For the UK This new tenth edition of Bradt's Zanzibar, Pemba and
Mafia remains the most in-depth guide available to these exotic and
alluring islands. Thoroughly updated following extensive
on-the-ground research, accommodation listings are near
comprehensive, with over 300 properties spanning all budget levels
featured, many newly built and the vast majority not featured in
other guides. Bradt's Zanzibar also offers for more detailed
coverage of the islands' cultural, historic and environmental
status than other guides, and the authors make a point of featuring
more ethically- minded hotels, tour operators and activities, from
fair- trade shopping opportunities to marine awareness guidelines.
All maps have been accurately updated with every property, major
attraction, eatery and road recorded using GPS. No other guidebook
provides this level of guidance. Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia have
become increasingly accessible dream destinations. All offer some
wonderful beach resorts catering to most styles and budgets, but
they also offer superb diving and snorkelling, while
Swahili-related cultural highlights range from the history-steeped
alleys of Zanzibar Stone Town to a scattering of evocative ruins
spanning several centuries, and the more low-key fishing villages
that line the coast. Bradt's Zanzibar is the most frequently
updated book on the islands: the authors are personally known in
the region for their face-to-face research methods and this is the
book of choice for hoteliers and expatriate workers/residents on
Zanzibar. The guide also includes a dedicated section on southern
Tanzanian safaris in the Selous/Nyerere and Ruaha National Parks,
making this the ideal choice for a bush and beach combination.
This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Northern
Tanzania Safari Guide remains the only full-length guidebook
focussed exclusively on the country's north and on Zanzibar.
Reflecting tourism's shift away from backpackers and budget camping
safaris to upper-end and mid-range safaris and beach holidays, it
is tailored closely to the requirements of anyone going on a safari
to northern Tanzania, followed by a few days on Zanzibar. Northern
Tanzania is dominated by Africa's finest safari circuit, offering
spectacular game-viewing year round. Centred on the legendary
Serengeti National Park and its world-famous wildebeest migration,
this circuit also incorporates the Ngorongoro Crater and
surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara and
Tarangire national parks. Geographically northern Tanzania is one
of Africa's most varied regions, with a palm-fringed Indian Ocean
coastline complemented by the scenic wonders of the Great Rift
Valley, and several impressive volcanically formed mountains, most
notably snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa
and a popular goal for hikers. Lesser-known gems include the
prehistoric rock art at Kondoa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the
forested Arusha National Park and Amani Nature Reserve, and the
spectacular Ol Doinyo Lengai - Africa's most active volcano.
Serviced by a well-developed safari industry, northern Tanzania's
superlative reserves are complemented by a stopover on the
legendary Spice Island of Zanzibar. With its atmospheric old town,
idyllic beaches and offshore reefs teeming with marine life, it is
every bit as evocative as its name. Written by acknowledged Africa
experts and prolific guidebook writers Philip Briggs and Chris
McIntyre, this guide prioritises practical information about the
area's peerless collection of national parks, game reserves and
other safari destinations. Accommodation listings for the safari
destinations are the most detailed and authoritative available, the
authors weeding through the ever-growing number of lodges and camps
to create a critically selective list of the best properties across
all price points. Meanwhile, a colour wildlife field guide provides
great detail about wildlife and where to see it. All in all,
Northern Tanzania Safari Guide is the most authoritative source
available for visitors - an essential travel companion for both
first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.
This new edition of Bradt's Botswana remains the only full-blown,
standalone guide to one of Africa's most popular and rewarding
safari destinations. Acclaimed by tour operators and travel writers
alike, this is the only guide to focus on the most popular tourist
areas of Botswana: the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and the
Northern Kalahari, and this new edition includes a new full-colour
wildlife guide, backed up by detailed flora and fauna information
for each safari area. Fully updated accommodation options, from top
lodges in the Okavango Delta to small guesthouses (including many
new to this edition) are also included, as are detailed maps,
comprehensive GPS coordinates (invaluable to self-drivers) and
coverage of Livingstone and the Victoria Falls - ideal as an add-on
trip to a safari in Botswana With this guide, explore one of the
world's most stunning wildlife destinations, read up on superb
safari lodges, from traditional tented camps to those offering
five-star luxury and top-class cuisine, and make the most of the
excellent birding (with almost 600 species identified). Also
included are details of how to arrange mobile safaris around the
national parks and reserves with your own guide, often staying in
private campsites; boat cruises on the Chobe River, where herds of
elephant cross every evening; and when and how to view one of the
great gatherings of zebra on the Makgadikgadi Pans. Botswana's
wilderness is pristine. The permanent waters of the Okavango Delta
attract year-round wildlife, now including all the 'big five' - the
rhinos are back thanks to a successful re-introduction programme.
Spreading out from the Delta, Botswana has tremendous variety, from
the arid Kalahari to lush, well-watered forest glades and the broad
Chobe River. And then there's Botswana's rich history, from the
ancient rock paintings at the Tsodilo Hills, to Stone Age
arrowheads on the Makgadikgadi Pans. Written and updated by
experts, Bradt's Botswana is the definitive companion to
discovering this enchanting destination.
For over 25 years Bradt's Zambia Safari Guide has been widely
acknowledged as the best guidebook to this African country, and it
is now the only dedicated guide to Zambia's world-renowned safari
destinations. Combining in-depth reviews of lodges, camps and other
accommodation (from a stately home to a contemporary woven
treehouse), detailed descriptions of safari locations and
operators, extensive practical details, local insights, a brand new
40-page colour wildlife guide and curated coverage of the main
access points of Lusaka and Livingstone, this is the 'must-have'
guidebook to travel planning and exploring the country's
wildlife-rich safari regions. Lying in the heart of the continent,
Zambia is deepest, darkest Africa at its most appealing. Many
visitors are drawn initially to the majestic Victoria Falls. Others
come for the glory of Zambia's stellar national parks: the South
Luangwa, the Lower Zambezi and Kafue. For seasoned safari goers,
Zambia is the home of the walking safari; for adventurous
travellers, it is about canoeing past hippos on the Lower Zambezi -
or diving into a whole new world of freshwater fish in Lake
Tanganyika. Experienced travel writers Chris and Susie McIntyre -
both Africa experts, with Susie having grown up in Zambia - use
their decades of safari experience and in-depth knowledge of the
Zambian safari scene to provide accurate, honest and upbeat
descriptions, anecdotes and advice. To help readers make informed
choices, the authors explain where to find top-quality guiding and
detail Zambia's top spots for wildlife and wilderness (including
GPS co-ordinates for those who prefer self-drive holidays). They
advise on the best walking safaris plus the 'silent safaris'
available in electric vehicles and boats, and suggest how best to
combine different safari experiences into a fulfilling itinerary in
a country where nearly one-third of the land area is reserved for
wildlife. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast or Africa addict,
an escapist seeking wilderness or a family craving adventure; and
whether you prefer a local operator to make your arrangements or
independent travel, Bradt's Zambia Safari Guide is the perfect
travel companion.
This new thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Namibia remains the
essential guide for a successful visit to this vast country - more
than twice the size of Germany but with less than 3% of the
population. Written by expert author and long-standing tour
specialist Chris McIntyre, this sixth edition incorporates all the
most recent changes, including unrivalled coverage of places to
stay and eat, from small, personal guesthouses to classy hotels and
upmarket game lodges, and detailed information for self-drivers
(including personally researched and checked GPS coordinates) as
well as for fly-in and guided safaris. There's also in-depth
coverage of wildlife and where to see it, including a new
full-colour wildlife field guide section, covering mammals,
reptiles and amphibians, marine life and birds. Two background
chapters covering everything from history and politics to people,
ethnic groups and culture are complemented by two chapters on
planning, preparation, health and safety and two on the
practicalities of getting around and camping and walking in the
bush (including canoeing). Helping you to discover Namibia in
detail, 13 chapters offer a regional breakdown, from the capital,
Windhoek to the Southern Kalahari, Namib desert, Swakopmund,
Skeleton Coast, Etosha National Park, and the Kavango and Zambezi
regions in the extreme northeast, including excursions into
neighbouring Botswana. With sweeping landscapes and empty roads,
Namibia has long captured the imaginations of travellers and
photographers. Its immense emptiness offers majestic sand dunes,
seemingly endless gravel plains, vast tracts of farmland and rugged
mountains hiding galleries of ancient Bushman rock art. Add to this
the wildlife and the unexpected beauty of the rivers that define
the country's northern and southern boundaries, and it's easy to
see why Namibia attracts lovers of the great outdoors.
