  • Relatively up to date information although a few facts were off. Easy to read and well put together for a country that is not often specifically featured in books and has only started to invest in tourist endeavors. Reviews of hostels, hotels were accurate. More maps needed though. Overall helpful and complete – appreciated the historical sections.

  • i love bradt guides for their detailed information. this book was indispensible on my recent trip to uganda. however, i do wish it provided a little more background and practical information on gorilla tracking. many people who go to uganda do so for tracking and it would have been helpful to have more information about the different gorilla families, the pros and cons of each tracking location, etc. other than that, it’s a great guide.

  • Like most other Bradt guides written by the same author, this book is simply excellent.

    The fact that it is the only single-country practical guide to Uganda could sell it in itself, but that has not made the author any less thorough.

    As well as offering truly in-depth background information on Uganda’s troubled history and fascinating mix of cultures, it has all the practical details on travelling around the country you might possibly expect. And unlike certain recent Bradt guides by other authors, it still gives you exact prices for accommodation and transport, which is useful even if such details do change.

    Where it truly stands out though is the wealth of information on Uganda’s fauna and nature reserves. Reading it is enough to make any nature-lover search for air-tickets, if they haven’t yet got them!

    All in all: this book can’t be recommended highly enough.

    Even if you haven’t used Bradt guides before, get this one!

  • Last year I went to Uganda. The information given in the book was very useful for me. When you want to go to Uganda it is really necessary to buy this book. The first chapters of this book are about religion, history, polical and other general things about the “pearl of Africa”. In the following chapters he crosses the whole country. All national parks are explained in this chapters. Correct and accurate information is given about hotels where you can stay and about the quality of the hotels. For example he explains how get everywhere in the country. When you know nothing about “The pearl of Africa” or you know a lot about Uganda, it will always be a very interesting book. Try it!
