Botswana Bewertungen

'There can be few people better qualified to write a travel guide on Botswana than Chris McIntyre...Like all good guide books, this is packed with all kinds of practical and wide-ranging advice - from driving near elephants to maps with GPS references and how to shake hands Botswana style...What's more, even the nuts-and-bolts sections are well-written and make enjoyable reading. In particular, the region-by-region chapters on the country's reserves, camps and lodges had me longing to jump on the first plane to Maun. Each area is painstakingly described - clearly the result of meticulous first-hand research...If you can take only one book to Botswana, make sure it's this one.' BBC Wildlife 'Gives a complete coverage of this unique ecosystem and its bird and plant life.' NHBS (Natural History Book Services) 'The definitive guide for wildlife enthusiasts.' Wanderlust '...excellent companion for your Okavango trip.' Travel Africa
