This thorough and meticulously researched trekking guide is the only one to describe all the ascents, descents & summit trails. It also describes the Circuit Path which circumnavigates Kibo at 4000m and the Momela Route up nearby Mt Meru. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs and each route description is complemented by coloured, contoured route maps. The author also devotes plenty of space to matters of preparation, safety, geography, history, natural history, climate and environmental impact considerations. Paperback, 255 pages.

Tanzania Travel Guides

Rough Guide to Tanzania. Rough Guides, 2003 (new edition due in late April). Lying just south of the equator, Tanzania is East Africa’s largest country, and an immensely rewarding place to visit. Filling the brochures are several world-famous attractions: the plains of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro (Africa’s highest mountain) and Zanzibar, with its idyllic palm-fringed beaches and historic Stone Town. Yet there’s a whole lot more to Tanzania than these obvious highlights. Almost everywhere you go you’ll find interesting wildlife and inspiring landscapes (over forty percent of the country is protected in some form or other) ranging from forest-covered volcanic peaks to dusty savanna populated by elephants, antelopes, lions, leopards and cheetahs. Tanzania is one of the four most naturally diverse nations on earth: it contains Africa’s second-largest number of bird species (around 1500), the continent’s biggest mammal population and three-quarters of East Africa’s plant species (over ten thousand). Add to this the country’s rich ethnic diversity, some superb hiking and other activities like snorkelling and diving, and you have the makings of a holiday of a lifetime.
