.Uganda (Bradt Travel Guides) (The Bradt Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rwanda and Uganda
by: Philip Briggs

December 15, 2006
The Bradt Travel Guides are always useful. However, the Guide to Uganda (5th Edition) has proved to be very reliable.
Bradt can be relied on to keep there travel guides up-to-date but I also receive the interim e-mail updates and these are well worth reading. Subscription is simple, just send an e-mail to the author (Philip Briggs) or keep an eye on the website.

.Wildlife of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda (Traveller's Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rwanda and Uganda
by: David Hosking, Martin Withers

January 03, 2007
This book is an excellent field guide and reference book which is small enough to take in your camera bag on your game drives. It has very clear and concise descriptions of the relevant animals and has a huge section on birds. The photos are of good quality.

The beginning of the book has a brief description of photography and the equipment you will need to take with you. It then attempts to explain some basic photography skills. This was not comprehensive enough to be of much use other than for the complete novice and I feel there are better books for this.

An excellent field reference and I would recommend it for your trip.

.Rwanda (The Bradt Travel Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Rwanda and Uganda
by: Philip Briggs

October 15, 2006
The only alternative to the Bradt guide is a tiny chapter in Lonely Planet's East Africa guide which doesn't even compare.
The first half of the book goes into the history, (both natural and human) and cultural, travel and other issues that a traveller needs to know. The second half is the guide-book and combines useful information for travellers such as where to eat, sleep and how to get around, with good accuracy. It also has a fantastic feature of articles of interest throughout the book to add colour and detail to every stop.
Prices are now a little out of date, but otherwise great. Get it before hand and read the mine of information it holds.

.Land of a Thousand Hills: My Life in Rwanda
City Travel Guides > Books > Rwanda and Uganda
by: Rosamond Halsey Carr, A. H Halsey

November 28, 2005
Fascinating recollection of the life of an extraordinary American lady, who arrived in the eastern belgian Congo and in Rwanda at a time where life there was paradise for foreigners, settled as a plantation manager, remained throughout the tumultuous fifty years that followed, even during the worst periods when everybody else fled the country, and made it her home. Over 80, she has now turned her house into a very welcoming orphanage for the children of the war.

.Dangerous Beauty: Life and Death in Africa: True Stories from a Safari Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Rwanda and Uganda
by: Mark C. Ross

March 01, 2003
This was *exactly* the sort of book I wanted to read pending my 2nd Safari vacation to Kenya later this year, and Ross extrapolates his experiences with Kenya and his life as a safari guide very well, and his love for Kenya is really very apparent,as is his respect for the tourists he escorts as a guide.

It must be noted, however, that his tourists arn't the rough and tumble type of safari goers you might imagine, and his services as a guide are only for the very very very wealthy who can afford the 5 star ' tent hotel' type safaris. A safari with a cheap overland carrier by comparison is a different expereince all together, as illustrated in the final chapter where his group after spending an evening at a Samburu village were too ...
