Bradt's Africa Overland is the result of over 40 years' experience
on the roads of Africa, Asia and South America, combining
everything you need to know about the Africa with all the practical
advice needed for tackling long-distance journeys under often
challenging conditions, be it by 4X4 or public transport. A massive
amount of background detail is included, from suggested routes for
reaching Africa - including via Asia or Saudi Arabia - to selecting
and shipping your vehicle, budgeting, equipment and spares,
organised tours, public transport, red tape and heaps of
information about issues likely to arise on the road: driving and
recovery techniques, maintenance, motorbike driving, bureaucracy,
borders and police checks. This new, fully updated edition covers
over 50 countries, as well as offering a focus on aspects such as
geography, vegetation and climate, natural history and
conservation, cultural interaction, religion and festivals. There's
lots of guidance about where to find all the latest information
both before you depart and while you're on the road, plus a guide
to countries on the return route through Asia and Europe: India,
Nepal, China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Poland. African
highlights include the Atlas Mountains and Sahara fringes in
Morocco, desert expeditions in Chad, River Nile culture in Egypt
and Sudan, the equatorial rain forests of central Africa, East
African game parks, and Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbabwe
border. In southern Africa, there's Angola, the Namibian desert,
and the Cape and diverse coastline of South Africa. As the authors
say: 'Africa is addictive. It is also changing fast, but a trip now
will still be a revelation.'
