Outstanding!December 29, 2008 Like most other Bradt guides written by the same author, this book is simply excellent. The fact that it is the only single-country practical guide to Uganda could sell it in itself, but that has not made the author any less thorough. As well as offering truly in-depth background information on Uganda's troubled history and fascinating mix of cultures, it has all the practical details on travelling around the country you might possibly expect. And unlike certain recent Bradt guides by other authors, it still gives you exact prices for accommodation and transport, which is useful even if such details do change. Where it truly stands out though is the wealth of information on Uganda's fauna and nature reserves. Reading it is enough to make any nature-lover search for air-tickets, if they haven't yet got them!
All in all: this book can't be recommended highly enough. Even if you haven't used Bradt guides before, get this one!
An excellent Travel GuideJanuary 13, 2008 The Bradt Travel Guides are always useful. However, the Guide to Uganda (5th Edition) has proved to be very reliable. Bradt can be relied on to keep there travel guides up-to-date but I also receive the interim e-mail updates and these are well worth reading. Subscription is simple, just send an e-mail to the author (Philip Briggs) or keep an eye on the website.

If you are interested in visiting Uganda, this is THE guide; up-to-date, accurate and very easy to read. It is more than a guide book in that it can be browsed for pleasure in its own right. I like to think that I know the country reasonably well, but this book is full of fascinating information and each edition that comes out tells you something new.

The Bradt Guide to Uganda is a mine of useful and interesting information about the country. I used it throughout my recent trip to Uganda. Other guides may include more photographs, but Bradt is the best for detail, accuracy and interest. The publisher also operates a free email update service.
absolutely brilliantAugust 18, 2004 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
basically, this is the best travel guide book that I've ever had the pleasure of using.
comprehensive information on where to stay, and to eat, which is ideal for independent travellers.
the advice about driving is invaluable, if you're lucky enough to hire a car, this book tells you everything you need to know about the state of the roads, and the maps are clear enough for you to drive around the country with it alone. Lonely planet in comparison is less than 2/3 the size, with consequently less information
