Kenya Highlights Zusammenfassung

Kenya Highlights Philip Briggs

Kenya Highlights, first in a new series of colourful Highlights Guides published by Bradt, hones in on the best of this magnificent country and condenses it into a portable but informative guidebook aimed at first time visitors planning or joining an organised safari. Renowned Africa expert, Philip Briggs - author of ten Bradt guides, and arguably the most highly-respected guidebook writer on the region - describes and provides full background information to the country's highlights, with emphasis on the superlative game reserves and sparkling Indian Ocean coastline that have made Kenya one of Africa's premier holiday destinations. There's a chapter offering advice on safari planning, plus detailed sections on wildlife, history and people, and select lodge accommodation (chosen in conjunction with several leading tour operators to Kenya). Featuring beautiful full-colour photos throughout, this book serves equally as a holiday planner, a travel companion and a memento of your trip.
