This review is from: Tanzania Travel Guide (Paperback)

This book hit the mark for a travel guide to Africa. Small, it fits into the 32 pound weight limit for local plane flights. The map which comes with it is nicely detailed. The book has a good blend on info about the parks and brief reviews of the places to stay. There aren't a lot of books to help with traveling to Tanzania, so this was a good find.

not much available in the way of choices of good maps for Kilmanjaro and surrounding areas, but this one appears to be pretty complete.
