Editorial Reviews

Review

‘… most comprehensive guidebook to the country’
Travel Africa

‘….the most comprehensive and well-organised book of the bunch and also…one of the best travel books ever published. I was very impressed.’
Jim Harris, Prairie Lights Bookstore, Iowa

--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Zambia remains the best place in Africa for walking safaris, river safaris, hot springs, and waterfalls, yet is little explored by travelers. This third edition of Zambia covers all the prime attractions, including all national parks from the Zambezi and Kafe to the famous Luangwa park, host to several unique species and the best place for leopard-spotting. Advice for the independent traveler encompasses everything from choosing the best bushcamps, lodges, and hotels to organizing memorable safaris. Adrenaline junkies are well catered for with details of the best white-water rafting opportunities in the world, and other adventure activities, such as microlighting above Victoria Falls and canoeing safaris.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best option available, April 6, 2005

By	Joshua Benton (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I spent six weeks in Zambia in fall 2003. In preparing for the trip, I checked out all the available guidebooks and found two that were worth carrying along: the Lonely Planet guide and the Bradt guide. In all, Bradt was the best. It covered more territory, was stronger on areas of the country outside the major cities (Lusaka, Livingstone, etc.), had better coverage of safaris, and just generally seemed to be written by someone who knew the country -- not someone who had zipped in and out for guidebook purposes. There was almost never anything in the LP that wasn't in the Bradt; there were often things that were in the Bradt that weren't in the LP. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars top Zambia guide, May 1, 2000

By	Sean (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zambia, 2nd (Paperback)

This guide is the most comprehensive guide you will find if you are going to Zambia. This country usually only gets a brief section at the back of guidebooks for neighbouring countries such as Malawi or Zimbabwe. McIntyre covers many aspects of travel to Zambia from flora and fauna to accomodation and transport. A good comprehensive guide covering the whole of Zambia with excellant maps especially of the national parks. On the down side there are very few photographs, these would add to this book, and would put some flesh onto the bones of the high standard of commentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, July 4, 2001

By	andy (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Zambia, 2nd (Paperback)

I bought 3 books on Zambia before my trip - this one was by far the best. Very comprehensive, contained all that info that I needed. Some of the prices were off (the exchange rate vs. the dollar is now much better than at the time of printing which explains some of the difference (about 3700 kwacha to the dollar today, July, 2000) so the delta was always favorable). Two lodges were estimated to be about $200-$250/night, we found $100/night. Zambia, we learned as probably the best untouched reserves for gaming. Amazing, beautiful places, truly remote. Be aware that moving from one place to another in Zambia takes many hours on the road, and the roads are not good. I'd advise hiring someone to fly you to the remote airstrips rather than the typical 8 hour surface transfers. Also, remember to sit back and relax: the "Z Factor", as they call it locally, means that nothing happens on schedule : ) If you're prepared for this mentally, you'll have a most enjoyable trip!
