Kurzbeschreibung
Der Autor über sein Buch
I've been involved with Namibia since writing the UK's first 'Guide to Namibia & Botswana' in 1990. Now I run a specialist tour operator and spend much of my time organizing trips to Namibia. For 2-3 months of all of the last five years I have traveled around the subcontinent, looking for what's new and what's changed.
'Namibia: the Bradt Travel Guide' is my third book on this wonderful country, and the enthusiasm's not worn off yet. From the towering apricot dunes of the central Namib to the desolation of the Skeleton Coast, the spectacle of game in Etosha, or the sheer insight available in Bushmanland - it's magical. And it's very easy to visit.
This guide will enable you to do that. It is very comprehensive, with practical details of the cost, location, facilities and contact details for all lodges, hotels, bush-camps, camping sites and guest farms, as well as personal comments on which are the best and friendliest places. This is a critical guide; I haven't been afraid to offer opinions as well as facts.
Throughout the guide, I've paid special attention to sustainable tourism, mindful of the visitor's responsibility to the people and landscape of Namibia. To help the inquiring visitor, there are extensive sections on Namibia's history, its people and its natural environment. Also the text is dotted with special-interest boxes, discussing wide-ranging issues from the controversy of the 'Epupa Dam Project' to 'Safety for Women Travelers' and the unique adaptations of animals to the harsh Namib Desert.
This is a personal guide, backed by years of living and working in and with Southern Africa. The introduction notes the background to the guide:
"I first visited Namibia in 1989, as the South African administration started to relinquish its grip and the country prepared for independence. By then I had lived in Southern Africa for several years and traveled widely. Namibia was rumored to be wonderful; but nobody seemed to know any details. The world knew South West Africa (Namibia) only as a troubled place from news bulletins, nothing more. So I hired a small car and drove from Namibia's northeastern tip to its southern border in 12 days. Overseas tourism simply didn't exist then. Sesriem had one campsite with just 11 pitches for tents; the Fish River Canyon was deserted. That trip was terribly rushed, but Namibia captivated me. The scale of its wilderness was as enchanting, and travelling was remarkably easy."
Finally, I always welcome reader's thought and comments after using the guide - what's useful, what's less so, and what topics/aspects you'd like to see more or less of. I'll be writing the next edition in a few years time, so please send me feedback when you have bought this guide. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
