Editorial Review: Product Description: This Bradt guide has become the definitive source of information on this country rich in culture, history, and dramatic scenery. For first-time visitors, Philip Briggs supplies plenty of practical advice on how to bridge the cultural gap and plan a trouble-free trip. Heritage hotspots in a land thought to be the cradle of civilization and resting place of the Ark of the Covenant include the architecturally fascinating rock-hewn church of Lalibela, the unofficial eighth wonder of the world, and ancient palaces and staelae at Axum. Ethiopia boasts nine national parks and several wildlife sanctuaries, all of which are detailed in Philip Briggs's comprehensive text. This guide features: >Where to find some of East Africa's rarest wildlife, including the Simien wolf, walia ibex, and gelada baboon >Ethiopia's national parks and wildlife sanctuaries >Traveling the Northern Historic Circuit >Addis Ababa in detail: where to stay, eat, and drink, plus nearby sightseeing Average Rating:

Rating: - Best guide book for any country, periodThe Bradt guide to Ethiopia is hands down the best guide book I have ever used for any country, and I own a lot of guide books. Briggs has a really engaging way of writing and I read the guide book like I would a novel. There are a few times during our trip when I quibbled with his description of the quality of a hotel, but by the time the trip was over, I agreed with him (ie, hotel quality is very much a matter of relativity in Ethiopia). I am only half joking when I say that we are choosing our ... Read More Rating: - Ethiopia Travel GuideBecause I am planning a trip to Ethiopia this fall, I have been looking for travel and historical information on the country with little success. The Bradt Travel Guide, Edition 4, on Ethiopia was a welcome find. It is thorough, factual, and even has a few color pictures of important sites and fauna of the country. The chapter on culture and history and was just what I was looking for to give me background information before my visit. The three specific areas to which I will be traveling - Addis Ababa, ...
