Product Description

Product Description

The third edition of this Bradt guide to Mozambique brings travellers up to date with the rapid changes that are sweeping Mozambique. It describes the whole country from the exceptional beauty of the south coast to the oldest European settlement in Africa, and highlights the capital Maputo (easily accessible from South Africa) and southern Mozambique, with its palm-lined beaches, offshore islands and world-ranking water sports locations. It includes tips for backpackers on exploring off-the-beaten-track Africa and the challenges of getting to and around northern Mozambique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Detailed Research, 16 Jun 2003
I've read all guides to Mozambique and been there. Now I am planning my second trip.
This book is the the most in depth and meticulous. The detail of the thoroughly researched book is quite astonishing.
There is no ambiguity - if you can get/sleep/eat there this book will tell you how whether be public transport or your own. It doesn't leave any questions. For any trip especially out of Maputo and off the beaten track this book will prove absolutely invaluable. The authors factual and succinct style gives frank impressions and doesn't rely on second hand information.
The maps are very handy and this book is by far the most up to date - places are opening up in Mozambique and they are in this book and not in others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 29 Dec 2008
By Laszlo Wagner (Hungary) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I am a great fan of the main author of this book, Philip Briggs, and until now have found all Bradt guides written by him so good that I decided to buy any of his books without hesitation.

Unfortunately, this Mozambique guide is not quite the same quality as the others though.
To start with, it is pretty slim. For a huge country like Mozambique, it has almost the same page count as the guide to small Malawi, and is much slimmer than the guide to also smaller Uganda. As a consequence, it does not go into the same depth as other Bradt guides, and concentrates on popular beach spots and major cities/towns only.
Even Brigg's trademark detail on local fauna and national parks is conspiciously missing, with 2 of the country's (only) five national parks not even getting an entry in the book, other described very briefly in a few lines.
Nor will you find much info on remote regions or hiking.
Transport info is also spotty - detail on bus services is included for many small places, but not for several major towns like Beira or Tete! Almost no info on crossing to Mozambique overland from neighbouring countries either.
The list of recommended books for further reading seems almost a decade out of date, as do references throughout the guide to Zimbabwe as a popular tourist destinastion!

Oh well.
The info which is in the book is still interesting enough, and more than that contained in the other guide I carry, Lonely Planet's Southern Africa. I haven't had the chance to see LP's separate Mozambique guide, but I'd suggest you try and compare it with this book before deciding which one to buy!
