Tanzania and Zanzibar

From the heights of Mount Kilimanjaro's snow-capped equatorial peaks to the depths of Lake Tanganyika and the coral reefs of the Indian Ocean, across the primeval wilderness of the Serengeti's grassy plains to the spice islands of the Zanzibar archipelago, Tanzania brims with life. Renowned for its rare wildlife and for the great migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and antelope, it is ideal safari country. This guide offers full advice on planning your trip, including game-watching in the lesser-known Southern Highlands, chimp-spotting at Gombe Stream, diving in clear waters and lazing on sandy beaches; and steers you through the cultural mix of Tanzania's bustling Swahili cities and ancient coastal civilizations. 

This guide includes detailed travel advice; over 280 safari lodges, hotels and tented camps; over 150 restaurants, bars and cafes; 25 maps; stunning colour photography; comprehensive safari-planner and wildlife guide and idyllic island hideaways. (5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 452 pages, colour photos, maps)
