--- Over het boek (foto 1): Guide to Tanzania ---

Tanzania has built up its infrastructure to become one of the most desirable locations for an unforgettable safari. There is chimpanzee watching, birding, mountain climbing on Mt. Kilimanjaro, and beaching on the Indian Ocean coast. Itineraries are suggested for upmarket package travelers to backpackers and everyone in between.

Tops for Tanzania [2008-06-16]

Philip Briggs KNOWS Tanzania. His insightful descriptions of the country's game parks and wildlife are matched by comprehensive accounts of accommodations. For Serengeti he details 20 camps and lodges compared with 15 in Lizzie Williams' "Footprint Tanzania" and only 10 in Jens Finke's "The Rough Guide to Tanzania." Although rates generally increase by the time a guide appears in print, Briggs gives actual costs in U.S. dollars, thus facilitating accurate comparisons. He also organizes coverage of Serengeti accommodations by regions of this vast park, including rationale for visiting each area by time of year for optimal wildlife viewing. While both Briggs and Williams, but not Finke, include Kijereshi Lodge as a moderately priced option in Serengeti's Western Corridor, only Briggs suggests Mbalageti Serengeti as a "relatively affordable alternative" in that area. Granted, Serengeti is not the whole of Tanzania, but it is arguably the gem of Tanzania and, as such, deserves priority coverage by any guidebook to the country. Having organized safaris in both the northern and southern circuits, I'm convinced that Briggs possesses the most intimate knowledge of the country. I know of no guidebook that does everything best, but of these three good Tanzania guides, the Bradt guide is tops.

Take it with you... [2008-12-03]

Great guide book. I think it does as much as a guide book can do in a time when things are changing very rapidly in East Africa. I was in Tanzania doing research for several months in 2008, and used the book for hotels and restaurants, for the most part. These entries become outdated quickly, but Mr. Briggs compiled many selections that have maintained.

Necessary for your trip [2009-10-24]

Tanzania with Zanzibar, Pemba & Mafia by Philip Briggs is the 2009 version of the excellent guide we used on our recent trip to Tanzania. Briggs is thorough in his guide and tells everything you need to know in order to plan your trip and to see the most and understand the most while you are there. He gives excellent information about government, history, geography, wildlife, and people and good maps. The photos are beautiful. If you go to Tanzania, be sure to take this guide with you. We found it most helpful and it gave us understanding of people, places, and animals we were seeing that we could not otherwise have known.

It's okay [2013-02-04]

Nothing replaces the experience of actually traveling to Tanzania. I will definitely return, but not because of this book. Tanzania is one of my favorite places in the world.

Handy Guide [2016-10-05]

I bought this book for my second trip to Tanzania and I am so glad I did! Upon arriving in Tanzania I had missed my bus onto Iringa and needed to find a hotel. Out comes this miracle and before an hour had passed I was sat in my hotel room getting ready to venture out into the city!

This guide book is easily set out, easy to read and full of useful information. I find myself flicking through the pages every now and then planning my next trip

Un des meilleurs guides sur la Tanzanie en anglais [2012-12-24]

Ce très bon guide de voyage détaille les très nombreuses richesses de ce pays, notamment la Tanzanie du Sud, généralement délaissée par les guides de voyages en français.
Bien illustré, il est à la fois pratique et instructif. Un choix précieux qui nous a été très utile en voyage.

Travel guide written in first person - shock! [2009-11-23]

(Sixth edition reviewed.) Why do guidebook authors tend to be so anonymous, when (in theory) they need to have been on the ground to experience each location, visit each 'sight' and at least skim the hotels? This is the pleasure of the Bradt guide: often written in the first person one gets a real sense that Briggs has been there, done that, and had a good chat in Swahili with the locals on the way (although he admits that he didn't update the lastest edition himself).

Sure, there are times when his opinions may be misguided but that doesn't stop this being a useful and entertaining guide. I probably wouldn't count on it as your only one, having travelled to Tanzania with two guidebooks - Footprint and Bradt, both chosen since they were published in mid-2009 and have reasonable reviews here on Amazon - there's just a sense that things in this guide aren't *quite* as reliable any more. These two are a good complement to each other, and Brigg's passion and knowledge are terrific.

Probably the biggest thing that counts against the Bradt guide is its size, or rather its weight: I'd say it's almost a kilo (but don't have scales to hand to prove that), which is going to make a dent in your hand luggage.

This new edition of Bradt's Guide to Tanzania includes updated information on wildlife and balloon safaris, ecological tips for the visitor and an illustrated guide to local species.

In the beginning

It all began in 1974 on an Amazon river barge. During an 18-month trip through South America, two adventurous young backpackers - Hilary Bradt and her then husband, George - decided to write about the hiking trails they had discovered through the Andes.

Backpacking Along Ancient Ways Peru & Bolivia included the very first descriptions of the Inca Trail. It was the start of a colourful journey to becoming one of the best-loved travel publishers in the world; you can read about this in more detail on the Our Story page.

Getting there first

Hilary quickly gained a reputation for being a true travel pioneer, and in the 1980s she started to publish guides by other writers to places overlooked by other travel publishers. The Bradt Guides list became a roll call of guidebook 'firsts'.

We published the first guide to Madagascar, followed by Mauritius, Czechoslovakia and Vietnam. The 1990s saw the beginning of our extensive coverage of Africa: Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa and Eritrea.

Later, post-conflict guides became a feature: Rwanda, Mozambique, Angola and Sierra Leone, as well as the first standalone guides to the Baltic States following the fall of the Iron Curtain, and the first post-war guides to Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania.

Comprehensive - and with a conscience

Today, we are the world's largest independently-owned guidebook publisher, with over 200 titles in print. However, our ethos is unchanged. Hilary is still involved, and we still get there first: over 70% of our city, region and country guides still have no direct competition from other publishers - see more on the Somewhere only we know page.

But we don't just get there first. Our guides are known for being more comprehensive than any other series. We avoid templates and tick-lists. Each guide is a one-of-a-kind expression of an expert author's interests, knowledge and enthusiasm for telling it like it really is.

And a commitment to wildlife, conservation and respect for local communities has always been at the heart of our books. Bradt Guides was championing sustainable travel before any other guidebook publisher. We have a series dedicated to Slow Travel in the UK, award-winning books that explore the country with a passion and depth you'll find nowhere else.

Thanks for visiting our website

We can only do what we do because of the support of our readers - people who value less-obvious experiences, less-visited places and a more thoughtful approach to travel. Those who, like us, take travel seriously.
Our awards

• Independent Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards 2017 (shortlist)

Our team

Working with writers, photographers, printers, booksellers and distributors across the globe, we publish over 40 new titles a year.

Hilary Bradt MBE - Co-Founder, Director

Hilary worked as an occupational therapist in Edinburgh, London, Boston and San Francisco, before becoming unemployable when the gaps between jobs were noticed. She married George Bradt in 1972 and spent the next four years in South America and Africa, accidentally founding Bradt Travel Guides en route.

After splitting with George in 1980, she built up the publishing business while leading treks and tours to South America, Kenya and Madagascar, writing a few books and publishing a lot more. She received the BGTW Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009, and was inducted into the LATA Hall of Fame in 2019. She was awarded an MBE in 2008.

Favourite destination: Madagascar

Little-known fact: As a school girl in the 1950s Hilary was considered too dim to go to university so learned German, not Latin. First trip abroad was to Germany to stay with pen-friend. Hated it; hated her.

Adrian Phillips - Managing Director

Adrian has been Managing Director since 2014, but his Bradt journey stretches back to 2000 when, as a thirsty PhD student, he proofread Bradt guidebooks to raise some extra beer money. He joined the in-house team as an Editorial Assistant in 2001, and can properly be said to know the company from top to bottom.

In addition to working on the publishing side of the fence, Adrian is a leading writer and broadcaster. He writes for national media including The Times, The Telegraph and National Geographic Traveller, has authored several guidebooks (among them Bradt guides to Budapest and Hungary), and makes frequent broadcast appearances on the BBC, ITV and Sky. Among the awards he has received are BGTW Travel Writer of the Year (twice), AITO Travel Writer of the Year, Travel Media Consumer Writer of the Year, BGTW Broadcaster of the Year, and BGTW Guidebook Writer of the Year.

Favourite destination: Hungary (as the husband of a Hungarian, he has to say that...)
Little-known fact: Adrian's sense of direction is so poor that he followed the wrong procession from the cemetery following his grandmother's funeral and ended up at a stranger's wake in High Wycombe rather than his own family's one in Chorleywood.
Anna Moores - Editorial and Creative Director

Anna joined Bradt in 2005 as an editorial assistant, and in her own words, "is living proof that if you hang around somewhere long enough then they have to promote you". A self-confessed grammar nerd, she can be brought to tears by the incorrect use of less/fewer and strives to avoid splitting infinitives wherever possible.

Grammar aside, Anna loves working on design and making Bradt beautiful and feels extremely lucky that she gets to work with some wonderful illustrators, designers and photographers daily. She is also the company's social secretary and will bring Bradt people, past and present, together at any chance she gets for a pint or three...

Favourite destination: Anywhere with wildlife, but Rwanda was a favourite.

Little-known fact: Anna has been peed on by a golden monkey and considers this extremely lucky. It was golden after all.

Hugh Brune - Commercial Director

Hugh Brune first met Hilary in 2001 when he worked at Portfolio, the sales agency that sold Bradt Guides around the world. He returned to the company in 2016 to head up sales and marketing.

When not trying to persuade people to buy Bradt books, he writes sporadically for film, TV and the theatre. He also works for Eye/ Lightning, an independent publisher of fiction and general non-fiction.

Favourite place to revisit: Anywhere in the Peloponnese, having spent a very happy year there in his twenties.

Most want to visit: Japan.

Sales and Marketing

Abigail King: a soft spot for the Arctic Circle - Head of Digital Content & Strategy

Abi joined the team in the winter of 2022, having hauled Bradt books around Kazakhstan, the Galapagos and Namibia over the years.

Aside from her role at Bradt, she is an award-winning writer and broadcaster who has worked with the BBC, UNESCO, the EU, NASA and more.

She's the founder of Inside the Travel Lab, described by National Geographic Traveler as "Essential Reading" and Lonely Planet as "one of the best travel blogs in the world." Bradt may also say some nice things about it, too.

She has broadcast live on more than 50 occasions in more than fifteen countries. Locations include the chambers of Marie Antoinette in the Palace of Versailles, the highest mountain on the Arabian Peninsula, the darkness of the Arctic Circle and the twilight of the Book of Kells in Dublin.

Passionate about sustainable travel, she was invited to speak at the EU-China Summit on Sustainable Tourism at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and joined a panel to talk about responsible tourism for NASA-Hybrid CoE in Helsinki.

Favourite destination: The Arctic Circle. And Mauritius. Paris. No, London. Actually, don't ask unless you're ready to hear about twenty different places...

Little-known fact: Before writing, she studied Neuroscience at Cambridge and worked for the best part of a decade as a doctor in A&E and Intensive Care.

Neil Matthews - Marketing Assistant (press, PR, events)

Neil joined the Bradt staff team in 2023, continuing a marketing career that has ranged across financial services, Further Education, heritage and the charity sector, dealing with everyone from Marquesses to hearing dogs.

He was a winner in the Bradt / Independent on Sunday travel writing competition with an article on Berlin. Since then, he has co-written two Bradt guidebooks with his wife Helen. Their travel articles, covering everywhere from Scotland and Siberia to the Faroe Islands and North Korea, have appeared in Wanderlust, This is England and various other publications.

Neil is a published historian (his PhD thesis was on modern British travel and tourism), newsletter editor and ex officio Council member for the John Buchan Society, and an occasional spectator at Lord's Cricket Ground.

Favourite destination(s): in true Bradt style, prefers places that aren't necessarily everyone's choice such as Pakistan, Venezuela... and Hull.

Little known fact: Neil once interviewed the creator of the Wombles, Elisabeth Beresford, as part of his research for a book on the places from which the Wombles got their names.

Harriet Solomon - Digital Assistant

Harriet works at Bradt part-time while pursuing her PhD in International History at The London School of Economics. When she isn't knee-deep in an archive, she's always on the lookout for bargain flights and European weekend getaways!

Favourite destination: Lake Atitlan in Guatemala

Debbie Wylde - Partnership Manager

Debbie joined Bradt in early 2020 as freelance advertising sales, with a pause in the middle due to COVID. In January 2021 as travel opened up again, she started working on more titles and in October 2022 Debbie became part of the Bradt Team as Partnership Manager looking after most of the print and digital advertising campaigns.

Debbie has worked in travel publishing for 30 years. Prior to Bradt she worked with Footprint Travel Guides for 25 years, as Head of Advertising & sponsorship. In 2019 Footprint was purchased by Bradt Guides.

Debbie has travelled to many countries, connecting with many travel partners along the way, some of which are still friends today!

Favourite Destinations: Kenya & Tanzania - magical sunsets and beautiful people!

Little known fact: Debbie worked on a Darts Monthly magazine, networking with some top players including Phil the Power Taylor, Gary Anderson and Eric Bristow during the PDA held at The Blackpool Ballroom.

Editorial

Claire Strange - Commissioning Editor

When she joined Bradt in February 2013, Claire brought with her more than twenty years' experience editing travel guides, both in the UK and Australia. At her desk she gains enormous satisfaction from correcting hyphens and en-dashes; away from the office she spends her time visiting out-of-the-way museums, trawling the internet for exciting camping innovations and planning her next holiday.

Favourite destination: Wilsons Promontory National Park.

Little-known fact: Favourite time of the day: 06.30 for a walk in the woods.

Sue Cooper - Publishing Manager

Sue joined Bradt in 2011 after eleven years working at Dorling Kindersley and Penguin and four years prior to that with a red-shoed Dutch paper-engineer, and was surprised to find Bradt HQ was in the village she grew up in.

Starting as Production Manager, she now also works on advertising sales and commissioning, which keeps her happily busy. In her spare time, she loves to explore new places with her daughter.

Favourite destination: Walberswick, Suffolk.

Little known fact: Sue spent a year studying at the Sorbonne pretending to understand Old French.

Susannah Lord - Managing Editor

Susannah has worked in publishing for more than two decades. Her career has focused predominantly on academic journals and non-fiction books, both in house and freelance. Swapping subjects such as Shakespeare, biological sciences, cultural studies and beer for the world of travel, Susannah embarked on her journey with Bradt in 2016.

An Italian speaker, she is inspired by all things Italian, especially art, architecture and food, and is passionate about good grammar and baking (not always in that order!).

Favourite destination: Italy, of course.

Wants to visit: Trieste and Palmanova, Italy; Sri Lanka.

Ian Spick - Senior Designer and Typesetter

Ian joined Bradt from Insight Guides in 2013 where he was Senior Designer. Before that he worked as Art Editor at Dorling Kindersley, contributing to the Medical Books team and Art and Antiques team. He has also worked at a design studio that produced in-flight magazines for airlines and books.

Favourite destination: Italy and more specifically Tuscany. Ian hopes to one day go touring on motorbike there but needs to convince his wife first.

Little-known fact: Ian once bought a pint for Lemmy from Motorhead, whilst at a gig at Dingwalls in Camden. The scary-looking chap couldn't have been nicer!

Kate Howard - Editorial Assistant

Kate joined Bradt in June 2022, having worked in various fields as an administrator, teacher and librarian.

Favourite destination: Florence

Elspeth Beidas - Editorial Project Manager

Elspeth started out as an Editorial Assistant at Bradt in 2008 and, after a ten-year stint working on illustrated guides to travel and popular culture for other publishers, rejoined the company in 2023. (If that's not a sign of a good place to work, what is?!) Her early years at Bradt have been hugely influential on her approach to travel, inspiring her to seek out unsung destinations and get up close to the local wildlife. When she's not busy planning her next trip, she can usually be found walking or cycling around Surrey and the South Downs.

Favourite destination: It's impossible to choose, but Rwanda, Namibia, Georgia and Costa Rica are all up there as highlights

Samantha Fletcher - Editorial Project Manager

Sam joined Bradt in 2023 after ten years of working as an editor, first at a newspaper and later at Pan Macmillan. When not ironing out grammar and pedantically checking facts, Sam loves to bake - and, of course, travel!

Favourite destinations: Vietnam and Chile.

Little-known fact: Prue Leith once asked her why she was so determined to get Guinness into a cake. The answer is: because it's delicious, Prue...

Accounts

Helen Matthews - Data and Office Manager

Philip Briggs is a guidebook writer and website content creator specialised in African travel. He first backpacked between Nairobi and Cape Town in 1986 and has been travelling the highways and byways of Africa ever since. Since the 1990s, he has researched and authored several pioneering Bradt Guides to destinations that were then - and in some cases still are - otherwise practically uncharted by the travel publishing industry. These include the first dedicated guidebooks to Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda and Somaliland. He has worked on guidebooks for several other publishers including AA, Insight, Berlitz, Eyewitness, Frommers, Rough Guides, Struik-New Holland and 30 Degrees South.

A skilled and experienced content creator, Philip wrote all the text for the national tourist websites for Ethiopia and Lesotho. He is a major contributor to and expert panel member for safaribookings.com, and has provided extensive content to the likes of Travel Africa, Hide And Seek Travel and Discover Africa.

Though specialised in Africa, Philip tries to travel further afield when possible. In recent years he authored the first dedicated English-language guidebooks to Suriname and an overhauled 600-page guidebook to Sri Lanka, both published by Bradt, as well as updating their guides to North Macedonia and the Peloponnese. When not on the road, he spends his time battering away at a keyboard in the sleepy South African village of Wilderness. He is married to the travel photographer Ariadne Van Zandbergen.

African travel specialist Philip Briggs has been exploring the highways, byways and backwaters of the world's most challenging and exciting continent since 1986, when he spent several months backpacking on a shoestring from Nairobi to Cape Town. In 1991, he wrote the Bradt Guide to South Africa, the first such guidebook to be published internationally after the release of Nelson Mandela.

Over the rest of the 1990s, Philip wrote a series of pioneering Bradt Guides to destinations that were then - and in some cases still are - otherwise practically uncharted by the travel publishing industry. These included the first dedicated guidebooks to Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Ghana and Rwanda (co-authored with Janice Booth), all of which are now in their 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th edition.

Philip has visited more than two dozen African countries, and written about most of them, whether it be for guidebook publishers such as AA, APA-Insight, Berlitz, Camerapix, Dorling Kindersley, Frommers, Struik-New Holland and 30 Degrees South, or for specialist travel and wildlife magazines including Africa Birds & Birding, Africa Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Travel Africa and Wanderlust.

He still spends at least four months on the road every year, and spends his rest of the time battering away at a keyboard in the sleepy dorp of Bergville, in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg region of South Africa. He is married to the travel photographer Ariadne Van Zandbergen and lives with three dogs and a cat. When not obssessing over some or other aspect of African history, culture, wildlife or travel, Philip's interests include music, reading and walking.
