Fodor's The Complete Guide to African Safaris

An African safari is considered the trip of a lifetime for many, and recent
continent-wide expansion of low-cost airfares has made many African
destinations more affordable to reach. Fodor's The Complete Guide to
African Safaris provides the most comprehensive and engaging
information on the most popular game-viewing regions in Kenya, South
Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia, and Zambia.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: Other guides cover part of the process, but
only Fodor's deals with all aspects of the planning, picking, and preparing
for safaris around Africa.
EXPANDED COVERAGE: Travelers will be able to determine which African safari destination is
best for them and plan their trip step by step from months before departure to the day of arrival.
We cover the best local and international safari tour operators with information on how to create
a dream safari, whether it's a luxury, bespoke experience, or a rustic in-the-bush excursion.
Plus, Fodor's reveals the best beaches for must-needed post-safari relaxation. More in-depth
planning information is given for popular gorilla treks in Rwanda and Uganda.
ILLUSTRATED FEATURES: Special full-color "Fodor's Features" throughout the guide provide
rich information on the Great Migration, how to dress, types of lodging and vehicles, different
African tribes, and African culture. Gorgeous photos throughout, many by Fodor's travelers,
provide endless inspiration.
