Uganda, 6th (Bradt Travel Guide Uganda)
Uganda, 6th (Bradt Travel Guide Uganda) Review
Like most other Bradt guides written by the same author, this book is simply excellent.
The fact that it is the only single-country practical guide to Uganda could sell it in itself, but that has not made the author any less thorough.
As well as offering truly in-depth background information on Uganda’s troubled history and fascinating mix of cultures, it has all the practical details on travelling around the country you might possibly expect. And unlike certain recent Bradt guides by other authors, it still gives you exact prices for accommodation and transport, which is useful even if such details do change.
Where it truly stands out though is the wealth of information on Uganda’s fauna and nature reserves. Reading it is enough to make any nature-lover search for air-tickets, if they haven’t yet got them!
All in all: this book can’t be recommended highly enough.
Even if you haven’t used Bradt guides before, get this one!
Uganda, 6th (Bradt Travel Guide Uganda) Overview
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 Brigg’s much-praised guide is the most comprehensive resource available.
