These authors (who have married each other since the 6th edition) are passionate about detail. While researching this latest edition of their Zanzibar guide, Chris and Susie have personally visited each of the almost 250 properties featured; many have been newly built since the last edition and do not feature in any other guide on the market. They've also meticulously redrawn and updated all their maps using GPS coordinates to pinpoint landmarks; again, they are the only Zanzibar guidebook authors to have done so. Just don't ask what they talk about over dinner. 'The only guidebook of any quality devoted to the islands.' "Conde Nast Traveler ""("USA)

Pero ademas de su acervo cultural, Zanzibar es famosa por sus playas virgenes y formadas por blancos y casi infinitos arenales y aguas de un turquesa como en el Caribe mas puro. Playas que, ademas, se cuentan entre las favoritas de los buceadores y amantes de cualquier deporte nautico, y a las que s...

Hace poco más de un siglo, Winston Churchill, embriagado por su prodigiosa naturaleza, hizo de Uganda «la perla de África». Desde principios del decenio de 1990, Uganda ha experimentado una transformación completa gracias a un fuerte crecimiento económico, que ha atraído a inversores de todo el mundo. Además, con la reciente disminución de las tensiones en el norte del país y en Karamoja, Uganda es ahora uno de los territorios más seguros del continente. Sus magníficos paisajes, desde las brillantes aguas del lago Victoria hasta las impresionantes cumbres de Virunga y Rwenzori, su excepcional fauna c...

Somebody once said that if you planted a walking stick overnight in the soil of Uganda, it would take root before morning dawned. Of all Africa's safari destinations, this is the most fertile. It's also the best destination in Africa for seeing a variety of primate species - visitors can spot more than ten types of monkey including mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. And if primate enthusiasts are found wandering round with imbecile grins, Uganda's birds have ornithologists doing cartwheels: more than 1,000 bird species have been recorded here making Uganda, in practical terms, the finest birdwatching destination in Africa. Moreover, in Uganda's premier savanna reserves, one can be almost certain of encountering lions, elephants and buffaloes. Whether visitors want to climb to the snows of the fabled Mountains of the Moon, raft the headwaters of the mighty Nile, or marvel at the legendary tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, this sixth edition of Philip Briggs' much- praised guide is the most comprehensive resource available.
