Focusing upon the legendary natural history of Uganda, this guide is full of valuable information on all the national parks and the gorilla tracking and bird-watching opportunities. It also provides comprehensive information on where to stay and eat.
We have read this book front to back and though we don't leave for a few weeks we feel so much more informed about opportunities within and country and tips to be better prepared. Great resource!
One of the best travel guides ever
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I've traveled to over 40 countries in the past 15 years and read between 1-3 travel guides before going to each country. This is one of the best travel guides I've ever read. Very detailed, current, no superficiality. Strong on history, sights and culture. I really can't think of how this book could have been improved. And read Abyssinian Chronicles before you go to Uganda. Wonderful character development and a Ugandan's perspective on history and culture in that country.

This is a very well written and comprehensive guide.It provides excellent information on wildlife as wellas culture, history, and politics. The book is full ofdetails on these, and other, subjects, but is consistentlylively and interesting. It is also very well balanced, pointingout both the delights and difficulties of travel in Uganda. I am quite familiar with Uganda and with the various tour guides, and this is by far the best guide to the country which I have yet seen.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Philip Briggs has produced a masterpiece with his 4th edition of 'Uganda: the Bradt Travel Guide'. As a specialist tour operator who has visited Uganda before, I am familiar with other Uganda guidebooks and Bradt's latest edition is without a doubt, the best around. Everything the prospective visitor needs to know about Uganda is contained in this superb book. Briggs has done an exceptionally thorough job of updating the guide and I am confident that it will enable readers not only to see the best of the country, but also to understand it.
The Bradt guide gives you a lot of really usable information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Last year I went to Uganda. The information given in the book was very useful for me. When you want to go to Uganda it is really necessary to buy this book. The first chapters of this book are about religion, history, polical and other general things about the "pearl of Africa". In the following chapters he crosses the whole country. All national parks are explained in this chapters. Correct and accurate information is given about hotels where you can stay and about the quality of the hotels. For example he explains how get everywhere in the country. When you know nothing about "The pearl of Africa" or you know a lot about Uganda, it will always be a very interesting book. Try it!
