This new, thoroughly updated eighth edition remains the only practical guidebook to Tanzania to reflect the overall shift of tourism away from backpackers & budget camping safaris to upper-end & midrange safaris & beach holidays. Unlike other guidebooks, the main focus is background & practical information on Tanzania`s peerless collection of national parks, game reserves & other safari destinations, including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Selous, Ruaha, Katavi Gombe Stream & Mahale Mountains. Every major reserve is given a dedicated chapter detailing its ecology, wildlife, accommodation options, game drives & other activities. Written by acknowledged experts Philip Briggs & Chris Mc Intyre, Bradt`s Tanzania also focuses on other popular & off-the-beaten track tourist attractions, ranging from Mount Kilimanjaro & the ` Spice Island` of Zanzibar to the mysterious Kilwa Ruins & Kondoa Rock Art (a pair of UNESCO World Heritage Sites often relegated to the small print of other travel guides). The accommodation listings for the national parks & other safari destinations are the most detailed & authoritative available. Briggs & Mc Intyre have weeded through the ever-growing number of lodges & camps to create a critically selective list of the best properties in every price bracket

Includes:: a 48-page wildlife field guide. Since its mid-1980s economic nadir, when it lacked adequate facilities for anything but basic camping safaris, Tanzania has grown to be one of Africa`s top safari destinations. This new edition actively responds to this evolution by focusing on the country mainly as a safari & short-stay fly-in holiday destination. It also reflects the growing trend away from large lodges towards small, exclusive eco-friendly camps in remote parts of the national parks & bordering community concessions. Tanzania is arguably Africa`s greatest safari destination & is geographically one of Africa`s most varied countries, its long palm-fringed coastline complemented by the scenic wonders of the Great Rift Valley, portions of Africa`s three largest lakes, & several impressive mountains. With this guide you will discover everything the country has to offer, from spectacular year-round game-viewing to post-safari relaxation on the idyllic beaches of Zanzibar.

As protests swirl in the cities & all foreign faces arouse suspicions, venturesome young Japanese student Aya Goda travels deep into the interior of China. There she falls in love with the charismatic & combative wandering painter Cao, whose work is initially tolerated by the Chinese authorities & then banned, suddenly flipping the couple over onto the wrong side of the law. With the police on their tails, the pair criss-cross the vastnesses of middle China & push up into Tibet, where Cao has been trained as a sky-burial master. By truck & by jalopy, biplane & train, dodging bandits & bureaucrats alike, the pair take a high-speed, high-risk journey through this fast-changing country. Like some East Asian Cassady & Kerouac, Cao & Goda are wild kindred spirits in search of enlightenment & freedom, & Goda's prose
- clear & metallic as a Himalayan stream
- permits the reader to share their every intrepid step & twist & to taste the tangily different flavours of contemporary China.
