5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best travel guides ever, August 28, 2004

By	Paul S "Paul" (Portland OR area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Uganda, 4th: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uganda: the Bradt Travel Guide (4th edition), December 1, 2003

By	Derek Schuurman (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Uganda, 4th: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bradt Guide to Uganda, 4th Edition, November 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Uganda, 4th: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)

This is a very well written and comprehensive guide.
It provides excellent information on wildlife as well
as culture, history, and politics. The book is full of
details on these, and other, subjects, but is consistently
lively and interesting. It is also very well balanced, pointing
out 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.
