Zanzibar,
6th: Pemba and Mafia (Sept 06) (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - Europe
by Bradt Travel Guide
the
first travel guide to concentrate exclusively on Zanzibar and Pemba. This sixth
edition brings every aspect of travel on the islands up to date, from sourcing
hotels to creating an individual itinerary from the selection of landmarks,
markets, and activities detailed in the guide. Fascinating background on the
history and culture of the islands, a thorough section on land and marine
wildlife, and a guide to the architectural treasures of Stone Town will help
the traveler discover many aspects of Zanzibar.
The Rough Guide Zanzibar (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Rough Guides, Jens Finke
The ultimate guide to Africa's legendary Spice Islands. There are lively
and informative accounts of every attraction from pristine beaches and coral
reefs to the atmosphere of labyrinthine Stone Town. Practical coverage includes
all the island's hotels and restaurants, from basic lodgings in Stone Town to
luxury east-coast resorts, together with a mass of practical info on diving and
touring the interior. Also covering the neighbouring island of Pemba, this new
pocket-format guide is the ideal companion for any visit specifically to
Zanzibar.
Lonely Planet: Tanzania, Zanzibar and
Pemba (amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Mary Fitzpatrick
This guide to
Tanzania, Zanzibar and Pemba contains a 16-page colour safari section; complete
coverage of Tanzania's national parks, reserves and marine areas; expert advice
on trekking Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru; a section on birdspotting; and
extensive dive site information
Tanzania &
Zanzibar (Maps Worldwide)
Cadogan guides achieve excellent
reviews across the travel press. Their style is somewhat more literary than for
example the Eyewitness Guides from DK, but they contain a lot of very useful
information. Our personal view is that they are best used in planning what to
do in a place rather than guiding your way around it. For planning they are
probably the best on the market.
Tanzania &
Zanzibar Insight Guides (Maps Worldwide)
The excellent Insight Guides provide
colourful background reading with informative text, good photography and
includes a travel planner and maps.
