5.0 out of 5 stars A very informative and useful guide to a fascinating country, 7 May 2003

By	"sandippatel3" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ethiopia: the Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)

I was fortunate enough to spend a month in Ethiopia, 25 days with an organised overland tour and a week on my own. The Bradt guide was an excellent source of historical/background information throughout that time, in addition to providing accurate reviews of accommodation and places to eat. I am not an experienced traveller and can understand anyone's hesitation in considering a visit to Ethiopia. To many people the very mention of the name conjurs up images of poverty and famine. However, this book does make it a much less daunting prospect. Ethiopia has been referred to as "The Hidden Kingdom" and is a country with deserves to have a guide book dedicated to it, rather than as part of a general overview of East Africa. I consider the Bradt the pick of the bunch when compared to the other major travel guides and recommend it without hesitation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top guidebook, 15 Sep 2006

By	Henry (UK) - See all my reviews

I've never come across such a brilliant guidebook as this for any country I've been to. Not only is it highly informative, dependable and up to date, as you would expect, but it is also very readable. Mr Briggs' writing style demonstrates a real affection for the country which you will hopefully share by the end of your stay. We certainly did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bradt Guides - Modern Travel Bibles, 13 May 2009

By	Tom Ellis (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ethiopia (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Put simply, this travel guide contains all you need to know about travel around Ethiopia, the African continents hidden jewel.

This is the most comprehensive, thorough and reliable guide you will find. I used it and its previous edition on a 6 month stay and it never failed me.
