Review
"Thorough and reassuring [this guide] provides all the practical and background information to make readers leap from their armchairs and visit this magical country."
--The Daily Telegraph


Product Description
This Bradt guide has become the definitive source of information on this country rich in culture, history, and dramatic scenery. For first-time visitors, Philip Briggs supplies plenty of practical advice on how to bridge the cultural gap and plan a trouble-free trip. Heritage hotspots in a land thought to be the cradle of civilization and resting place of the Ark of the Covenant include the architecturally fascinating rock-hewn church of Lalibela, the unofficial eighth wonder of the world, and ancient palaces and staelae at Axum. Ethiopia boasts nine national parks and several wildlife sanctuaries, all of which are detailed in Philip Briggs's comprehensive text.

This guide features:
>Where to find some of East Africa's rarest wildlife, including the Simien wolf, walia ibex, and gelada baboon
>Ethiopia's national parks and wildlife sanctuaries
>Traveling the Northern Historic Circuit
>Addis Ababa in detail: where to stay, eat, and drink, plus nearby sightseeing

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable Guide to Ethiopia, February 6, 2006
By E. Nalle (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am planning my third trip to Ethiopia, and Philip Briggs' 4th edition of Ethiopia: The Bradt Travel Guide has proved to be indispensable. I have used his previous guidebook editions on my trips, and his information and tips are always exactly right. As an extra added bonus, he is an entertaining and perceptive writer, and the books are fun to read as well. This is the only book a traveler needs for a trip to Ethiopia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Helpful, April 27, 2006
By International Traveler (Springfield, IL USA) - See all my reviews
As world travelers experiencing our first trip to Ethiopia, we found ourselves carrying Briggs' book with us everywhere! His intelligent guidance was informative and helpful in every way. We felt that he was with us, helping us understand and enjoy this complex and fascinating land. We wish to thank Mr. Briggs for his incredible attention to detail, which greatly enhanced our trip. Don't go to Ethiopia without it!
