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.
Now in its eighth edition, Bradt's Mozambique remains the most
established and sole standalone guide to this alluring African
country. In-depth coverage of wildlife, history, culture, and
diving and snorkelling is complemented by invaluable, up-to-date
practical advice on travel and accommodation, presented in an
easy-to-navigate geographical structure covering north, central and
southern Mozambique. Originally written by Philip Briggs, this new
edition has been updated by Africa experts Huw and Kate Hennessy,
authors of several previous Bradt guides. Mozambique is a country
of two halves. The tourism-savvy south offers romantic tropical
beaches, luxury lodges and world-class diving, plus the tree-lined
capital of Maputo, a city oozing Afro-Mediterranean flair. In
contrast, the less-developed north is one of Africa's last
frontiers, with excitingly vast game reserves and idyllic coastal
panoramas that entice intrepid travellers and those hankering after
barefoot luxury. With its national park set-up expanded and
refurbished, Mozambique looks set to reclaim its standing as one of
Africa's top safari destinations. Moreover, although one of the
continent's fastest developing tourist countries, it still offers
opportunities to experience 'quintessential Africa'. As Mozambique
approaches 50 years since independence, development boosted by one
of Africa's highest economic growth rates and a swift resurgence
following 2019's devastating cyclone are drawing tourists back to a
forest-clad interior descending to 2,500km of pristine,
palm-fringed coastline. Bradt's Mozambique reveals a country dotted
with natural, historical, cultural, and architectural wonders that
reflect a history that fuses exploration, trade, and culture.
Highlights include the UNESCO world heritage site of Ilha de
Mocambique, a 16th-century Arab and Portuguese trading post;
ancient rock art at Chinhamapere; adventurous journeys by train and
Arab dhow; the birdlife of Mount Namuli, accessed from the
tea-plantation town of Gurue; windsurfing in Pemba and surfing in
Tofo; and diving or snorkelling in biologically rich seas,
including around Bazaruto, home to some of Africa's last remaining
dugongs, five of the world's seven endangered sea turtle species,
and two thousand species of fish. Whether you are a culture vulture
or wildlife enthusiast, a watersports enthusiast or honeymooning
couple, the in-depth coverage and practical advice for all budgets
means that Bradt's Mozambique has everything you need to plan a
thrilling holiday.
Bradt's Uganda has for many years been considered the go-to source
of information for travellers heading to or interested in this
extraordinary country. This new ninth edition of the most
comprehensive guide available has been fully updated by Philip
Briggs, arguably the world's most experienced guidebook author and
certainly the most experienced writer on Africa, and also includes
a new full-colour wildlife section with over 100 colour
photographs. Mountain gorilla tracking is Ugandas most popular
activity and this new edition provides expanded coverage of
gorilla-tracking options, describing the gorilla groups and their
locations - in short, everything anyone who dreams of encountering
these remarkable primates needs to know. Accommodation listings and
descriptions have also been completely revised, taking into account
the rapid increase in choice of places to stay, and providing a
more critical appraisal of the best options in every price bracket.
Bradt's Uganda includes detailed maps of the country, updated or
created from scratch using GPS by the author, and this new edition
also offers increased coverage of Karamoja and the northeast, a
major growth area for tourism. Uganda boasts the most biodiverse -
and arguably most exciting - safari circuit in Africa, ranging from
the lush montane forests of Bwindi, which protect one of the
world's largest remaining populations of mountain gorillas, to the
tree-climbing lions of Queen Elizabeth National Park. Whether you
are visiting on safari, for birdwatching, white-water rafting on
the Nile or trekking some of Africa's highest mountains, Bradt's
Uganda remains the essential companion guide.
Co-authored by regional expert Sean Connolly and Philip Briggs, the
world's foremost guidebook writer on Africa, this third edition of
Bradt's The Gambia remains the most comprehensive guide available
to mainland Africa's smallest country. This new edition integrates
recent developments, from recently opened restaurants and hotels to
the new roads and bridges that make circumnavigating the country
easier than ever. The guide provides detailed coverage of ecolodges
and camps, information on festivals, music workshops and
opportunities to experience local culture, plus advice about
birdwatching possibilities in a country popular with first-time
birders to Africa. As well as encompassing popular coastal resorts,
the guide provides information required to explore the relatively
undeveloped interior and proposes excursions into neighbouring
Senegal, making it ideal for visitors on organised holidays and
independent travellers alike. Bradt's The Gambia reveals all the
practical information needed to explore arguably Africa's most
welcoming and safest country (not for nothing is it nicknamed the
'Smiling Coast') with its plethora of beach resorts, catering to
all tastes and budgets, that line the 80km stretch of tropical
coastline running from the capital Banjul to the remote southern
border. Small in size but rich in African character, The Gambia
offers perhaps the closest English-speaking 'winter sun'
destination from Europe. Justifiably popular with birdwatchers, the
lush mangrove- and jungle-fringed River Gambia is also home to
crocodiles, hippos, rehabilitated chimpanzees and various monkeys.
The Gambia offers rich heritage tourism for moderately adventurous
travellers, from the mysterious megalithic stone circles at Wassu
and Ker Batch to fortified James Island and the former
slave-trading village of Juffureh - the heart of novelist Alex
Haley's Roots country and part of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
And why not enhance your visit further by experiencing colourful
local markets, witnessing Kankuran and Kumpo spirit masquerades or
joining a kayak cruise from the sleepy river port of Janjanbureh,
or paying homage to The Gambia's inspiring journey towards
democracy and reconciliation at Memory House? All in all, Bradt's
The Gambia is the perfect companion for discovering this safe,
welcoming and tourist-friendly English-speaking country which
provides an ideal short-stay introduction to Africa's unique
atmosphere.
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.
Now into its eighth edition and written by Philip Briggs, the
world's leading author of African guidebooks, Bradt's Rwanda has
been the go-to guide for visitors to the 'Land of a Thousand Hills'
for more than 20 years. Still the only standalone guide in English
to this increasingly popular destination, it remains in a class of
its own for in-depth information. With fresh research into
developments across the country, Bradt's Rwanda includes expanded
coverage of Gishwati Makura National Park, which opened to tourism
in 2021, and up-to-date details of rapidly modernising Kigali,
considered Africa's cleanest city. Rwanda continues to change and
develop at an unprecedented pace - no country has a higher
proportion of female parliamentarians - and there's hardly a more
accessible part of Africa. It's no less intriguing for the
convenience, however, and Rwanda's superlative natural attractions
constantly improve, with growing animal populations, as in Akagera
National Park, where Africa's Big Five (rhino, lion, leopard,
elephant and buffalo) can be seen. This new edition also includes
extensive maps and natural history information, details of kayak
and canoe excursions on Lake Kivu and the Mukungwa River complement
advice about staying on tea plantations at Sorwathe or Gisovu. It
contains everything you need to know about tracking mountain
gorillas in Volcanoes National Park (workplace of primatologist
Dian Fossey of Gorillas in the Mist fame) and chimpanzees in
Nyungwe Forest National Park (East Africa's largest surviving
montane forest, harbouring numerous endemic birds and primates) and
Gishwati Makura (which is also the only location for the rare
golden monkey outside the Virunga mountains). Also covered are
Nyanza, with its hilltop Rukari Palace Museum; and the
National/Ethnographic Museum of Rwanda, the top cultural site in
Huye (Butare). A chapter on nearby cities and national parks
provides key necessary information to take an excursion into
neighbouring DRC, including how to see lowland gorillas. As not
only the most in-depth guide available in English, but also the
guide with the longest history in the country itself, Bradt's
Rwanda is the indispensable companion for visitors including
wildlife enthusiasts and Africa aficionados.
This indispensable guide offers all the information you need to get
the most out of wildlife watching in East Africa. Accessible and
beautifully illustrated, this revised second edition of Bradt's
much praised guide to East African Wildlife will appeal to both the
first-time visitor and to the serious naturalist seeking a compact
volume to carry around. Written by Africa expert Philip Briggs,
this guide provides a colourful overview of the region's variety of
large animals together with information on their habits and
habitats. The book also provides an excellent introduction to the
region's less heralded variety of smaller creatures including 1,500
bird species and butterflies. It also makes a great souvenir. The
wildlife of east Africa is the major visitor attraction of this
region, thanks to the legendary game reserves of Serengeti and the
Maasai Mara. Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on
regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and
often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive
watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an
introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside
suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go
and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately
engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides,
and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife
devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip.
This 8th edition of Bradt's Ghana remains the only dedicated
guidebook on the market and the most comprehensive source of travel
information on the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain
independence and the world's second-largest producer of chocolate.
Covering everything from Ghana's 550km of Atlantic coastline to its
remote and sparsely populated northern border with Burkina Faso,
this new edition has been thoroughly updated and is an ideal
companion no matter what your interests are. Written by Philip
Briggs, arguably the world's most experienced guidebook writer, it
covers everything from inexpensive opportunities to see wildlife to
cultural and historical aspects such as the slave trading posts.
Background, practical and health information are complemented by a
dedicated, illustrated chapter on wildlife, 63 maps and 18 chapters
split across five regional sections, from Accra and surrounds to
the coast, through eastern and central Ghana, right up to the
north. The popular Cape Coast and the Ashanti regions are both
covered, as is the increasingly high-profile Chale Wote Street Art
festival. Friendly, safe and inexpensive, Ghana is an ideal
destination for first-time visitors to Africa. It is rich in
little-visited national parks, forest reserves, cultural sites and
scenic waterfalls and blessed with bleached white beaches and the
lush rainforest of the Atlantic coastline. Bradt's Ghana is
accompanied by a dedicated, updated website run by the author
himself and caters for everyone from birdwatchers to bar-hoppers.
Whether you want to cruise the world's largest man-made reservoir,
Lake Volta, on a pokey old steamer, hike with elephants in Mole
National Park, or party all night in Accra's glittering Osu
district, Bradt's Ghana is an indispensable companion.
This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Suriname remains
the only dedicated English-language guidebook to this emergent and
largely unspoiled ecotourism destination and offers by far the
greatest depth of coverage available. It is also the first
guidebook in any language with a comprehensive section on the Upper
Suriname River, an exciting and remote area serviced by around 20
small lodges. Detailed coverage of all accessible parks and
reserves is included, including the three main marine-turtle
viewing sites and the Central Suriname Nature Reserve (a UNESCO
World Heritage Site), with information geared to people joining
organised tours as well as those who prefer the independent travel
approach. Also included are detailed maps and town plans - many of
which are unavailable in any other resource and have been drawn by
the author using GPS specifically for this book. Peaceful and
politically stable, Suriname is one of the world's most thinly
populated countries. Its Caribbean coastline is famed for its
peerless turtle-watching opportunities, while the interior is
swathed by a vast tract of pristine Amazonian rainforest,rich in
wildlife and accessible only by air or along the tropical waterways
that incise it. The guide includes a detailed introduction to the
diverse wildlife and intriguing history of the only former Dutch
colony in South America, along with detailed regional coverage of
the tropical coastline, the Historic Inner City of the culturally
diverse capital Paramaribo (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the
thrilling opportunities for exploration afforded by the
jungle-swathed interior.
This new eighth edition of Bradt's Malawi remains the only
standalone practical guidebook to this magical East African
destination, long known as the 'warm heart of Africa' (and the
first country outside Denmark to have a Carlsberg brewery). Malawi
is a small country with a big lake - accounting for around a third
of its territory - and a big welcome. Written by Philip Briggs,
arguably the world's most experienced guidebook author, this new
edition benefits from a thorough country-wide update of all the
practical information, with the addition of significant new game
park accommodation. Dedicated chapters on background information,
health and flora and fauna are complemented by a 19-chapter
breakdown of the country and 37 maps, making this an ideal
companion for backpackers, over-landers, wildlife spotters,
birdwatchers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Included in the guide
are the many outstanding adventure opportunities: kayaking on the
vast lake amongst dug-out canoes; hikes from tea estates up to the
heights Mount Mulanje; and watching the 'big five' animals in
wonderful natural surroundings. There's also a resurgent music
scene, intriguing monuments built by former colonisers and
compelling village culture to discover. With the reintroduction of
species including lions - and the recent translocation of large
numbers of elephants to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve - Malawi is a
wildlife destination to savour. From luxury camps to local
guesthouses, from rhino trekking to cycle tours and from crafts to
cultural tourism, Bradt's Malawi covers every aspect of your trip.
This new, fully-updated 8th edition of Bradt's Ethiopia remains the
most comprehensive, detailed and thorough guide available,
particularly known for its strength of background information,
coverage of off-the-beaten track areas, and in-depth details of
hotels and other tourist facilities. It also contains far more maps
than other guides. Bradt's Ethiopia is also the longest serving
English-language guidebook dedicated to the country, with a history
of 25 years of research and expertise. This new edition has been
updated by the original author, Philip Briggs, the world's foremost
writer of Africa travel guides. Recent years have seen a notable
rise in domestic and foreign private investment in the development
of new hotels and national parks; this new edition includes all the
most up-to-date details reflecting all the most recent changes,
from development of tourist facilities to improved road
infrastructure. Bradt's Ethiopia is ideal for visitors of all ages
no matter the interest, whether travelling independently or part of
an organised group, from adventurous and active travellers
interested in cultural, historical, and wildlife sightseeing to
international conference visitors, spa tourists and community-based
visitors looking for activities such as trekking and horse-riding
in the Rift Valley and Simien Mountains. Wildlife and birding
visitors who come for Ethiopia's wealth of endemics are also
catered for and this new edition includes a dedicated full-colour
chapter on wildlife and birds. Of all the African nations, Ethiopia
is most prone to misconceptions. The 1985 famine and the cracked
barren earth of the Danakil Depression are not images quickly
forgotten. But this fully updated guide refocuses the lens to
reveal an ancient country that continues to surpass all
expectations: from the ancient Judaic cultures of the fertile
highlands to the Animist people of the South Omo Valley, from the
Afroalpine moorland of the Bale Mountains National Park to the
thundering Blue Nile Falls. This book also leads you further off
the beaten track, so travellers can see more of this expansive and
beautiful land, believed to be the cradle of humankind.
The pioneering first edition of this guidebook was the first
dedicated entirely to Somaliland, and this second edition, fully
updated and with a foreword by Simon Reeve, continues Bradt's
groundbreaking tradition of publishing highly specialist guides to
newly emerging destinations. Significantly, this new edition also
covers Addis Ababa and eastern Ethiopia - the main gateway into
Somaliland. Also included is a detailed historical and
archaeological background to a region whose wealth of rock art,
ancient burial sites, ruined cities and historical ports stretches
back 5,000 years and has links with ancient Egypt and Axum as well
as the more recent Ottoman and British empires. Comprehensive
birdwatching and wildlife sections include details of where to look
for of the region's endemic and near-endemic birds and mammals,
while the guide also contains the only proper maps available for
the capital Hargeisa and other large towns such as Burao, Berbera
and Borama, compiled from scratch using GPS. Somaliland ranks among
the world's most obscure and uncharted travel destinations. It
comprises the former colony of British Somaliland, which merged
with its Italian namesake to form the Somali Republic upon
attaining independence in 1960, but unilaterally seceded from the
rest of war-torn Somalia in 1991. Now a peaceful and fully
functional self-governing democracy, Somaliland still awaits
official recognition by the UN AU and most other such organisations
more than quarter of a century later. Yet despite its obscurity,
this ancient and largely arid land has much to offer the truly
intrepid traveller, and the low-key, low-rise capital Hargeisa Is
easily reached by air or overland from neighbouring Ethiopia. With
this unique guide, discover Las Geel, the most alluring rock art
site on the Horn of Africa; the charmingly decayed Ottoman port of
Berbera, which provides access to some splendid beaches and
offshore reefs; the spectacular Daallo Escarpment, swathed in
fragrant evergreen forests that support several endemic bird
species; and the abandoned city of Maduna, the most impressive of
several mediaeval Islamic ruins dotted around the arid interior.

Ghana is packed with national parks, forest reserves, scenic
waterfalls and cultural sites, yet is free of the trappings of mass
tourism. It's an ideal destination for first-time visitors to

beaches and lush rain forests of the Atlantic coastline. This only
