Uganda, 6th

by: Philip Briggs, Andrew Roberts
i love bradt guides for their detailed information. this book was indispensible on my recent trip to uganda. however, i do wish it provided a little more background and practical information on gorilla tracking. many people who go to uganda do so for tracking and it would have been helpful to have more information about the different gorilla families, the pros and cons of each tracking location, etc. other than that, it's a great guide.

East Africa Handbook: With Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia

by: Michael Hodd
I am planning a trip to Africa and have scoured many bookstores and shelves for THE BOOK. Footprints provides a wonderful book for those who really want to know EVERYTHING in preparation for their trip--from tipping guides to safari ratings to hotel guides to crime and embassy information--ad infinitim. This book is wealth of practical information and provides maps, history, culture and language information and even has a built in glossy color wildlife section on the flora and fauna one will encounter whilst in East Africa.

Spectrum Guide to Uganda

I wouldn't normally be so harsh on a book, but this one was really bad in almost every respect. First, there is no indication at all in this book of how expensive Kampala has become over the last decade, so I ended up taking not enough money and had to have my parents wire me cash over Western Union. Not that the book would have helped in that regard, of course, because there is no information in the guidebook about Western Union or how to get cash to Uganda.

In a section at the back of the book there is a list of hotels with, of course, no prices listed, and, while the authors list theatres, tour operators and even libraries, they conveniently leave out restaurants.
