Amazon Highlights and South Africa Highlights are the latest offerings in this new, full-colour guidebook series from
Bradt written for those on organised tours. Its approach is unique, bringing together the country expertise of leading guidebook writers and the accommodation expertise of the top tour operators. The series helps readers with pre-departure planning – in deciding what they want from their tour– and provides an informative companion to take on the trip itself.
Philip Briggs lives and breathes Africa, and the collected wisdom of his years of research finds new focus on well-trodden ground in South Africa Highlights. Attractions range from stately Cape Town with majestic Table Mountain, to the scenic winelands around Stellenbosch and the world-renowned Kruger National Park and adjacent private reserves. With hundreds of different national parks and reserves, Africa’s longest coastline and several of the region’s oldest and most vibrant towns, visitors are often dazzled and confused by the array of options.
Roger Harris has been travelling to the Amazon region for nearly 20 years, documenting the area’s natural history.
The Amazon is the world’s biggest rainforest, falling within the confines of nine countries and luring millions of visitors. Trying to decide where to go is a challenge for any traveller. Should you visit the Iguaçu Falls in Brazil, or Peru’s Pongo de Manseriche? Should your base be in Manaus or Iquitos? Where can you see a giant otter or swim with pink dolphins? Amazon Highlights showcases the best of the region – example itineraries and ideal starting points, a selection of ‘tried and tested’ lodges, and a review of leading tour operators and tour guides.
