Tanzania Safari Guide: with Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and the coast

The ninth edition of Bradt's Tanzania Safari Guide is the only practical guidebook to the country that reflects the shift away from backpackers and budget camping safaris to upper-end and mid-range safaris and beach holidays. It provides practical information about Tanzania's national parks, game reserves, and other safari destinations, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Ruaha, Katavi, Gombe Stream, Mahale Mountains, and four new national parks designated in 2019. The guide also focuses on other popular and off-the-beaten-track tourist attractions, such as Mount Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, and the Kilwa Ruins and Kondoa Rock Art (UNESCO World Heritage Sites). Accommodation listings are the most detailed and authoritative available, and a 48-page wildlife color field guide details all species a visitor can expect to find on a safari. Tanzania has grown to be one of Africa's top safari destinations, and this edition actively responds to this evolution by focusing on the country mainly as a safari and short-stay fly-in holiday destination.

This new and thoroughly updated ninth edition of Bradt's Tanzania Safari Guide remains the only practical guidebook to the country that reflects tourism's shift away from backpackers and budget camping safaris to upper-end and mid-range safaris and beach holidays. Unlike other guidebooks, the main focus is practical information about Tanzania's peerless collection of national parks, game reserves, and other safari destinations, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Ruaha, Katavi, Gombe Stream, Mahale Mountains, and four new national parks designated in 2019, including Nyerere, which encompasses much of the former Selous Game Reserve and is thought to be Africa's largest National Park. Every major reserve is given a dedicated chapter detailing its ecology, wildlife, accommodation options, game drives, and other activities. Written by acknowledged Africa experts and prolific guidebook writers Philip Briggs and Chris McIntyre, Bradt's Tanzania Safari Guide also focuses on other popular and off-the-beaten-track tourist attractions, including Mount Kilimanjaro, the Spice Island of Zanzibar, and the mysterious Kilwa Ruins and Kondoa Rock Art (UNESCO World Heritage Sites often relegated to the small print of other guides). 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 in every price bracket (upmarket, mid-range, and budget). Meanwhile, a 48-page wildlife color field guide details all species a visitor can expect to find on a safari. Since the mid-1980s, when only basic camping safaris were feasible, Tanzania has grown to be one of Africa's top safari destinations. This new edition actively responds to this growth by providing comprehensive and up-to-date information on the best safari experiences available in the country. Whether you are planning a luxury safari or a more budget-friendly adventure, Bradt's Tanzania Safari Guide is the essential companion for your journey.
