Zambia (5th ed)

Zambia is one of the best destinations in Africa for walking and river safaris, hot springs and waterfalls.

This fifth, fully updated edition leads visitors through all the prime attractions - set in their historical and environmental context - from the newly declared Ngonye Falls National Park, through the Sioma Ngwezi National Park to the famous Luangwa Park, host to several unique species and an ideal place for leopard-spotting.

It includes advice for the independent traveller: how to bush camp in comfort, survival techniques for canoe encounters with hippos or crocodiles as well as guidance on all-terrain driving.

With detailed reviews of lodges, hotels and campsites, plus 51 maps and GPS coordinates, Bradt's Zambia is the essential travel companion for anyone going to this under-explored safari destination.
