This thoroughly updated new edition of Bradt`s Northern Tanzania Safari Guide remains the only full-length guidebook focussed exclusively on the northern part of the country & Zanzibar. Tailored closely to the requirements of anyone going on a safari to northern Tanzania, followed by a few days on Zanzibar, it provides far more detailed coverage of the local safari circuit & other main attractions than other guides. As such, it offers complete & detailed lodge listings & also goes into greater detail about wildlife & where to see it. It is also the only guide to include detailed information on the many new private concessions that have opened up. Northern Tanzania is dominated by Africa`s finest safari circuit. Centred on the legendary Serengeti National Park & its world-famous wildebeest migration, this circuit also incorporates the Ngorongoro Crater & surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara & Tarangire national parks. Geographically it is one of the most varied regions in Africa, with a palm-fringed Indian Ocean coastline complemented by the scenic wonders of the Great Rift Valley, Africa`s largest lake, & several impressive volcanically formed mountains, most notably snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa & a popular goal for hikers. Lesser-known gems include the prehistoric rock art at Kondoa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the forested Arusha National Park & Amani Nature Reserve, & the spectacular Ol Doinyo Lengai
- Africa`s most active volcano. Tanzania is home to more than 100 ethnic groups, from the Arab-influenced Swahili of the coast to the traditionalist Maasai pastoralists & Hadza hunter-gatherers of the Rift Valley, yet it takes pride in a long history of post-independence tolerance, stability & safety. Northern Tanzania offers spectacular game-viewing all year round, & supports some of the world`s largest surviving populations of lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest & gazelle. Serviced by a well-developed safari industry, the superlative reserves of northern Tanzania are complemented by a stopover on the legendary Spice Island of Zanzibar. With its atmospheric old town, idyllic beaches & offshore reefs teeming with marine life, it is every bit as evocative as its name. Bradt`s Northern Tanzania is written by Philip Briggs, the world`s leading writer of guidebooks to Africa, & Chris Mc Intyre, CEO of specialist Africa tour operator Expert Africa. The guide reflects the growing trend away from large lodges towards small exclusive eco-friendly camps in remote parts of the Serengeti & other major reserves & this edition is more critically selective than previous editions, detailing the best on offer in all price brackets. Also new for this edition is a 48-page colour field guide, detailing all species a visitor can expect to find on a safari in the northern circuit, making this guide the most authoritative source available. Northern Tanzania is an essential travel companion for both first-time visitors & seasoned safari-goers.
