Review
"The best general book...discriminating and well-informed." --Food & Travel

From the Back Cover
This fourth edition of the Bradt guide to Uganda has been updated and considerably expanded to include not just every aspect of the country's tourist infrastructure, but also far more detailed coverage of the cultural and environmental issues that are Uganda's greatest asset.
This guide contains: in depth information on natural history and conservation; getting there, getting around and other practical information; comprehensive coverage of history and culture; in and around Kampala; communicating in Swahili; 45 maps and town plans and much more.

Customer Reviews

Bradt Uganda3
Relatively up to date information although a few facts were off. Easy to read and well put together for a country that is not often specifically featured in books and has only started to invest in tourist endeavors. Reviews of hostels, hotels were accurate. More maps needed though. Overall helpful and complete - appreciated the historical sections.

Well written review4
I'll start by saying we've not travelled yet, but we've used books on other coutries over the years, and this one is well written, and seems well though out and presented. It has covered everything I've wanted to know before travelling very well.

I'll comment on the accuracy after November!
Merv.

Great preparation4
We have read this book front to back and though we don't leave for a few weeks we feel so much more informed about opportunities within and country and tips to be better prepared. Great resource!
