Democratic Republic of the Congo
New from Bradt, Democratic Republic of the Congo is the only dedicated, up-to-date, English-language guidebook to this thrilling African destination. Not much smaller than Alaska and Texas combined, the continent's second-largest country offers plenty for adventurous travellers to explore. The mighty River Congo rises in the south before winding along the Equator for nearly 5,000 km to reach the Atlantic Ocean. On either side, twenty different ecosystems give rise to a multitude of landscapes, from tropical rainforests (which serve as the world's second-largest carbon sink) to volcanic mountains, and great lakes to savanna plateaus. DRC's National Parks and nature reserves cover around 12% of the country and are well worth the effort to get to, as they host some of the world's most exciting wildlife-watching opportunities - the main reason why many people visit DRC. As well as harbouring more bird species than other African countries, nowhere else in the world provides the chance to see the giraffe-like okapi (a bizarre giraffe-like creature) and bonobo (formerly known as pygmy chimpanzee). Moreover, sites for both mountain and eastern lowland gorillas lie firmly on the tourist trail at the world-famous locations of Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega national parks. Even if wildlife does not float your boat, there is much to savour. The capital, Kinshasa, is one of Africa's great cities. This is the home of musique congolaise, enjoyed all over Africa and beyond - and of the sapeurs (DRC's renowned snappy dressers). Historic Kisangani is the furthest navigable point on the River Congo; Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart stayed here when filming The African Queen. The city of Lubumbashi offers wide boulevards and art-deco buildings, plus good hotels and restaurants in which to relax. Once rested, if the area is at peace, why not hike to the summit of Nyiragongo volcano and spend the night beside the world's largest lava lake? With its wide-ranging coverage offering advice on everything from tour operators to accommodation, and security to visiting national parks, Bradt's Democratic Republic of the Congo is your essential travel companion.

All accessible separately and individually. There is enough information to enable any reader to feel they understand so much more about Africa. The description of the terrain and savannah landscapes makes you feel as though you have actually been there. The author travelled widely by bus, train, lake steamer, truck and even ordinary car.

With maps and fully updated, comprehensive practical information A comprehensive and practical guide to the many extraordinary sights of Libya. From the best preserved towns of the whole Roman empire, to ancient Arab souks and medinas, and the magnificent desert landscapes, oases and prehistoric rock paintings of the south, Libya is one of the most dramatic and least known countries of the Mediterranean. Proud, warm and welcoming, Libyans are perhaps the most engaging hosts in the Middle East.Libya has been so little visited by Westerners over the last decades that it remains an unspoilt and fabulously welcoming country. As a result, however, finding one's way around is not as easy as in more familiar destinations. Wendy Gower has lived and worked in Libya for almost nine years, and has explored the whole country thoroughly. She brings a wealth of experience - and undimmed enthusiasm - to her guidebook, and the traveller will find her a stimulating and reliable companion.
