Product Description

Footprint's latest addition to its Africa coverage arrives on the bookshelves just as Uganda opens up to tourism, particularly the adventure-travel variety. With its fantastic climate, ever-changing landscape, and breathtaking wildlife including one of the last enclaves of the mountain gorilla and 1,000 species of bird, Uganda merits the visitors. Written by leading East Africa authority Mike Hodd, Uganda Handbook provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive facts available on this ultimate adventure destination. Over 50 color and black-and-white maps cross-referenced with the text help readers decide where to stay, eat, and take in the local culture, while stunning full-color photographs depict the highlights of the country. The book covers gorilla watching in Bwindi and Mgahinga National Parks, white-water rafting at the source of the Nile, scenic spots for climbing and trekking, fascinating safaris, and other outdoor adventures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Never again with footprint, January 23, 2003

By	Florian Steininger (Wien Österreich) - See all my reviews

Luckily we had a two year old lonely planet book about east Africa as well. The footprint is unreliable, maps are wrong, addresses are wrong, hotels non exist, ....
It was a disaster to travel with Footprint Uganda Handbook!!
Without the other east africa travle guide we would have been lost!
