  Tanzania is a growing travel destination. Upmarket, safe yet adventurous, it is second only to Kenya, its more tourist-cluttered neighbour, as the East African place to go. The fourth edition of the Bradt guide has updated information on planning a trip, whether as an independent traveller or on all-inclusive safaris in luxury game lodges. The main attractions of the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater and lakes Victoria and Tanganyika are covered in depth, with supporting advice on how to get the most out of photographic equipment, combating danger from hippos, crocodiles and snakes, recommending ground tour operators, interaction with local cultures and communicating in Swahili. It offers comprehensive coverage of lodges, safaris and the great wildlife-watching opportunities on offer, and includes Zanzibar and Pemba islands and exploring the national parks.
