Hello,
Fodors is great once you have some idea what's going on, but a guidebook is better for background and general information.
For Botswana, get the Bradt guide to Botswana -- it's head and shoulders above the rest.

For Cape Town, the best guide I've found is the Time Out Guide to Cape Town.

Sorry, posted before I finished.
I know I have a Bradt Botswana guide around here someplace but I can't find it...
The Namibia one definitely has sections on History, Economy, People and Culture...

I really ought to get my thoughts fully together before I post.
Other guide series to consider include Footprint and Insight - each series has strengths and weaknesses so I usually make sure I have at least two for most places I visit. I trawl book warehouse outlet shops reasonably often as they often have recent editions of travel guides and if I see any for destinations I'm considering I buy them. Then I buy one new, updated guide when planning the trip and I'm set!

Susan,
Yes, the Bradt guide contains everything you are looking for and more........including a detailed description of all the camps.....
Some small errors......like the Kwando section says, hard to find cheetahs at the Kwando camps.....but that's not true......
