Extremely useful but also (2015 version) so out of date that some places don't exist and transit cannot be relied upon. Terriffic as a planning tool; I used it to figure out a three month trip through Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya. Just make sure to verify on the ground and have a backup plan.

As has been said before; good planning tool. I used it mainly for Kenya. But some of the advice about how to behave were laughed at by my Kenyan friends such as never eat with your left hand for eating (most people use both hands anyway). It might only be true for certain regions. I perceived Kenyans to be very open minded so don’t worry. Make sure you learn by watching others and don’t rely entirely on the book.
