I always rely on Lonely Planet

I have travelled to around 100 countries and 1000 places over the decades and I always consult the Lonely Planet Guides. The Guides are not designed for luxury travellers but they are ideal for those who wish to get closer to the realities and excitement of different cultures. I have recently purchased the West Africa guide as I am about to return to what is one of my favourite parts of the world. Well done Lonely Planet.
