5.0 out of 5 stars Fourth Edition, 20 Dec 2002
By Brian Currie (Salisbury, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tanzania (The Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)
I have a project in the south of Tanzania, and spend a substantial amount of time travelling around that country. Phillip Briggs' Bradt Guide to Tanzania really gets to the heart of Tanzania and its people. OK, the facts and figures are accurate and important, but I love to read his little 'asides' which tell so much more. Certain parts of Tanzania are only covered in this guide, which is why I always carry my, what is now very well thumbed, copy with me. I estimate my edition went to Tanzania around 20 times. The fourth edition which I puchased in October 2002, has, by Dec, already made three visits.

5.0 out of 5 stars An invaluable guide for everyone travelling to Tanzania, 14 Sep 2000
By A Customer
We travelled to Tanzania this spring for the first time armed with several guidebooks. The Bradt Guide became our bible in that it not only provided us with detailed essential information on each area we visited, but contains a wealth of vital info on health and safety, climate, recommended clothing, food, accommodation (useful thumbnail sketches that enable one to differentiate between those listed) and a very interesting section on natural history and conservation (with illustrations). Overall we had the impression that the author Philip Briggs was exceptionally well qualified to write this book, his nonjudgemental, friendly and open view of the many conflicts facing Tanzania were especially thought provoking. Compared to the many guides that assume limited initiative and minimal commonsense it was a wonderful introduction and boon to our travels. Well done Bradt Publications.

4.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly opinionated, sometimes inaccurate, 2 Jun 2009
By Natural Clothing (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tanzania (The Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)
This guide is a fascinating, interesting read and offers a refreshingly opinionated view of what's on offer in the various regions of Tanzania. Briggs is not afraid to stick his neck out, but as a result sometimes gets it wrong. In particular, distances need to be checked with another source if it matters to you before you set out. But if you're truly into the African way of life this may not matter.

As this was my first trip to Africa I appreciated being told what was great and what not so great. It may however be an idea to supplement this guide with a more objective and possibly accurate source such as the Rough Guide.
