4-0 out of 5 stars Senegal and Gambia
I had to do a project on Senegal. And this book helped me a lot, even though I'd like most of the information to be on Senegal instead of Gambia. The book will really help you if you are a traveller going to one of the countries. The part about pickpockets was very interesting as it tells me about the best way to be robbed in Senegal. Overall, this book covers everything, from local slangs to foods eaten. It deserves a four star!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent: condensed, useful, and great reading
In many cases, the coverage offered by Lonely Planet guidebooks may be hampered by the magnitude of the region they try and cover. This is why for example, in "Lonely Planet West Africa" (a bulky book which also covers Senegal and the Gambia), coverage of each single country is brief and not always perfect, and the reader is often lost among facts and information she or he does not need. Instead, in this much smaller and far more condensed guidebook, the author and editors have managed to put as much information and data as possible into it, about Senegal and the tiny Gambia. Coverage of both countries is excellent, providing up-to-date, accurate information and sensible advice, on anything from places to stay and eat, things to do and see, things to buy, and basically anything the traveller may wish to know. The coverage on culture, society, arts, music, and other information, is also excellent and wide, written in great prose and style. This is probably one of the best Lonely Planet guidebooks I have come across, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone travelling to those two countries. It will be an extremely useful tool, and will also provide great reading about the places being visited. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Magical prose reflecting on excellent adventures
The first time I picked up Peter's excellent work I flipped open to the middle and began reading aboutguerillas in Venezuelan mountains, and thought to myself, "This isn't something I want to read about." I laid it back down.Shame on me!I almost missed a real treat. Recently, I was given a copy as a going away present before moving back stateside from the Virgin Islands, and from the time I opened it on the ferry ride from St. Thomas to St. John I scarcely laid it down, save to sleep. I found myself totally mesmerized by Peter's magically descriptive prose that indelibly imprinted on my mind's eye scenes of the excellent adventures he shares here. His unique perspectives on life aboard his homebuilt sailing vessel, Breath, sailing around the Caribbean and beyond,from the miraculous recovery of his boat dog, Santos, after losing him at sea, to raising his sons on a boat had me alternately laughing out loud and then in tears. The lively manner with which he shares his stories, as if talking to a close friend, captivated me, and his anecdotes re-conjured for me the essence of the sea faring life that I have so loved.Thank you, Peter, for sharing your sojurn with us all.

5-0 out of 5 stars Sail away! Sail away! Sail away!
I thoroughly enjoyed ADRIFT ON A SEA OF BLUE LIGHT.Peter Muilenburg's writing style, and the very words themselves drew me into the boat and onto the sea with Peter and his family.Sometimes I would read the chapters to my husband, prefaced with "Listen to how eloquently he words this!" or "Listen to this story!".My husband jumped on board, reading the book himself, enjoying it equally. We had our own Book Club!
5-0 out of 5 stars Peter Muilenburg enlightens and entralls
Mr. Muilenburg has truly led a wonderful life and has described it beautifully in his book!After reading his collection of short stories I want to visit the places he's been and leave everything behind to go sailing!I recommend this book to anyone, anywhere, and of any age! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars fascinating and funny
If you ever go to Gambia, this is the book to get, together of course with the ubiquitous Lonely Planet.Hudson, a young adventurer, spent 14 months in a Mandingko village, observing and commenting on the daily life. Amazingly, he was allowed to join one of the women's societies... so he followed them around, participated in their dances, field work and intrigues and documented this stuff in OGD. Hudson shows that African women are, although destined to a life of hard work, circumcission & mostly unhappy arranged marriages, far from helpless creatures. They are economically independent, they are free to choose their lovers, they sing and they dance:4-0 out of 5 stars OUR GRANDMOTHERS'DRUMS
This travel book does not move from the village of Dulaba in the Gambia but it uncovers a truly fascinating web of social life,customs,intrigue,obligation, initiation, sex and much more - it takes you to the heart of Africa .AMUST for anyone heading for the 'dark continent'. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very useful
The most comprehensive travel guide I've seen. Hundreds of useful practical hints, explanations of cultural background and important things to remember for "whites" in order not to hurt or offend the traditional, mythical or religious beliefs, which are all very strong over there. I have travelled in West Africa myself, before reading this book, and found that it really shows the most important details to consider. Framed boxes in the text make it easy to find the essential tips. It is also valuable, that it shows how to travel cheaply, nothing about the luxurious hotels, more of the budget type of stuff.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
I would also have to agree that this book was very well written, with a great deal of relavent information on The Gambia. I highly recomend this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent and up-to-date Senegal/Gambia guidebook!
Highly recommended! We just returned from our fourth trip to Senegal, and we found the Lonely Planet guidebook to be highly accurate and easily usable. It is well written and includes much helpful cultural informationin addition to all the necessary facts. Don't leave for Senegal withoutit!!!! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Sensitive View of a Fascinating Place
This is the most carefully and accurately written travel guide, and thus the most useful, that I have encountered in nearly four decades of traveling. It is also the most sensitive statement of The Gambia and its people I could imagine. I have been visiting the country since the mid-1970s, and was just there in early 2003. I found out that Emms and Barnett are respected wildlife experts who have taken up residence in The Gambia who advise the Gambian government, when it will listen, on matters pertaining to wildlife, ecology, and conservation. They care about The Gambia and its people. What all of this means for travelers is that they have recently visited each restaurant, hotel, and museum (and bar) they write about, driven each road, bartered for each item purchased. For every place I visited, over two months, their advice was on the money. And I would purchase the book even if not traveling, because it gives a wonderfully accurate sense of Gambian history and culture.My hat is off to Emms, Barnett, and the Bradt folks for giving us this book. Don't leave home (for The Gambia) without it. ... Read more
