Zambia: The Bradt Travel Guide

2007-09-07T22:29:00Z

Zambia remains the best place in Africa for walking safaris, offering unparalleled opportunities to see elephants and other wildlife thanks to the expertise of local guides. But Zambia has much more to offer: vast tracts of open bush, Victoria Falls and the little-explored expanses of Bangweulu Swamps are just a few of the attractions for the visitor seeking the real Africa behind the travel hype.

In this second edition of Zambia: The Bradt Travel Guide, author Chris McIntyre has fully updated every aspect of travel in a country which is still scarcely touched by tourism, from accommodation and national parks to transport and adventurous activities. Indispensable both as a planning tool and as a traveling companion. This guide specializes in choosing the right lodges and camps; includes detailed coverage of national parks and illustrated wildlife section; safaris and how to organize them - walking, driving and canoeing; people and culture, including local festivals; adventure travel and adrenaline sports; total solar eclipse of 2001: getting the best view as well as 39 new maps and town plans.

Adventuring in Southern Africa: The Great Safaris and Wildlife Parks of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa, Malawi, Lesotho, and Swaziland

2007-09-07T22:14:00Z

Southern Africa - long famous for the oldest and best-managed game parks on the continent is becoming increasingly popular as an adventure travel destination. In the 1990s the number of visitors to the region nearly doubled, to more than 6.5 million tourists per year, as adventure travelers abandoned traditional safari sites in Kenya and Tanzania for the world-class national parks of Botswana and Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia. Favorable political changes have inspired an increase in tourism to South Africa, and the pristine wilderness areas in the smaller nations of Malawi, Lesotho, and Swaziland have become favorites with budget travelers in search of adventure well off the beaten track.

Adventuring in Southern Africa is a comprehensive guide to the geography, culture, natural history, and adventure opportunities in these eight countries, including:

The legendary areas of Victoria Falls
The Okavango Delta
The Zambezi River
Etosha
Kruger National Park
The classic safari as well as unconventional car, hiking, rafting, and canoe trips
The nuts and bolts of how to plan a trip, including what to pack, how to adjust to local customs, what documents to take, and safari etiquette
A full range of travel styles, from luxury tours to independent budget travel
How to stay healthy while traveling in Africa
With appendices listing safari tour operators and conservation groups, as well as a helpful safari bibliography, Adventuring in Southern Africa is an essential tool for anyone planning a trip to this spectacular and still unspoiled part of the world.

Negotiating Blood

2004-08-15T00:24:00Z

This month we feature a book by Hannilie H. Zulu entitled Negotiating Blood. The book is an authoritative African voice on African issues. For decades, we have heard people from the Western world speaking of Africa: What is the problem and what is the solution? What do the Africans want? How can Africa be developed?

While every European and American could call themselves experts, the Africans themselves have so far spoken very little. Africa doesn't have a voice - or it is quenched by the western world aid industry, a giant living for all but common African people.

Negotiating Blood is not a women's liberation book. It speaks about the big headlines of international politics. First of all: It is a death declaration to IMF, World Bank in Africa, and Western companies. Under their cover of aid contribution, they all continue to undermine the existence of a basically strong continent, forcing it deeper and deeper into misery.

It is also a war declaration to the African national leaders who recklessly continue to rob their populations - sticking to an unfortunate tradition of mismanagement.

With Negotiating Blood, Africa has got a voice. And a strong one. Read it! Act on it!
