complete guide to each one, useful for travellers on business or pleasure, travelling for a short period or based in West Africa for a long duration. This book contains specific practical guides to eating and drinking, fruit and vegetables, media, music, advice on handling West African sexual attitudes, useful phrases and word lists in over 30 languages - with contributions by female writers and travellers and a conscious effort throughout to address readers of both sexes. Ouagadougou, Praia, Bissau, Conakry, Nouakchott and all the better-known capitals are given pages of full and serious coverage. Where cities can't be fully enjoyed - few business travellers relish a trip to Lagos - the Rough Guide charts strategies for survival (and entertainment). Every national park is covered with details on how to visit, where to stay and what you can hope to see. Articles are included on the historical, cultural and political background, with topics such as wildlife in the bush, nightlife in the towns, plus recent political developments.
