Lizzie Williams

Originally from London, Lizzie Williams has worked and lived in Africa since 1995. Starting out on trips across the continent as a tour leader on overland trucks, she has sat with a gorilla, slept amongst elephants, fed a giraffe, swum with a hippo and is now something of an expert on border crossings and African beer. For Footprint she is author of South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Cape Town Winelands & Garden Route. For Bradt, she has written the only country-specific guidebook to Nigeria and a city guide to Johannesburg. For AA Publishing, she has contributed to the AA Key Guide to South Africa, AA Spiral Guide to South Africa, and the AA Essentials Guide to South Africa. For Frommers she is author of Cape Town Day-by-Day and co-author of Kenya and Tanzania, and is co-author of DK's Eyewitness to Kenya. Lizzie also writes for numerous magazines and websites specialising in African travel. When not on the road, Lizzie lives in beautiful Cape Town.
